While many iterations have been made through the years, this timepiece is crafted with the 1935 Panerai Radiomir Officine prototype in mind. Attired in a 45mm polished steel case, the reference inherits many of the original’s iconic characteristics, from the cone-shaped crown to its sandwich dial and cushion-shaped watch case.
The dial stars a matte brown color and hollowed-out indices, where only the numbers 12, 3, and 6 are incorporated as Arabic numerals. While the Super-Luminova coating arrives in a beige hue to match the monotone color scheme, it lights up to bright green for improved legibility in dark surroundings.
Geared to run continuously for up to 3 days, the time-teller is operated by Panerai’s in-house hand-wound and mechanical P.6000 caliber. Completing the timepiece is a complementing Scamosciato calf leather strap in dark brown, which is finished with beige topstitching.
Released as a 300-piece limited-edition, the new Panerai Radiomir Officine PAM01385 is currently only available via Panerai’s online boutique.
In case you missed it, this year’s Only Watch auction is officially postponed until 2024.
