In a landmark year for Panerai, the Maison commemorates the centenary of its Piazza San Giovanni boutique with an offering that transcends watchmaking. The Radiomir Viaggio nel Tempo Experience Set is conceived not merely as a pair of timepieces, but as an invitation to retrace the brand’s Italian roots through an immersive journey. Florence becomes the starting point of a narrative where heritage, innovation and lived history converge.
Scheduled for September 15 to 18, 2026, the experience guides collectors from the heart of Florence to the storied landscapes tied to Panerai’s military legacy. Participants will explore the origins of the brand’s partnership with the Italian Navy, from the meeting grounds of the legendary frogmen to the Serchio River and the COMSUBIN base in Porto Venere, culminating in a yacht voyage along the Ligurian coastline. For the first time, such a curated itinerary is linked to an exclusive Watch Set.
The Radiomir Viaggio nel Tempo Experience PAM01729 anchors the narrative in bronze. Its commanding 47mm case pairs the storied California dial configuration with a material that evolves over time, developing a patina unique to its wearer. Slim wire lugs, a cone-shaped crown and a domed PLEXIGLAS® crystal evoke 1930s dive watch prototypes, while beige Super-LumiNova® and blue burnished steel hands reinforce legibility and vintage appeal.
Powered by the hand-wound P.3000 calibre with a three-day power reserve, the PAM01729 reflects mechanical robustness inspired by historical constructions. Its large 16½ lignes architecture, twin barrels and shock-resistant structure underscore Panerai’s enduring commitment to functional design. The titanium sapphire caseback offers a discreet view into the movement, grounding its nostalgic aesthetic in contemporary execution.
Complementing it, the Radiomir Viaggio nel Tempo Experience PAM01730 reinterprets heritage through Panerai Platinumtech™, a 95 percent pure platinum alloy engineered for enhanced hardness and scratch resistance. The 47mm cushion case retains classic proportions, while the circular sun-brushed black dial introduces a first for the collection. A tone-on-tone inscription preserves discretion, echoing the clandestine origins of Panerai’s naval instruments.
The hand-wound P.3001/10 calibre animates PAM01730 with decorated skeletonized bridges and a power-reserve indicator positioned on the back to maintain dial purity. Blue burnished steel hands and sandwich construction reinforce the Maison’s visual codes, while the dark brown alligator strap completes its understated composure. Like its bronze counterpart, it is water resistant to 10 bar and engineered beyond declared standards.
Limited to just 30 sets and presented in a mahogany case, the Radiomir Viaggio nel Tempo Experience Set embodies a dialogue between past and present. By pairing two historically resonant references with a meticulously curated Italian expedition, Panerai crafts more than watches—it creates a passage through time, where memory, mechanics and maritime spirit remain inextricably linked.
