Panerai and Watch Terms Defined
home > panerai glossary
A small list of Panerai watch specific terms and their meanings.
- Destro
This is a left-hand Panerai with the crown on the left side of the watch. - Device Protecting the Crown
This is Panerai's trademarked name for the signature crown protector used in all the Luminor series of watches. - Fiddy
The nickname for the Panerai 1950 PAM 127 special edition released in 2002. - Pre-Vendome
Panerai watches produced between 1993 and 1997 prior to the acquisition by Vendome (now the Richemont group) are said to be "Pre-Vendome". - Sandwich Dial
Sandwich dials are where numbers and minute markers are cut out of the metal plate which forms the visible dial (behind the crystal). Behind this is a second metal plate with recessed areas where a thick luminous paste is applied - the areas corresponding to the cut-outs in the first metal plate - thus 'sandwiching' the luminous material between the two metal plates.
