Panerai Radiomir Watches
Despite the Luminor collection enjoying more of the limelight, the Radiomir was actually the first series of Panerai watches. Engaging the famous Radiomir luminous substance and sandwich dials, a more reserved cushion shaped case began the Panerai story. The Panerai Radiomir collection has a vintage feel reminiscent of early Panerai design, with a modern construction that is suited to the contemporary watch enthusiast. As an official retailer of Panerai watches, New Cavendish Jewellers can help you find your next luxury timepiece.
About the Panerai Radiomir Collection
In 1935, the Italian Navy commissioned a series of watches to be worn by the frogman commandos of the First Submarine Group Command, which had to be water resistant to harsh conditions and legible even within the darkest depths of the ocean. This watch was named the ‘Radiomir’, a name derived from the patented radium-based powder Panerai had developed for luminosity. This substance was abandoned in 1949 once its harmful properties had been realised, and in 1998 Panerai unveiled the modern Radiomir watch as an ode to its history, replacing the original Radiomir substance with Super-LumiNova; a luminous substance that absorbs light when exposed to it. The Radiomir range is still just as remisncent of the classic Panerai design, but modern innovative features that make it the perfect addition to any watch collection.
Key Features of the Radiomir
The Radiomir series now offers a 40mm case size, so if you prefer your watches to be on the smaller side but crave the Panerai sihouette, there are options within this collection for you to choose from. This collection allows for precision and reliability, effortlessly fusing style with functionality. The Radiomir implements a clean and simple dial layout, using Arabic numerals at the 12 and 6 o’clock positions, with stick indices located at the other hours. Panerai’s signature sandwich dial is seen in the Radiomir collection, enhancing the readability of the watch’s luminous markers in darker lighting conditions. The stainless steel casing and elegant leather straps seen in these watches combine the premium Panerai construction with sophistication, making the Radiomir a versatile watch for various occasions.
Why Choose a Panerai Radiomir?
The Radiomir enjoys a genuine military orientated past, battle tested and design led. Despite the myriad of modern watches with retro feel, not many other collections carry the gravitas of Panerai – the movements are state of the art while the design cues are immediately recognisable without causing a fuss; the perfect accompaniment for the modern enthusiast.
