Officine Panerai has produced a special-edition Ferrari watch to mark the launch of the Ferrari California.

Named the Ferrari California Flyback Chronograph, the watch is a limited-edition timepiece of which just 400 will be made. It has two counters, with stylish characteristics and materials aiming to combine the classic and the modern, just as the Ferrari California has proved so successful in doing.

The watchcase is 45mm in diameter, in polished steel with brushed edges, the rotor engraved with the Prancing Horse. A black dial bears the Ferrari California logo.

The sapphire crystal is 1.9mm thick, with double anti-reflective treatment, and the watch is water-resistant to a depth of 100m. A black alligator strap carries contrasting stitching and a brushed-steel buckle. The watch comes with a spare rubber strap, inscribed with the word ‘Ferrari’.

The price of the limited-edition watch has yet to be confirmed, but is expected to be around £8500.
