New Radiomir Composite ® 3 Days - 47 mm and Radiomir Composite ® Black Seal 3 Days Automatic - 45 mm by Panerai

Development and application of innovative materials are one of the main objectives for the masters of fine watchmaking. The result of its decision in Officine Panerai has become the material Panerai Composite, first introduced in 2010. It is a synthetic ceramics, resulting by the electrochemical process of the aluminum into the ceramic, which has high strength and low weight. Panerai Composite is resistant to scratching and heat, thus it is very comfortable to wear, and its matte surface gives the watch an elegant sporty look.
Panerai Composite is successfully combined with the classic design of the case Radiomir came from the 30s. This exquisite combination is embodied in two new models Radiomir Composite ® 3 Days - 47 mm and Radiomir Composite ® Black Seal 3 Days Automatic - 45mm with the exclusive manufacturing mechanisms developed by Officine Panerai’s watchmakers in Neuchatel, Switzerland.
Radiomir Composite ® 3 Days - 47 mm (PAM00504) is in classic cushion case of brown Panerai Composite, which surrounds the dial of the same color. The dial is made in the classic layout of Arabic numerals and hour markers, and the structure of the case is made by the company's technology, which was invented in the 30's: between two steel plates is a layer of luminescent material, in the upper disc numbers and markers are cut. This provides excellent readability of the dial in any lighting conditions. Sophistication of the dial emphasizes a small second’s hand at the 9 o’clock position and the inscription of Radiomir Panerai.
Through the back sapphire crystal can be seen the magnificent work of the watch Radiomir Composite ® 3 Days - an exclusive hand-wound caliber P.3000. It has a three-day power reserve, which is achieved by two barrels connected in series. The mechanism is adorned with a large polished bridges with the covers by hand beveled, its shape complements the large wheel balance (13.2 mm), which varies with the frequency of 3 Hz. Calibre P.3000 is also equipped with a device enabling them to transfer to the hour hand in one hour increments without the use of the minute hand, which not violate the accuracy of the watch while the hour is changed.
Radiomir Composite ® Black Seal 3 Days Automatic - 45 mm (PAM00505) is also enclosed in a classic case from the material Radiomir Panerai Composite, brown dial, too, but it besides the small second’s hand the date window is located at the 3 o’clock position. The name Black Seal, applied on the dial, is the property of Officine Panerai and recalls the great history of the brand: the name of the Black Seal was the name of the slow-moving torpedoes delivered to the target by military divers of the Italian Navy during World War II. Just for these fighters the Panerai watches were designed.
In the heart of the Radiomir Composite ® Black Seal 3 Days Automatic is the manufacturing caliber P.9000 with a 72-hour power reserve, which is achieved through the use of two winding barrels and the rotor, rotating in two directions. The mechanism has a diameter of 13 ¾ lines and balance wheel oscillates at a frequency 4 Hz and a device of the second’s hand reset, which makes it easy to synchronize the timepiece.
Radiomir Composite ® 3 Days and Radiomir Composite ® Black Seal 3 Days Automatic are water resistant to 10 atmospheres (about 100 meters). They are available on a strap of natural untreated leather with a buckle from Panerai Composite.
