The absolute purity of
Panerai’s design
achieves an unprecedented and exclusive expression in the new gold
pocket watches, two extremely elegant
Special Editions of only
50 units
each: the
Pocket Watch 3 Days Oro Rosso (
PAM00447) and the
Pocket Watch 3 Days Oro Bianco (
PAM00529).

The pocket watch is one of the most elegant and sophisticated
masculine accessories, thanks to its association with the not-so-distant
past when a gentleman would never have thought of wearing his timepiece
on his wrist: until the early years of the century wristwatches were
largely seen as a lady’s accessory. It was only during the First World
War that the wearing of wristwatches began to spread among men,
gradually transforming the pocket watch as an everyday item into an
exclusive rarity, reserved for connoisseurs and collectors. In the first
decades of the 20th century,
Panerai’s Orologeria in Florence was a
popular destination for anyone looking for a pocket watch, as is
expressed by the inscription “
Orologi da tasca delle principali marche
svizzere” (“Pocket watches of the main Swiss brands”) on the window
facing the Baptistery in Piazza San Giovanni. The new
Pocket Watch 3
Days models are renewing this tradition, and enhancing it with the high
quality watchmaking content of the
Panerai manufacture in Neuchâtel.

The case of the new
Panerai pocket watches has the simple, perfect
cushion shape of the Radiomir, the first prototypes of which date from
1936. Available in red gold and white gold, the polished case 50 mm in
diameter has a single gold bow surrounding the winding crown at 12
o’clock, instead of the classic wire strap attachments. The dial of the
watch is in the classic
Panerai style, with large baton hour markers and
numerals at the cardinal points, and it has the sun-brushed finish
which endows both versions – anthracite for the white gold model and
brown for the red gold – with a sophisticated appearance of great depth.

The new pocket watches reproduce the construction which has been
typical of
Panerai dials since the
1930s: two superimposed discs enclose
a layer of ecru Super-LumiNova®, which shines with exceptional
brightness through the apertures in the upper disc corresponding to the
hour markers. This structure ensures remarkable legibility even under
conditions of very poor light.

As is often the case with precious objects of understated elegance,
it is the back of the watch that hides the most fascinating surprise for
enthusiasts of high quality watchmaking. The large round cover
concealing the movement can easily be opened in order to admire the
finish of the
P.3001/10 calibre, completely developed and made in the
Officine Panerai manufacture at Neuchâtel.

Hand-wound with a power
reserve of three days and power reserve indication set in the back, the
P.3001 calibre is presented for the first time in a new version, with
the bridges and the two barrels skeletonised and with chamfered polished
angles. The skeletonising enables the finish and sophistication of the
details of the movement to be observed, such as the wheelwork and the
gilded engraving. It also reveals the operation of the calibre, for
example, the unwinding and winding of the springs in the barrels as the
watch is running or while it is being wound. A fascinating spectacle
which is protected and concealed from view by means of the polished
cover, the outside of which can be personalised with engraving.

Also completely original and with every detail designed by
Officine
Panerai is the watch chain 40 cm long, the design of which is inspired
by nautical chains. Like the case, it is made entirely in red gold or
white gold, terminated by two hooks of the same material which engage
easily and securely.

Consistent with the history of the brand, every
Panerai watch has a
high degree of water-resistance and the two new models, the
Pocket Watch
3 Days Oro Bianco and the
Pocket Watch 3 Days Oro Rosso, are no
exception, being guaranteed to resist a pressure of five atmospheres
(equivalent to a depth of about 50 metres). The exquisite mahogany box
specially made to contain the watch also includes a special stand on
which the watch can be placed when it is not being worn, turning it into
a unique table clock.
