Panerai Luminor and Radiomir- perpetual theme

Ten years ago, Panerai was first presented in SIHH, at that time, it only gave people an impression of an Italy brand which focused on watches for navies.
But today, Panerai has become a very famous brand who owns four self-produced movements and a series of professional submariner watches and chornographs.

This year, Panerai lauches another seven styles-Luminor GMT 44mm, Luminor Marina Automatic, Lumninor 1950 Tourbillon GMT 47mm titanium gold, Luninor Regatta Chronograph 44mm, Lumninor Chornograph 40mm, Lumninor 1950 Chrono Monopulsante titanium gold and Radiomir 47mm titanium gold.

Liminor GMT 44mm two time zones chronograph

The second time zone, COSC verification, high class water resistance, brushed and polished case, special crown, all of these are the most obvious characteristics of Luminor GMT 44mm two time zones chronograph. Apart from changing the diameter from 47mm to 44mm out of considering the practical function, the case of new Luminor basically copies the last generation. The case and bracelet both use brushed and polished technology, which has a good comparison effect and is beautiful.

Radiomir 47mm titanium gold watch


In the new Radiomir 47mm titanium gold watches of Special Editions Collection, a lot of elements related to watch research for Italian Navy at the end of 1930s can be discovered. The diameter of the case is 47mm cushion shaped design, water resistant to 100m, which have fully kept the aesthetics and size of the several previous generations of Radiomir. This style still uses flat face apex crown to wind the watch and adjust the hands. This rotary crown has the history sign of Panerai factory carved on it. In addition, the dial still uses a lot of interesting details of the previous Radiomir styles. The first detail is the small second dial at 9 o’clock position, quite similar with the 8-day watch produced at the beginning of 1940s, the second detail is the arrow circle which is around the markers, which simulates the helical line first used to fix the dial.
Radiomir 47mm titanium gold has two styles, one is with brown dial and the other is with black dial, not only the dial colors are different, but also the limited amount, the former one is limited to 50 pieces, and the latter one is limited to 100 pieces and each of them have independent serial no..
