Here we have a 2022 Panerai 1940 Radiomir 3 Days 45mm Titanium PAM00619. The Radiomir was the first watch model created by Officine Panerai, drawing inspiration from their creations of the 1940s. The characteristic 45mm cushion case is made of Titanium, sitting comfortably on your wrist with thick, rounded drilled lugs. The lug-to-lug length of 52mm and a case thickness of 11.5mm give the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side is a signed crown with deep knurling to help with the grip. The smooth, polished bezel features a slightly domed sapphire crystal above a tobacco-brown sandwich dial, with large cut-out Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9, accompanied by batons in between that mark the hours, which are visible through the lume underneath. The long black fence hands are filled with lume. At 9 o’clock, a cut-out seconds sub dial. Text is precisely applied with the Radiamir Panerai at 12 o’clock and ‘Automatic’ at 6 o’clock. On the reverse, a screw-down exhibition case back with deep engraving around its edge. On the inside is an automatic Panerai Cal.

In 1860, Giovanni Panerai opened his watchmaker's shop in Florence; it was not only a shop and workshop but also served as the city's first watchmaking school. Officine Panerai was born. The shop later moved to its current location in the Palazzo Arcivescovile in Piazza San Giovanni, Italy, changing its name to "Orologeria Svizzera" at the beginning of the twentieth century. In 1916, stemming from Marie and Pierre Curie’s 1898 discovery, to meet the military needs of the Royal Italian Navy, Officine Panerai created Radiomir, a radium-based powder that gives luminosity to the dials of sighting instruments. Reference to the name "Radiomir" is documented in the patent filed in France on 23 March 1916. The substance's properties are perfect for military applications, with high visibility and the paint's excellent underwater adhesive qualities. In 1936, Panerai created the first prototypes of the model now known as "Radiomir" for the frogman commandos of the First Submarine Group Command of the Royal Italian Navy. The Navy's historical archives record that just ten prototypes were produced in 1936. It was during this time that a very unusual relationship between Rolex and Panerai was forged with the production of the Ref: 2533. The design comes from a 47mm Rolex Oyster pocket watch. That was turned on its side so that the crown would be now located at 3 o’clock. In 1949, Panerai introduced a new luminescent substance called Luminor that was not only safer than radium-based Radiomir but also much more luminous. In 1955, Panerai launched the Luminor, a watch created for the Royal Italian Navy with its characteristic crown guard, designed in the 1950s, invented by brother and sister Giuseppe and Maria Giuseppe Panerai. It wasn’t until 1993 that Panerai finally released the Luminor and Luminor Marina to the public. Today, Officine Panerai is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Richemont S.A Group that includes Cartier, IWC, Montblanc, and Vacheron Constantin.
