Panerai has once again delved into its archives in creating the new Radiomir 3 Days Acciaio. Keen ‘Paneristi’ will recognize the 12-sided bezel as well as the “Officine Panerai – Brevettato” inscription picked up from a 1930 model. The Italian adjective brevetatto refers to the luminescent material – Radiomir – for which the Florence-based Maison had just registered a patent and that was to give its name to an entire collection. This new timepiece includes other aspects of the original model : the same letters engraved on the screw-lock bezel, the screw-in caseback, the three-part 47mm case, as well as the highly legible twohand minimalist dial. The shaded chestnut brown shade of the dial is however a first for Panerai, and vividly evokes the luminous effect that Radiomir created on the black dial of the historical model, recreated in the black-dial version of this Radiomir 3 Days Acciaio. The trimmed-down case of the Luminor Due 3 Days – measuring a mere 10.5mm thick and the slimmest ever developed by Panerai – is another first, available in steel or pink gold framing a sunburst anthracite dial further enhancing its overall elegance. The gold model is distinguished by a subtly skeletonized version of the P.1000 movement, with a large openworked bridge enabling the eye to wander through the heart of the mechanism. Women with a penchant for this refined model will probably opt for the blue strap, while men will go for the black one.
