The definitive transformation of the first cushion case, which today is offered by Officine Panerai with the name Radiomir (originally the name of the radioactive material which made the dial luminous), occurred gradually during the 1940s.

DESCRIPTION
- The authenticity of a Panerai watch is expressed in its loyalty to the history of the brand and in the innovative research that ensures its technological excellence. The SIHH 2012 collection reinterprets the Luminor and the Radiomir with the most original technology and materials while recovering details of the Panerai story.
The history of Officine Panerai, which is the inspiration of each new collection, is the tale of an extensive pursuit of technical and aesthetic solutions combining the perfection of simplicity with the highest possible quality. Exploring the history of the brand involves the re-presentation of the shapes, functions and details that are authentic but as yet have not been rediscovered. In doing this the Panerai watches of today continue to faithfully recount the most exciting chapters in the history of an Italian excellence.
FROM THE RADIOMIR TO THE LUMINOR
In the course of Panerai’s history, the case used in 1936 for the first prototype of the watch presented to the Royal Italian Navy was gradually developed to meet ever more closely the requirements of the frogmen in their heroic underwater deeds.
The first Panerai case had an elegant cushion shape and the strap was connected to it by slender wire strap attachments, formed by a metal rod bent at both ends and welded to the case. This arrangement exposed the attachments to the risk of being bent or broken by strong external forces, and as a result the commandos were in danger of losing an instrument of vital importance in the course of their missions.
The need to avoid this risk caused the Panerai engineers to experiment, from 1940 according to some sources, with new solutions to strengthen the structure of the case, paying particular attention to the strap attachments. The result of this research was the replacement of the wire attachments with more robust lugs, larger and milled from the same block of steel as the case. The definitive transformation of the first cushion case, which today is offered by Officine Panerai with the name Radiomir (originally the name of the radioactive material which made the dial luminous), occurred gradually during the 1940s. The new case was distinguished from its predecessor not only by the different arrangement of the lugs, but also by the general modification of the sizes of the individual parts and the abandonment of the corners of the caseband, typical of cushion cases, in favour of one with flatter edges.
But the element which made the new case unique, and the one which today identifies the Luminor models (the name being borrowed from the tritium-based material which replaced Radiomir), is the bridge-shaped device fitted to protect the winding crown. At the centre of this device is a tightening lever which applies pressure in such a way as to compress the sealing ring of the crown without damaging it, thus optimising its water-resistance. An exclusive Panerai patent, this device enabled the watch to be water-resistant to a depth of 200 metres, an absolute record for the time, and it also provides the winding crown with protection against shocks or accidental rotation.
THE POWER RESERVE
Even in the version with the bridge device with locking lever, the crown is one of the elements of the case most exposed to the infiltration of water as well as being subject to stress, and therefore to wear. The length of the power reserve, and therefore the frequency with which a hand-wound watch had to be wound up, was therefore a crucial element in its performance, particularly in the case of a professional instrument devoted to quality and precision.
The challenge of a long winding reserve, enabling the watch to run continuously for at least a week without needing any manual intervention, was met by Panerai in the 1940s by the adoption of a mechanical hand-wound Angelus movement, with a power reserve of eight days. Extremely solid and reliable, another characteristic of this movement was its very sophisticated finish.
With the adoption of the Angelus movement one of the distinctive elements of Panerai watchmaking was born: the dial with the small seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock. This detail also met a particular requirement of the frogmen, who with it could check immediately that the watch was running, since the relatively rapid movement of the small luminous hand was very visible, unlike that of the other hands.
The eight-day power reserve has remained in the Panerai DNA and it is no coincidence that the first of the movements completely developed by the Officine Panerai manufacture in Neuchâtel was a hand-wound mechanical calibre, the P.2002, in which the power reserve of eight days is displayed by a linear indicator on the dial.
The circular mark with the inscription “otto giorni brevettato” (“eight day patented”) which appears on the dial of some exclusive Special Edition watches is also a very fascinating element: it appeared for the first time on the dial of the Radiomir created in 1956 for the Egyptian Navy.
INNOVATION
The present and the future of Officine Panerai are now based on the development of high quality in-house manufacture movements together with research into innovative materials. The collection presented at SIHH 2012 uses only manufacture movements and materials of finest performance and characteristics: stainless steel, ceramic and, for the first time, red gold.
The ceramic already used for several years by Officine Panerai is a special synthetic ceramic made by a complex series of working and finishing processes on zirconium oxide powder. The final result of these operations is a material which has a particularly uniform and even appearance combined with a high degree of hardness (up to five times greater than that of stainless steel), as well as being resistant to scratches, corrosive agents and high temperatures.
