Icon14 Best white dial Panerai ?

I’m looking to add a white dial to my collection and there’s just too many variants and eras and movements to shortlist.

I’d prefer a non-chrono or gmt with a manual wind but could go auto if necessary. And I don’t care the age of it or what movement is in it.

So far the 114 and 660 seem to hit the mark but if you have any other suggestions on other references to look at please share prior to me making a decision.

I will then decide on my own!!!!!


Thank you

I'm enjoying my 1342! If interested, I can PM you the name of the boutique manager that found me one very quickly.

Good choice, white Panerai are great pieces.

I’ve an 049. Similar in design cues to what you’re looking at, but smaller.

Sweet. I think the one I got was a 44mm.

114 model. Old but I wanted the glass back and OPX Unitas to go with my 210.

1314 and 654 are two other white dials that come to mind. Don’t exactly fit your criteria, but are nice white dial PAMs, IMHO.

PAM 00602 which was part of the preV inspired set PAM 00785. The 20 year anniversary interpretation of the 5218-207/A, Luminor Daylight, the first white dialed Panerai model. For me 602 is even better than the model which inspired it as it doesn’t have Slytech on the dial and the huge and looked after OP logo on the case back. Plus the 8 day movement which I have regulated to solve the first day fast running issue. what not to like??

Gorgeous. I was curious about the 8 day and will likely grab another down the road.

The p.5000 movement is notorious for running fast in the very first day when fully wound, this can however get easily regulated by the service center or tolerated by slightly under winding the movement say 20-30 turns less the maximum number of the crown turns what is usually required to get it fully wound. Yes you would have like 7-7.5 days PR in theory due to that but in reality these movements have more than 8 days PR anyway. And yes, love mine 602 for being the very first white dial ref 5218-207/A less Slytech on the dial and lovely OP logo on the case back. And unlike the 563 model it is based on, there’s no 8 days inscription on the dial

I like the 1314 but the 1226 is what I am wearing a lot of.

Best white dial Panerai ?


I’m very seriously considering this, I didn’t plan to buy a white dial but after trying on a few this one was my favourite.

Bump for this, considering picking the 1226 up myself as well.

Ash did you get it?
