PANERAI BLUE DIAL - THE DEPTH OF THE SEA

"The fascination and the intensity of the blue of the sky and the sea applied to this new dial thanks to a new exclusive manufacturing process. Radiomir 1940 3 Days watches capture the innumerable evocative tones of blue by means of sophisticated satiné soleil workmanship, and thanks to the use of various shades of blue, the dial is tinged in such a way that the outer part is darker, more intense colour corresponding to the markers, which thus appear even more legible, and lighter towards the centre."

AISI 316L STAINLESS STEEL

"AISI 316L 1.4435 stainless steel is Panerai’s material par excellence since it is highly resistant to corrosion and is hypoallergenic, making it ideal for contact with the skin. The Panerai watches created for the Italian Navy were made of austenitic stainless steel, a reliable material that was also resistant to the extreme environmental conditions in which the commandos operated."

P.3000/1 CALIBRE

Entirely designed, developed and produced at the Officine Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel, the hand-wound P.3001 calibre presents the main characteristics of the Panerai movements both in terms of structure and in terms of performance, robustness and accuracy. The thickness of the P.3001 calibre is 6.3 mm and the diameter is 16½ lignes, a substantial size which traces its origins from that of the movements which were fitted to the historic Panerai models. The calibre is immediately recognisable by its construction, which is similar to that of a three-quarter plate movement: a large bridge, next to another smaller one, covers the majority of the mechanical parts, and is fixed to the bottom plate by a series of screws of substantial thickness, thus forming a particularly rigid structure. The movement has 21 jewels and it uses two spring barrels connected in series. The P.3001 has the power reserve indicator visible on the case back and may feature the date or GMT functions. The number of components varies according to the functions displayed on the dial.
