PAM 00425
The Radiomir, one of the icons of international haute horlogerie, lives
again in the new Radiomir S.L.C. 3 Days, which represents a tribute to the
history of Officine Panerai and to the watch which has constituted a
fundamental milestone in the history of professional diver’s watchmaking.
Many of the characteristics of the new Radiomir watch is directly descended
from the prototype created by Panerai in 1936 to equip the commandos of the
Royal Italian Navy: the cushion case in steel with a diameter of 47mm, the
slender wire strap attachments, the conical crown and the simple dial
reduced to essentials to increase legibility to the maximum even in
conditions of very poor light. The Radiomir S.L.C. 3 Days also has a
historic dial of strongly minimalist design, with alternating bar and
dot-shaped hour markers. This version was probably created in the late
1930s to experiment with the sandwich construction of the dial, in which
two plates are filled with a layer of luminous material – today
Super-LumiNova® – the luminescence of which emerges through apertures
corresponding to the markers cut in the upper plate. The name of this watch
refers to the “Siluro Lenta Corsa” (S.L.C.), the slow-speed torpedo on
which the commandos of the Royal Italian Navy rode during their heroic
underwater missions, equipped with Panerai watches and instruments. A
slow-speed torpedo is drawn in relief on the dial and the inscription
“S.L.C.” is engraved on the flange at 12 o’clock.
