Radiomir 1936

Panerai Radiomir 1936 California dial.

In 1936, the Italian navy had a special request: a luminous underwater watch, both durable and reliable, for its divers. Panerai had already spearheaded the technology of luminous dials and sighting devices. Uniting that bit of chemistry and the company's watchmaking expertise, the Radiomir 1936 was created. 

Seventy years later, the Radiomir 1936 is faithful to the original. It features a 47-millimeter case that screams active man and a black face with luminous Arabic and Roman numerals and luminous hour and minute hands known as the California dial. The watch is manually wound, but it has a power reserve of 56 hours and is water resistant to 30 meters.
