Panerai presents the contemporary Radiomir Quaranta in Goldtech™  - Hero

The contemporary and most versatile of Radiomir interpretations, Radiomir Quaranta, now comes in Panerai Goldtech™ material, expressing the spirit of its original precision through its continuing innovative pursuits. Debuting at Watches & Wonders 2023 in Geneva, the Radiomir Quaranta Goldtech™ is set in a polished Goldtech™ case matched with a white sun-brushed dial and a matt brown alligator strap. Panerai Goldtech™ is a gold material developed for the first time by Panerai including a combination of platinum and copper donating an intense red appearance.

A faithful homage to where it all began, Radiomir Quaranta, is the contemporary interpretation of the Maison’s first-ever watch bringing the look of the legendary navy divers of the 1940s to discerning watch lovers of the modern century. Pared down yet commanding in presence, Radiomir Quaranta features elements distinctly linked to its origins, appealing to connoisseurs who identify with the brand’s history and expertise. Iconic details and precision are reinvented in a collection expressing the discreet Italian elegance of the Maison’s roots, where culture meets its esteemed technical instrument-making expertise.

Quaranta, forty in Italian, stands for the 40mm case size that defines the collection’s essence- a contemporary adaptation of the 47mm size of the original Radiomir edition made some eight decades ago. Measuring 10.15mm in thickness, the watch’s case is the slimmest in the entire Panerai’s range, proposing a versatile silhouette for all genders and occasions. Radiomir Quaranta Goldtech™ features a cone-shaped crown - a distinguishing element of the Radiomir collection - and paired with its matte alligator strap, exudes understated and relaxed luxury to match modern lifestyles.

Every detail embodies the contemporary spirit of the watch; the iconic cushion-shaped case, the white sun-brushed sandwich dial features indexes and numerals only at twelve and six o’clock and reflects light rays with the movement of the wearer, while the beige Super- Luminova® illuminates in green in the dark. The strap is interchangeable from Panerai’s extensive range of colors, and finishes, including calf for a casual look and shiny alligator versions in a multitude of bright shades for women. Available for purchase separately, the wide selections allow wearers to style the Radiomir Quaranta Goldtech™ for every mood and occasion. Technical details include the P.900 calibre, a 4.2mm thick next-generation automatic movement, the first of its size from Panerai to combine the date and three days of power reserve, water-resistance to 3 bar (~30 metres), which will soon also be available up to 5 bar (~50 metres), and a Panerai Goldtech™ buckle.

In Conversation with Alessandro Ficarelli, Chief Marketing Officer at Panerai

We are delighted to be joined by Alessandro Ficarelli, Chief Marketing Officer at Panerai to discuss this year’s new releases at Watches and Wonders. Alessandro shares what’s new from Panerai, his favourite pieces and gives us an insight into what we can expect from Panerai in the upcoming year.

Can you tell us about the new releases?

An important new release for Panerai this year is the Radiomir Quaranta. The Radiomir Quaranta has the most historic association with Panerai and it completely oozes elegance. The Radiomir Quaranta in gold is one of my favourites, with a white sun-brushed dial, gold case, 40mm diameter and just 10mm in thickness.

What is the theme this year for Panerai at Watches and Wonders?

Thanks to the launch of the Radiomir we have the opportunity to talk about the history of Panerai. This collection allows us to discuss our roots in Florence, Italy, as well as discuss the historic Radiomir case, with its beautiful crown and sandwich dial - all elements that are part of Panerai’s history since the last century.

What can we expect from Panerai in the upcoming year?

We have a lot of novelties in the year to come and we are always working on exciting things. Unfortunately, I cannot reveal what will be the main theme of next year, but we do have more novelties coming in the next month.

What timepiece are you wearing right now?

Of course, I am wearing the Panerai Radiomir as it’s the year of the Radiomir. It is a 47mm case size in bronze. We know that bronze is one of Panerai’s favourite materials and the beauty of this watch is that every piece that is created is completely unique.
