The new Radiomir Composite
Marina Militare 8 Giorni – 47 mm introduces itself by showing the two most authentic sides of Officine
Panerai: state-ofthe-art technological innovation and a deep-rooted history.
The material used for the case is truly innovative in the field of fine watch-making: the
Panerai composite is a material whose features and performance are exceptional, being practically immutable over time. The result of an electrochemical process of ceramization of the aluminium, this material is harder than the ceramics normally used for cases in watch-making (zirconia), and also harder than metals like steel and titanium, as well as being lighter. Thanks to its qualities of ductility and reliability, the
Panerai composite allows for complex and extremely precise workings and is the result of processes that, up to now, were employed in the creation of components for the aeronautic industry and for car and motorcycle races requiring the highest levels of performance.
From the aesthetic viewpoint, the Radiomir Composite
Marina Militare 8 Giorni – 47 mm has a mono-colour look: the matt, deep brown of the 47mm Radiomir case and of the crown are in tune with the brown of the dial and strap in vintage leather. The stitching of the strap is a reminder of the ecru colour of the Super-LumiNova
on the hands and the other elements of the ‘sandwich’ dial: indexes and numerals, small-seconds dial at 9 o’clock, the words Marina Militare and
Panerai and the second dial with the inscription 8 giorni brevettato, deriving directly from the historic models.
The movement of the new Radiomir Composite
Marina Militare 8 Giorni – 47 mm is the P.2002/7 Calibre, entirely developed and built by Officine
Panerai. Hand wound and with a 13 ¾ lignes diameter, the movement is made up of 191 components and has three barrels ensuring a long power reserve of around 8 days, a traditional feature of
Panerai watches since the 1940s.
The Radiomir Composite
Marina Militare 8 Giorni– 47 mm (PAM00339) is a special edition of 1000 watches that pays homage to the historic link with the Italian Navy, to which
Panerai was a specialised supplier. This is not the first watch Officine
Panerai has dedicated to this alliance. Indeed, in the past it created special limited editions like the Luminor Marina Militare in 1998 and the
Panerai Luminor Marina Militare in 2005.
