Officine Panerai Radiomir 1940
Officine Panerai Radiomir 1940: A bow to the sea
The Officine Panerai Radiomir 1940 is one of the icons among diving watches. With this extraordinary watch, the watch manufacturer Officine Panerai demonstrates its close connection with the oceans. The watch impressively demonstrates how easily the watchmakers from Florence, Italy, understand how to combine style and aesthetics with Swiss precision and high functionality.
Tradition and future
The Officine Panerai Radiomir 1940 has its name for a reason. Its case has an impressive diameter of 47 millimeters. The diving watch from 1940 that served as the model's inspiration was just as large. However, the new Officine Panerai Radiomir 1940 does not continue the tradition without its own interpretation of its inspiration. One of the most notable differences from the other Radiomir models is the shape of the case. Or, to be more precise, the shape of the horns.
In the other Radiomir model variants, the horns are soldered on. In the Radiomir 1940, they are an integral part of the case. This is also the case with the original watch from the 1940s. The dial is typical of the functional watch from Panerai. It impresses with its exceptional clarity. Another characteristic feature of the diver's watch is the small second hand. It is located at 9 o'clock.
Highest functionality
Like all diving watches from the traditional Italian manufacturer, the Officine Panerai Radiomir 1940 impresses with its excellent legibility of the time. The timepiece performs excellently even in poor visibility conditions. In addition to the large numerals, this is thanks to the patented Radiomir luminescent material.
The first models in the collection appeared in 2012. They quickly became modern and sought-after classics. Panerai has expanded the collection to include further models. These now include models with smaller cases. Otherwise, the model collection offers a selection of cases made of white gold and red gold, stainless steel and ceramic. A few models have been made as chronographs. They use a mechanical movement with a hand-wound mechanism. It comes entirely from the Panerai factory.
