Panerai roped in cricketing icon Mahendra Singh Dhoni as Indian brand ambassador. Undeniably, Dhoni is a remarkable athlete and a true gentleman both on and off the field. He is an authentic cricketing star who is not only recognised and acclaimed in India but also in the world. He is the one and the only captain who led team India to great international success.
Dhoni has always been a great admirer of Panerai and at the end of 2018 the Indian skipper became the brand ambassador for India. Now, the brand is celebrating this collaboration with the launch of two new models: the Luminor GMT – 44 mm (PAM01056) and the Luminor Chrono Flyback – 44 mm (PAM01057).
The two newly launched Panerai watches truly express the dynamic dual personality of MS Dhoni: determined, confident, and dependable in the field, he is eclectic, flawless and sociable.
And all these are the fundamental characteristics of the Luminor GMT – 44 mm (PAM01056). A watch that is tough and reliable with its case of solid AISI 316L stainless steel. The same is the case of the Luminor Chrono Flyback – 44 mm (PAM01057), it is naturally more sophisticated but just as beautiful-looking with its case made of GoldtechTM, a gold alloy that is allegedly developed by the Panerai Laboratorio di Idee.
The common feature of both models is their green dial. And this is a very relevant identifying characteristic, as green is MS Dhoni’s favorite color. Also, green is one of the color of the Indian flag.
And the most prominent personalized details is the back of the case which has MS Dhoni’s signature engraved on it, his cricketing image, the number183 that symbolizes his highest score in one-day international Cricket along with the outline of the Indian sub-continent map. I think Dhoni deserves it, he is one of the best cricketers in the world, and surely he deserves all the celebration!
