For no fewer than ten years, MS Dhoni has been the forefront of the Indian cricket team leading both on and off the field. A remarkable cricket star and a fine man to look up to, Panerai now celebrates its brand ambassador by introducing two new limited edition watches – the Luminor GMT – 44 mm (PAM01056) and the Luminor Chrono Flyback – 44 mm (PAM01057).
The two pieces have been designed to encompass the true spirit of Dhoni – determined, dependable and confident.
Luminor GMT is tough and reliable with its case of solid stainless steel, while the Luminor Chrono Flyback is naturally more sophisticated but equally charming with the case made of GoldtechTM, a gold alloy home to the Panerai Laboratorio di Idee.
The Luminor cases include a celebratory engraving with the inscription “Mahendra Singh Dhoni 183”, the outline of the Indian peninsula, and a picture of the player with his signature.
Though duality strikes beautifully, what dials them together is the characteristic green present in both the watches. It’s an endearing element, green being Dhoni’s favourite color as well as one of the colors of the Indian flag.
Versatile, authentic and wearable for all sports, Panerai’s Luminor watches with MS Dhoni describe style in sport fluently.
