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.

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.
