Radiomir Quaranta Steel, a contemporary spirit of the original
Bringing a casual touch to the Radiomir Quaranta collection is the Steel collection, where universality reigns for modern-day watch lovers. The distinctive timepieces mark Panerai’s debut as an official partner of the 2023 Salone del Mobile, where the Maison will be present within the globally renowned design institution’s week-long fair with a special installation.
A faithful homage to where it all began, Radiomir Quaranta, is the contemporary interpretation of the Maison’s first-ever watch bringing the look of the legendary navy divers of the 1940s to discerning watch lovers of the modern century. Pared down yet commanding in presence, Radiomir Quaranta features elements distinctly linked to its origins, appealing to connoisseurs who identify with the brand’s history and expertise. Iconic details and precision are reinvented in a collection expressing the discreet Italian elegance of the Maison’s roots, where culture meets its esteemed technical instrument-making expertise.
The new Radiomir Quaranta Steel collection is available in four versions, a white dial with beige Super-LumiNova® and brown strap (PAM01292), a blue dial with white Super LumiNova® and dark blue strap (PAM01293), a dark anthracite dial with beige Super-LuminNova® and black strap (PAM01294). And for the first time ever, Panerai pairs the exquisite sun-brushed green dial with a polished steel case in a dashingly sophisticated reference. Matched with an alligator brown bracelet, PAM 01386 is an e-commerce exclusive.
Reflecting the signature details of the Radiomir Quaranta collection, the Steel timepieces feature a sun-brushed sandwich dial with indexes and numerals only at twelve and six o’clock that reflects light rays with the wearer’s movement, while the Super-Luminova® illuminates in green in the dark. The straps of the watches are also interchangeable with selections from Panerai’s wide range in various colors.
Quaranta, forty in Italian, stands for the 40mm case size that defines the collection’s essence - a contemporary adaptation of the 47mm size of the original Radiomir edition made some eight decades ago. Measuring 10.15mm in thickness, the watch’s case is the slimmest in the entire Panerai’s range, proposing a versatile silhouette for all genders and occasions. The cone-shaped crown - a distinguishing element of the Radiomir collection - paired with its semi-matte alligator strap exudes understated and relaxed luxury to match modern lifestyles.
Technical details include the P.900 caliber a 4.2mm thick next-generation automatic movement, the first of its size from Panerai to combine the date and three days of power reserve, and water-resistance to 5 bar (~50 metres).
Resplendent in all their golden glory, the Radiomir Quaranta precious collection
Along with the steel references, Panerai will also present the Radiomir Quaranta GoldTech™ and Radiomir Quaranta in yellow gold as part of the precious collection during Milan Design Week.
The Radiomir Quaranta Goldtech™ is set in a polished Goldtech™ case (PAM01026), matched with a white sun-brushed dial and a matt brown alligator strap. Panerai Goldtech™ is a gold material developed for the first time by Panerai, including a combination of platinum and copper that gives the material an intense red appearance.
A boutique exclusive available only in 500 pieces per year, PAM01437 is set in a yellow gold case, a well-loved classic of the brand, and is matched with a sun-brushed green dial, an ode to Panerai’s signature green colour, with white Super-LuminNova® and matt black alligator strap.
Like the steel collection, the precious collection features the iconic cushion-shaped case, interchangeable straps from Panerai’s extensive range of colors, and finishes, including calf for a casual look and shiny alligator versions in a multitude of bright shades for women.
