THE PANERAI RADIOMIR 10 DAYS
GMT ORO BIANCO WATCH
The Panerai Radiomir 10 Days GMT Oro Bianco is a unique numbered edition
of 250 units. It has all the salient characteristics of the Radiomir, the most
classic of Officine Panerai models, designed and constructed for military use
three-quarters of a century ago. Further to all the technical characteristics of
the original, this model has two time zones, date, 10-day power reserve and
above all, a high-end movement entirely designed and built in-house by
Officine Panerai in Neuchâtel.

HE CASE
The Panerai Radiomir 10 Days GMT Oro Bianco watch has a case of 45 mm.
It has the characteristic cushion form, typical of Panerai, and it is made of
white gold. In its construction, Panerai has made use of manufacturing
techniques involving many complex operations which ensure a remarkable
aesthetic finish and at the same time great resistance in terms of water- and
shock-resistance. The screw-down crown is conical in shape and
personalised Panerai. The crystal is of sapphire, obtained from corundum, a
very hard material (second only to diamond), free of impurities, transparent,
resistant to abrasion, and with anti-reflective treatment. The screw back is in
sapphire and enables the movement and its haute horlogerie finish to be
admired. On the back of the case are engraved the case number, the
sequential number of the watch with the number of the production, the
material and the maximum depth of use.
The water-resistance of your watch, indicated on the back by the symbol
, is guaranteed to a pressure of 5 bar which corresponds to the
hydrostatic pressure exerted by a column of water on 1 square centimetre at
a depth of 50 metres under normal conditions. In these circumstances your
watch is therefore water-resistant to a depth of about 50 metres.

HE DIAL
The black dial is the Panerai sandwich type, consisting of two superimposed
plates, the upper one perforated with the 12 and 6 numerals and the hour
markers, while the lower one covered with a layer of luminous substance.
Other numerals consist of applied metal hour markers.
In order to ensure optimal levels of luminescence and greater resistance over
time, Panerai uses exclusively "Grade A" Swiss Super-LumiNova
this luminous substance, special high-performance pigments are used. This
allows an increase in the duration of the readability of approximately 35%
compared to standard Super-LumiNova
Small seconds at 9 o'clock, date at 3 o'clock, second time zone indicated by
the central hand and by the small 24-hour indicator at 9 o'clock, linear power
reserve at 6 o'clock.
