A thousand shades of the blue sea sounds like 999 shades too many, but this is the latest from Panerai’s Radiomir 1940 3 Days collection.
The standout feature you need to know about for this release?
A striking new dial design across the models which features a tonal blue that is tinged darker on the outer section and gradually lighter towards the centre. This aesthetic appointment created by Panerai’s ‘satiné soleil’ workmanship not only makes for an elegant timepiece but also ensures that legibility isn’t compromised with the brighter numeral markings.
Five models will come under the new collection with a variation of sizes, case material and functions. The Radiomir 1940’s signature cushion case remains across all five models as well as a blue alligator strap with contrasting beige sewing. There’s also the option of a spare blue rubber strap across all models, or a blue fabric one for the 42 mm model.
These are the key features of each timepiece.
