The Elegant Evolution of a Military Legend
The Panerai Radiomir is the watch that started it all for the Florentine brand. This reference, the PAM00388 Black Seal, perfectly bridges the gap between vintage heritage and modern luxury. It features the iconic 45mm cushion-shaped case with detachable wire loop strap attachments—a design born from the necessity of Italian Navy frogmen in the 1930s.
Unlike the manual-wind base models, the PAM00388 is powered by the advanced in-house P.9000 automatic calibre, offering the convenience of self-winding with a robust 3-day power reserve. The classic "Sandwich Dial" adds incredible depth and luminosity, making this a sophisticated daily wearer that slides easily under a cuff despite its bold presence.
