Ref. 3646 watches with “California Dials”
by Volker on Oct.18, 2019, under Allgemein
Vintage Panerai watches with “California Dials” are recorded in several number groups of the Reference 3646. Read our book “The References” 1930’s-1940’s to find out, in which of the seven number groups (3646 / Type A – 3646 / Type G) this type of dial has been used and which number group features almost half of all known 3646 watches with “California Dial” today.
The “Error-Proof Radium Dial” by Rolex, with its railroad track minute markers and “SWISS MADE” signature at six o’clock, features half arabic and half roman numbers with luminous material applied from above.
Information on “The References” 1930’s-1940’s can be found here. The new “The References” books can be ordered only in our bookstore.
Enjoy reading!
