The Radiomir range consists of the Radiomir, Radiomir Black Seal® and Radiomir 8 Days, which reproduce the design of the first Panerai watch, created in 1938 for the Royal Italian Navy.
The Radiomir was characterized by its large size and water-resistant case, the legibility of the dial underwater, its robustness in extreme conditions of use, and a reliable movement. Presented in 1997 in the Replica version, an edition limited to 60 units, the Radiomir became a rarity much sought after by collectors throughout the world for the restrained elegance of its design, with its cushion case, wire loop strap attachments and for the technical features of the mechanisms used: reliable haute horlogerie movements.
Originally welded to the case, today the strap attachments are fixed by an exclusive system of screws (patented), developed by Panerai, which makes it very easy to change the strap.
The Radiomir is available with a case 45 mm in diameter. The metals used are special AISI 316 L steel (designation indicating a steel alloy of the highest quality that is completely free of phosphorus and absolutely stainless) and 18 ct solid pink gold.
The Radiomir Black Seal® is a - time only - watch of generous size (45 mm) made from AISI 316L steel or black ceramic. This model is equipped with the calibre OP XI, a hand-wound haute horlogerie mechanical movement with a col de cygne regulation system. The Panerai Radiomir Black Seal® watch in ceramic perfectly blends the dual spirit of Panerai watches : the strong association with the past and with history combined with continual reasearch into the most advanced technical solutions. Black is a traditional colour for Panerai which in the past had already created watches with cases with PVD treatment. The result is interesting both from the technical point of view and from the purely aesthetic angle: the ceramic used is zirconium oxide and it is moulded from powder using a process of isostatic pressure (instead of being cast as is the normal practice). In this way all the positive features of this material are enhanced: its extreme hardness (up to five times greater than steel), its strong resistance to a wide range of temperatures, and the fact that when worn for long periods the watch does not become scratched, damaged or corroded. Also, ceramic formed in this way takes on a more homogenous appearance than that resulting from the traditional method of casting the material.
The Radiomir 8 Days retraces the choices made in the past by once more offering a calibre with a power reserve of 8 days, as the historical Angelus movement did in the 1940s. It was then adopted by Panerai in order to reduce the frequency of the winding operation, given that one of the main risks of leakage came at the moment when the winding crown was used. The Panerai Radiomir 8 Days is distinguished by its prestigious mechanical movement with a power reserve of eight days: the calibre OP XIV, visible through the sapphire glass porthole.
