The Best Panerai Watches of 2024

“It has been a remarkable and pivotal year for Panerai on multiple fronts,” Jean-Marc Pontroué, CEO of the Italo-Swiss dive-watch specialists, told Esquire's Big Watch Book at the tail end of 2023. “Central to our celebrations this year was our tribute to the iconic Radiomir collection. Recognised for its distinctive cushion shape, generous dimensions and unique three-part construction, Radiomir embodies our innovation and DNA.”

Panerai delved deep into its history for the latest models, producing a pair of annual calendar watches, as well as a new version with a deep green gradient “California” dial — a favourite among the fanboy “Paneristi”. It's yet to be seen what 2024 holds for the marque – we'll keep you updated right here, of course, but for now let's take a look at some of the biggest releases of the past twelve months (and once you're done, read our rundown of the most important watches of all-time.)
