Connoisseurs of the finest in the German art of watchmaking know just how layered and profound the magic of an exquisite timekeeper can be.

A sophisticated, 42 mm white gold case frames the galvanic, skeletonized dial revealing the manual wind 49-13 movement. The latter's complex mechanics set the rhythm of the blued hour, minute and small second hands; they also drive the moon phase display, positioned at 10 o'clock, whose finely worked skies are crafted in the watchmaker's own dial manufactory in Pforzheim, Germany. A separate display at 2 o'clock, marked with the words "auf" (up) and "ab" (down), is dedicated to the 40-hour power reserve. A dark blue Louisiana Alligator leather bracelet with foldover clasp underscores the elegance of the filigreed skeletonized timepiece.

Sensual contrasts: Lady Serenade in red gold and black

Warm, shimmering red gold, sparkling diamonds and a deep black cloak – this Lady Serenade combines a refined sensuality and mode of expression with stylish elegance. With its characteristic touch of timeless-classic and fashionable accents, it is a loyal companion on the wrist, cutting as fine a figure in everyday life as it does on festive occasions.

Finely polished and satin-brushed red gold lends a warm glow to the 36 mm case, enhanced by a bezel set with 52 brillant-cut diamonds (1.09 ct). A diamond cabochon transforms jewellery of the crown, which is also very easy to use. Red gold hour, minute and second hands are set off nicely, as is the date window at 6 o'clock, by a galvanic black dial with sunburst finish. Its velvet hue is taken up by a black Louisiana Alligator leather bracelet with red gold foldover clasp. Inside the watch beats the 39-22 automatic movement, featuring a 40 hour power reserve and second stop mechanism. The beauty of its refined decorations is revealed through a sapphire crystal case back.

Excellent times for watch connoisseurs: the new Senator Excellence models

Launched in 2016, the Senator Excellence models make a gift of time in concrete terms: thanks to a power reserve of more than 100 hours, the owner can enjoy, in theory, a watch-free holiday, without having to set the time anew on the 27th of December. This excellent timekeeper is, after all, a multi-talented piece of work. Like the classic three-hand model, the Senator Excellence Panorama Date and the Senator Excellence Panorama Date Moon Phase set new standards in terms of running time, precision, stability and aesthetics, enhanced by a promise of assured quality.

The two timepieces in elegant, 40 mm red gold or stainless steel cases present new versions of two characteristic complications from Glashütte Original. Serving as a basis for their development was the manufactory's Calibre 36, designed with the demands of everyday life in mind.

PANERAI – Radiomir 3 Days PAM685 and PAM687 Editions

















OFFICINE PANERAIPAM685 and PAM687Radiomir 3 Days Acciaio – 47mm Special Editions NEW


Pre-SIHH 2017

The new Radiomir 3 Days collection tributes to the brand’s late 1930s’ models with the unique screw type 12-sided bezel design.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...             BIG FOTO




























In the late 1930s, Panerai made a number of Radiomir watches with a special 12-sided bezel, engraved with the words "OFFICINE PANERAI BREVETTATO". This inscription referred to the patented luminous substance Radiomir used on the dial, and it suggests that the watches were used not for military operations but for presenting to the authorities of the Royal Italian Navy, which was evaluating new instruments for underwater missions. The new Radiomir 3 Days Acciaio models are two Special Editions from the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel, limited to 1000 pieces only per model, which for the first time reproduce all the fundamental characteristics of these vintage watches, respecting their identity and giving collectors the opportunity to appreciate a fascinating chapter in the Panerai story.

The first vintage detail of the new Radiomir 3 Days Acciaio watches is the 12-sided bezel in brushed steel, with smoothed, polished angles and the same engraving as the historic models, using the lettering of the time. The bezel is screwed onto the classic cushion caseband of the Radiomir and, together with the screwed back forming the rear part of the case, like the historic watches it has an elegant symmetrical construction divided into three parts, clearly visible when looking at the case in profile.

The case is made of stainless steel (AISI 316L) and it is the same classic size as that of vintage Panerai watches, 47mm in diameter. The wire loop strap attachments are removable, making it easy to replace the tough strap of untreated brown leather, finished with ecru sewing and closed by a large buckle with a single prong.

Another fascinating element inspired by the historic models is the dial. Remarkably simple and minimalist, with the sandwich structure which maximises the legibility of the large figures and markers, the dial is available in black (PAM00685), the colour of the vintage model, or in shaded brown (PAM00687), a completely new colour in the Panerai collections, which evokes the lightening effect which the Radiomir, the luminous substance based on radium, had on the original black dials.

On the back of the case, a large porthole with its sapphire window reveals the P.3000 hand-wound mechanical movement, completely created in the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel. The calibre measures 16½ lignes a size typical of the period models and it has large, brushed finish bridges covering the greater part of the wheelwork, a large balance wheel 13.2 mm in diameter and two spring barrels, which provide a power reserve of three days.

The P.3000 movement also has the device for quickly changing the time, enabling the hour hand to be moved backwards or forwards in jumps of one hour, without interfering with the movement of the minute hand or the running of the watch.

Both the new Radiomir 3 Days Acciaio models are water resistant to 30 meters. Inside the elegant wooden box in which the watch is presented is a second Plexiglas® crystal, the certificate personalised with the serial number of the Edition, and a rare publication describing the military equipment of the special forces of the Royal Italian Navy, in which Panerai watches and instruments appear.
