Panerai adds new materials and lines to Radiomir
The latest version of the Radiomir Quaranta is dressed in Panerai’s Goldtech case, while the new Otto Giorni is presented in two versions – one with a dark brown dial and the other with a blue one
Radiomir Quaranta Goldtech
The Radiomir Quaranta Goldtech is set in a polished Goldtech case – a gold material developed by Panerai including a combination of platinum and copper donating an intense red appearance – with a white sun-brushed dial and a matt brown alligator strap. Quaranta, forty in Italian, stands for the 40mm case size that defines the collection’s essence. Measuring 10.15mm in thickness, the watch’s case is the slimmest in the entire Panerai range and features the Radiomir cone-shaped crown. The iconic cushion-shaped case houses a white sun-brushed sandwich dial, with indexes and numerals that reflects light rays with the movement of the wearer, while the beige Super-Luminova illuminates in green in the dark. The strap is easily interchangeable with other straps from Panerai’s extensive range of colours and finishes. Technical details include the P.900 calibre, a 4.2mm thick next-generation automatic movement, the first of its size from Panerai to combine the date and three days of power reserve, water-resistance to 3 bar (~30 metres), and a Panerai Goldtech buckle.
Radiomir Otto Giorni
The new Radiomir Otto Giorni features strong vintage aesthetics inspired by the very first Radiomir prototype in 1935. The deliberately weathered eSteel case is paired with iconic Radiomir elements – cushion-shaped case, slim wire lugs, and signature sandwich dial. The Super-LumiNova dial features a small seconds display at 9 o’clock, while the case has an open back with a domed sapphire glass crystal, reminiscent of the Plexiglass crystal of the past. The watch also has a cone-shaped crown. PAM01347 has a grainy-shaded dark brown dial and PAM01348 in blue – both dials transition from a light centre to a darker gradient. To match is a supple calf leather strap in the same hue of the dial with a pebbled effect and contrast stitching, made to season with wear. The hand-wound P.5000 calibre powers the timepiece and features an eight-day power reserve – visible thanks to the open case-back in sapphire crystal. The dial with the “8 giorni brevettato” decal at hour 3 pays homage to Panerai’s roots of 1956 watches, when it was first inscribed on the Egiziano model.
