Panerai 47mm Special Edition Radiomir Titanium (PAM349)



Created in an edition of only 12 pieces, the new Radiomir is intended for collectors, lovers of exclusivity and history enthusiasts. The black background of the display highlights the three indexes and highly luminescent gold hands (hours, minutes and small seconds). The display, with a knurled ring around it in rose gold, is protected by a sapphire crystal that is 1.9 mm thick.

The "cushion" case with 47 mm diameter, has a narrow rim in polished titanium. In contrast to the historical models, the lugs are not welded, but are removable, thanks to the patented Officine Panerai pusher that facilitates the replacement of the bracelet. The crown is threaded in a conical shape and helps ensure water resistance of up to 10 atm (100 meters).

The case is of titanium - a lighter metal that is also hypoallergenic and resistant to corrosion; different than the steel of the historical models, and home to a rather unique in-house movement: the hand-wound caliber OP XXVII, developed on a Minerva base, with a power reserve of 55 hours. The movement can be observed from behind the transparent sapphire crystal caseback.
