PANERAI
PRESENTED AT DESIGN MIAMI IN DECEMBER, this Radiomir 3
Days Acciaio offers a simple dial with blue hands that will
recall the firm’s early designs. It has a 47mm steel polished
cushion case, a black dial with the classic sandwich structure,
large linear hour markers, figures between the 12,3,6 and 9
and a crystal made of Plexiglas.
Inside, the Panerai P.3000 caliber offers hand-wound
power of three days (using two spring barrels). Panerai notes
that the caliber is large to echo the size of movements used
in many historic Panerai models.
Through the large sapphire (not Plexiglas) crystal on the
back you’ll see three brush-finished bridges and a bridge
with twin supports holding the fairly large balance wheel.
Panerai’s P.3000 movement is specially made to allow the
wearer to adjust the hour hand forwards or backwards in
jumps of one hour at a time without interfering with the
movement of the minute hand or the running of the watch.
Panerai is presenting the new watch (PAM00721) in pear
wood box, and will include a second Plexiglas crystal, a
personalized certificate with the serial number of the Special
Edition and a publication about the Royal Italian Navy, which
utilized many Panerai watches and instruments.
