In the 1930s and 1940s, Panerai produced watches and equipment for the Italian Navy, specifically for a specialised group of divers known as the 'Gruppo Gamma', also referred to as Black Seal frogmen. These skilled divers carried out secret underwater missions, often at night, to perform crucial tasks for their country. Featuring a 45mm AISI 316L polished stainless steel cushion case that comfortably sits on your wrist, complete with wire lugs for that vintage aesthetic. Panerai employs high-polished stainless steel for this reference, contrasting nicely with the dark military heritage of the design. Its curved flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 50mm, and a case thickness of 12.5mm gives the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side, there is a signed screw-down crown. A bevelled, polished stainless steel bezel holds the domed sapphire crystal above the sandwich dial, composed of a Luminova lower plate and a matte black upper plate. The stencil Arabic numerals and baton hour markers allow the Luminova to show through. The black PVD-coated hands are filled with the same Luminova. At 9 o’clock, a stencil subdial with a white lume-filled hand. At 12 o'clock, the text Radiomir Black Seal, and at 6 o’clock, Panerai complete this historic, military-infused timepiece. On the reverse, a screw-down sapphire exhibition case back showcases the beautifully finished, manually wound Panerai Cal. OP XI, 17 jewels, beating at 21,600 beats per hour. Based on the ETA\/Unitas 6497\/2, this calibre has been enhanced by Panerai with a swan-neck regulator, bridges decorated with Côtes de Genève striping, and an increased power reserve of 56 hours. The watch comes paired with six 26mm aftermarket straps featuring a signed polished stainless steel tang buckle, and the watch is accompanied by its Panerai presentation box, swing tags, and official paperwork.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Panerai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57838019936636,"sku":"PAM00183","price":3495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/0771\/3366\/files\/1_5e6da9e1-2bdc-4496-ae0f-4c8ea90c28e7.jpg?v=1792752039","url":"https:\/\/kibblewatches.co.uk\/products\/2008-panerai-radiomir-black-seal-manually-wound-45mm-pam00183","provider":"KibbleWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
