Panerai presents two new special editions with a completely new dial, inspired by one of the pendulum clocks that customers could admire in the historic Florentine workshop in Piazza San Giovanni in the last century. Even before the first models were created for the Royal Italian Navy, in fact, the Panerai workshop sold pocket watches, wristwatches, table clocks and grandfather clocks from the finest manufacturers, and the assortment of the latter was on display on the first floor of the shop which still stands opposite the Baptistery of Florence.
The dial of one of these pendulum clocks is the inspiration for a new creation with a vintage character: the Radiomir 1940 3 Days Steel - 47mm. Available in ivory (PAM00791) or black (PAM00790), it is distinguished by the simplicity and retro elegance of the dial, with its large Arabic numeral hour markers printed in a distinctive art deco font between the chemin de fer minute circle and a ring further inland. Even the hour and minute hands, tapered and lance-shaped, have a design completely new to Panerai.
The movement is the IWC-manufactured P.3000 calibre, hand-wound with a three-day power reserve, thanks to the use of two barrels.
