The new Panerai Radiomir 3 Days Platino

At the recently concluded Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie or SIHH 2011, Panerai released the stunning new Panerai Radiomir 3 Days Platino

At a massive 47mm diameter, the case is platinum with removable wire loop strap attachments. The only functions included in the watch are the Hours and the Minutes, but I personally would like to see at the power reserve feature and the characteristic device that protects the crown, which is a Panerai trademark by the way. Too bad that is included only in the Luminor watches.



The movement is hand-wound mechanical with the in-house Panerai P.3000 calibre, executed entirely by Panerai. It is 5.3 mm thick has 21 jewels, a Glucydur® balance, 21,600 alternations/hour, with a Incabloc® anti-shock device. The power reserve is for 3 days with two barrels. The watch has a total of a whopping 160 components.




The bezel is entirely Platinum, and that's where it gets the sheen from. The back is a see-through sapphire crystal. The dial is brown, and has luminous markers for easy readability in the dark.




The strap is a PANERAI personalised alligator strap with a large-size white gold buckle. It also is water-resistance up to 100 meters (10 bar).

If you are contemplating to buy watch, and are ready to loosen your wallet by about $20000, you should go in for it. It truly is, a piece of art.
