About the Panerai Radiomir Collection
The Panerai Radiomir collection is widely touted to have the richest history amongst all Panerai watch collections. Made in collaboration with the Italian Royal Navy's Lieutenant Commander Carlo Ronconi, the Panerai Radiomir was documented in a patent filed in 1916. It wasn't until 1936 that the first Radiomir was born. The Panerai Radiomir watch collection debuted as a remarkable innovation in the world of horology. It featured a highly luminescent dial, achieved through the use of radium-based paint. The extraordinary luminescence of Radiomir broke new ground, ushering in a new phase of clarity and practicality in timekeeping. This pioneering technique provided the dial with a distinctive glow, ensuring exceptional visibility in low-light environments. Today, the Radiomir collection sits at the fore of Panerai's portfolio and holds a special place in the hearts of Paneristas with its iconic cushion-shaped cases and exceptional practicality.
Design And Features
The styling of the case carries an authentic vintage aura with its curved and rounded appearance. Unlike the Luminor models that sport a patented crown-protecting device, the Panerai Radiomir watches contain wire lugs, a unique design that connects the straps to the case. With hand-wound or automatic mechanical movements topped with an anti-reflective, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the Panerai Radiomir collection is available in various dial sizes ranging from 42mm to 48mm.
Iterations
The current lineup of watches in the Radiomir collection surpasses in terms of power reserves, with the Tre Giorni version boasting a three-day reserve and the Otto Giorni stands tall with eight-day running autonomy. Panerai, known for their big case sizes, reduced the usual 45mm to 40mm and named the versions, Quaranta. These iterations are even further rendered in opulent materials and come with more complications like GMT, minute repeater, and more.

The PAM00183 Radiomir Black Seal, like other Panerai watches, is deeply entrenched in the history of the Italian Royal Navy. In the 1930’s, the Gamma group, specialists in the Italian Navy carried out maneuvers mounted on human torpedoes, also known as “black seals”. Deriving its name from that time, this watch, particularly commemorates that 1940’s style with a more contemporary steely look. The watch face makes use of an interesting dial setup, where two plates, a black upper plate with bored numerals and hour markers, and a lower plate with a thin coat of the Trademarked LumiNova form an extremely legible design, allowing the dial to be read even in poorly lit conditions. The Arabic numerals at 3, 6 and 12 o'clock, and a small seconds at 9 o'clock lend to its distinct look. The in-house OP XI caliber is housed in a 45m AISI 316L polished steel case with wire loop strap attachments and a beautiful conical crown.
