Completes the itinerary a classic cruise aboard Panerai’s Bermudian ketch Eilean, recalling the golden age of maritime exploration on Sicily’s storied waters. Each element of the experience is designed to celebrate Sicily’s rich culture and history, offering a profound connection to Panerai’s Italian roots and heritage.

Access to this Experience is available by purchasing the new Radiomir 8 Giorni Eilean Experience Edition PAM01643. Limited to just 30 pieces, the timepiece is crafted from recovered bronze from Eilean itself. During the yacht’s extensive restoration, parts of its original structure were salvaged, including sections of bronze fittings, which were then incorporated into the watch. The original Eilean bronze underwent a long and meticulous process of successive castings to clean it, and then it was carefully blended with new bronze to create the bezel, crown and medallion on the case back of this limited edition timepiece.

The Panerai Bronzo is composed of copper with 8% tin, making it versatile with high structural strength. The steel case, measuring 45mm, complements the bronze elements with a rugged, burnished finish called Brunito. Through an intricate process, the steel undergoes a PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) treatment followed by hand-brushing to enhance the vintage appeal, lending the watch a distinct appearance, making every Radiomir 8 Giorni Eilean Experience Edition an individual expression of its owner’s adventures.

Beneath the surface lies Panerai’s P.5000 hand-wound calibre, offering an impressive 8-day power reserve—an homage to Panerai’s longstanding tradition of creating functional, long-lasting instruments. The movement features a robust design with most components enclosed between two plates, leaving only the balance cock and intermediate wheel visible.

The hand-wound P.5000 calibre, a movement entirely developed and produced in the Manufacture in Neuchâtel with a long power reserve of eight days, inspired some of the historic watches created by Panerai for the frogmen of Italian Navy.

It is 15¾ lignes in diameter and 4.5mm thick, very solidly constructed and fitted with a large brush-finished plate with diamond polished chamfering; this almost completely conceals the wheel work, while revealing the balance which oscillates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. The long power reserve is achieved by two spring barrels connected in series

The large 10 mm balance wheel uses a variable inertia design with four external adjusting screws, allowing precise regulation without disassembly. Supported by a traversing bridge, this setup enhances chronometric performance and provides extra stability to maintain accuracy during shocks.

PAM01643s aesthetics perfectly reflect Panerai’s nautical heritage, merging functionality with timeless elegance. The dial, a grainy beige, recalls the sails of Eilean, evoking the feeling of wind on the open sea. The luminescent numerals and markers, characteristic of the Radiomir, are highlighted in soft tones, adding a warm, vintage touch to the face. The dark brown leather strap is hot-stamped with 1936, commemorating the yacht’s launch.

On the back of the case, a bronze medallion is intricately engraved with the word Eilean and the year of her maiden voyage, further cementing the connection between the watch and the storied vessel.

Likewise, the dragon emblem that decorates Eilean’s hull has been intricately reproduced as an engraving on the left-hand side of the case.
