RADIOMIR 10 DAYS GMT PLATINO - 45mm

RADIOMIR 10 DAYS GMT ORO BIANCO 45mm

RADIOMIR 10 DAYS GMT ORO ROSSO 45mm

Officine Panerai presents three very elegant Special Editions, three new Radiomir 10 Days GMT watches which combine the exclusivity of platinum, of white gold and of red gold with the technical performance and sophisticated finish of the P.2003 manufacture movement, which has automatic winding and an unusually long power reserve of ten days.

The classic aesthetic of the Radiomir closely follows the design of the watch which Panerai made for the first time in 1936 for the specialist underwater forces of the Royal Italian Navy. It is enhanced by the precious metal of which the cases are made and by a dial with an updated design of great simplicity, enhanced by small Arabic numerals applied next to the hour markers. On the sandwich-structure dial are the date window, the linear indicator displaying the remaining power reserve and the small seconds dial positioned at nine oclock, which also contains a further hand for am/pm indication. At the centre are the hour and minute hands and the hand for the second time zone, an invaluable function for travellers.

The fineness of the finish of the P.2003 movement, entirely created in the Officine Panerai manufacture at Neuchâtel, can be appreciated through the sapphire crystal window in the centre of the back. Through it can be seen the brand name and the logo which appear on the oscillating weight in relief rather than engraved as well as on the back itself. The P.2003 calibre is 13¾ lignes in diameter and it consists of 296 components, with 25 jewels. It has all the technical characteristics which make up the DNA of the P.2000 calibre series (variable inertia balance, free-sprung balance spring, 28,800 vibrations per hour, three spring barrels, GMT function with 24-hour indication, rapid setting to local time, date, balance stop-seconds mechanism, seconds reset) but it differs in having automatic winding and a power reserve of ten days, operated by an oscillating weight mounted on ball bearings, which winds the spring barrels as it rotates in both directions.

The three versions of the Radiomir 10 Days GMT are water-resistant to about 5 atmospheres (50 metres) and they are supplied with an alligator strap, the colour of which, like that of the dial, varies according to the metal of the case; the Radiomir 10 Days GMT Platino (PAM00495) has a black dial and a brown strap which harmonises with the ecru colour of the Super-LumiNova®; the Radiomir 10 Days GMT Oro Bianco (PAM00496) has a black dial and a black strap; the Radiomir 10 Days GMT Oro Rosso (PAM00497) has a brown dial with ecru Super-LumiNova® and a dark brown strap.
