In 1993, the Seiko Landmaster series was born in Japan. Throughout its three-decade history, the series has earned the trust and met the needs of adventurers and mountaineers with repeated improvements to its specifications. In commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the series, Seiko presents a new Prospex creation whose design is the high reliability of successive generations of Landmasters and the design of the most representative models.

The compass ring and rotating bezel, hallmarks of the Landmaster series, have been given a three-dimensional shape for ease of operation and legibility. Powering the new Landmaster is the in-house caliber 8L35, created to withstand harsh environments. This highly accurate movement was assembled and adjusted by the skilled craftsmen and women of Shizukuishi.

It is assembled by hand at Shizukuishi Watch Studio in Morioka. Its accuracy is rated a +15 to -10 seconds per day.

The blue gradation dial represents the view from the top of the Mount Everest. It’s said that at high altitudes in the mountains, where the air is thin and there is no diffuse reflection, the sky appears dark even during the daytime.

The dial’s color expresses the way the sky gradually shifts to dark blue as the climber ascends step by step, as if the universe can be glimpsed through the sky.

The case back bears the words “Limited Edition” and carries the individual watch's serial number.

Panerai celebrates the anniversary of the Radiomir prototype with a limited-edition that goes back to its roots

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

For over a century, the Panerai family legacy has been intertwined with precision instruments made to accompany the Italian military in their exploits.

Commissioned by the Royal Italian Navy to supply high-precision instruments, it was Guido Panerai’s Radiomir - a radium- based substance that illuminates for visibility in the dark – that began it all when it was patented in 1916.

An archival receipt shows that the Radiomir prototype was presented in 1935, and over the years, the sandwich construction has been progressively adjusted and is currently made of only two superimposed plates. Other improvements include the crown-protecting device, and a new luminous substance, the Luminor. A watch produced strictly for the military, the forces used it until the early 1970s, with its designs protected by military secrets.

The historical Radiomir models PAM00753 and PAM00754 have been redesign with a new vision and pure aesthetic, making it coherent with new Radiomir codes.

The Radiomir Officine PAM01385 pays tribute to many of the iconic elements of the 1935 Radiomir prototype while incorporating contemporary technical expertise to exude a universal appeal to watch lovers.

Set in a polished steel 45mm case with the iconic cone-shaped crown, this watch features a brown dial with indexes and numerals only at twelve and six o’clock while the beige Super-Luminova® illuminates in green in the dark. Matched with a dark brown leather strap, the timepiece’s shade highlights the brown dial, a matte color style that features for the first time within the collection. The dial has been refined keeping only the new Radiomir signature: “RADIOMIR PANERAI”, without the collection’s typical OP logo.

Distinctive Italian design & Historic association: the reference features a new matte taupe dial, giving a strong contrast with the other references and is an E-commerce exclusivity available only on panerai.com

The dial construction is hollowed like on the Luminor Manuali, the numerals and indexes are filled in with Super-LumiNova lighting up in green in the darkness. Hands have been uniformed to the other Radiomir families to pay homage to the historical shapes.

True to the Radiomir heritage inside and out, the Radiomir PAM01385 has a hand-wound movement like its ancestors. Integrated in a case waterproof to 10 bars (approximately 100 meters), this caliber with a 3-day power reserve was designed and developed at the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel.

Resilient and stable thanks to the presence of a bridge with dual supports, Caliber P.6000 is equipped with a device that stops the balance wheel when the crown is pulled out and features a three-day power reserve provided by a single barrel.

All these characteristics are summarized in a limited edition inspired by an archival receipt dated 24 October 1935 that testifies to the birth of the first Radiomir prototype.

To commemorate the milestone, this e-commerce exclusive will be launched on 24 October 2023 in a limited 300 pieces.
