Origin of the legend

Radiomir

Developed for special diving units of the Italian Navy at the beginning of the Second World War, the Radiomir is the cornerstone of Panerai's success. The luminous material Radium, which was used for the first time, enabled reading even during night dives and served as the namesake of this model.

Panerai

Panerai

Originally a specialist dealer and watchmaker for Swiss wristwatches in Florence, Panerai began to develop watches for the Italian navy and diving units at the beginning of the 20th century. This watch had the shape and movement of the Rolex Oyster, but a much larger case and dial to improve readability in use. Furthermore, Panerai patented the first luminous material for dials based on the radioactive material radium. Panerai called this luminous material Radiomir.

In the right time

The return of the 80s

Everything comes back. At some point. Even my grandmother knew that and the more mature you become, the more you realise: damn, it really is like that. When Rolex presented the GMT-Master II as a yellow gold and bicolour version on a Jubilé bracelet last year, I immediately felt something like my own personal Werthers Echte moment. Only not with gold-wrapped caramel sweets, but with the watches I knew from my childhood. And so I still remember, as if it were yesterday, the picture of TV legend Horst Tappert smiling at me from the cover of a TV magazine with a gold GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.

How deep is deep?

When I started wearing watches at a young age, everything was quite simple for me. If the words “Water Resistant” were written on the back cover, you had to be careful. On the other hand, if it said “30M”, everything was fine. Off to the beach with it and have fun. I wore those watches in the sea for years without a care in the world - for swimming, showering and bathing anyway.
