I don't know what it is, but everytime I watch the movie Ferris Buellers Day Off, it reminds me of when I was ten years old in the eighties, and because life was so much more simple then, the movie just gets better and better as you watch it repeatedly. I am not sure if it's because of the principle Edward Rooney, who makes me laugh as he gets his ass chewed out throughout the whole film, or because it features the only Ferrari I have truly ever loved. Ah yes, the Ferrari California, not to be mistaken by any other Ferrari ever made. The antithesis of a true roadster at it's finest. I mean to be totally honest, Today A Ferrari automobile is nothing more than a symbol compensating for a guy having a really small knob. The true definition of craftsmanship, exclusivity and passion gets lost by the wanker driving the car. Sad really, until now. The rebirth of the legendary Ferrari California has graced us all in a way that preserves that original vintage feel, but keeps in mind the technology and engineering available today.
Now, I know a lot of you out there as Panerai and watch collectors, have been jaded by the whole Ferrari watch engineered by Panerai, but I urge you to take a look at the new watch dedicated to the legendary car that is California. Just when you think that the Panerai Ferrari watches are dead and are about to be buried, Panerai pulls one of the greatest comebacks by releasing a limited edition California Flyback Chronograph watch for Ferrari,limited to 400 pieces for the world. This watch is heart, body and soul, just like the car, and the timing couldn't have been better. As much as this car is a daily driving Ferrari, this is a daily wearing Ferrari timepiece engineered by Panerai. The cushion shape watch case measures 45 mm in diameter, and is stamped out of stainless steel, has a black satin finished dial with a dual register chronograph with red accents paying homage to the gauges in the cockpit of the car.
The Icon California is written in script above the 6 o'clock position to make no mistake about the spirit of Ferrari California. So all the detail just like the car is underneath the hood or in the case, can be viewed through the sapphire caseback where self winding rotor is engraved with the infamous iconic Ferrari Prancing Horse Logo. In a pinch, don't worry! The Ferrari California is not just aesthetically pleasing front and back, but also ensures quality, durability and water resistance to 100 meters with the assistance of the screw down crown and the extra rubber strap provided for comfort for everyday situations.
Just when you think you need to have the car to buy the watch to match, YOU ARE WRONG! You can actually own a piece of the true spirit of the car with this incredibly cool time piece for the price of a Ferrari tune up and experience the passion that is Californication!
