The Panerai Radiomir has a distinguished history dating back to the 1930s when Panerai supplied precision instruments to the Royal Italian Navy, including luminous underwater watches. The Radiomir, named after the radium-based luminescent material used on its dials, was specifically designed for the Navy’s frogmen and commandos.

The original Radiomir watches featured cushion-shaped cases, wire lugs, and large, legible dials for optimal visibility underwater. Over time, Panerai continued to refine the Radiomir, incorporating advancements in materials and technology while maintaining its iconic design.

In the 1990s, Panerai released civilian versions of the Radiomir, sparking a resurgence of interest in the brand among collectors and enthusiasts. Today, the Radiomir remains a cornerstone of Panerai’s line up, celebrated for its historical significance, distinctive aesthetics, and exceptional craftsmanship, making it a beloved timepiece among aficionados of military-inspired watches.
