A Sea of Time ASIA JEWELLERS Panerai is reputed for its pure Italian aesthetic that is loyal to the peninsula’s traditions and is unchanged by time. Pioneering the watch-making industry since the 19th century, it went from a supplier of precision instruments to the Italian navy in the 1900s to an international brand in the 21st century. In the Historic Collection, Italian style and the origins of the brand are combined with hand-wound in-house movements and mechanics. The Radiomir 1940 in steel comes in a case that is 42mm in diameter with the P.999 hand-wound movement, the smallest and thinnest in the wide range of calibres produced by the brand. The calibre, visible through the sapphire crystal window set in the back, has a power reserve of 60 hours and a balance which oscillates at 21,600 vibrations per hour. The watch is finished with a black alligator strap while its counterpart, the Radiomir 1940 Oro Rosso, comes in a brown alligator strap. E Call 17 535-344.
