Established in 1860 in the city of Renaissance, Florence, Panerai became the official supplier of the Regia Marina, the Royal Italian Navy, under whose request Panerai created, in 1936, watch resistant to extreme underwater conditions which took the name “Radiomir”, a radium-based powder that gives luminosity to the dials of sighting instruments and devices. This example is a mix of classicism and innovation: the massive white-gold case 47 mm wide, the square rounded shape and the big lugs represent the typical Panerai feature while the dial is more complicated than the original one: it is composed by a Black dial with luminous Arabic numerals and baton indexes, subsidiary dial for the seconds and the 24-hour indication at 9, linear power reserve indication between 5 and 7, aperture for the date, independent adjustable 12 hour hand for the second time zone. The present lot, in almost NOS conditions, is offered with full set and is part of a limited series of 250 examples of which this is the number 105 as engraved on the case.
