The Radiomir Eilean Experience Edition (PAM01244) celebrates two legends of the sea, Panerai and the Eilean – a masterpiece designed and constructed by renowned boat builder William Fife and restored by Panerai to its original grandeur, with a limited-edition watch available in only 50 pieces.
Measuring 45mm, the bi-material case in patina steel and bronze is a direct descendent of the original Radiomir of the 1930s; a thinner profile is one of the features that distinguishes the contemporary version from its ancestor. The bronze found on the bezel, crown and caseback are remnants of repurposed metal salvaged from the Eilean during its restoration. With time, each bronze element will develop unique patination that will be wholly dependent on the conditions it faces; each watch will pay tribute to the continuing legacy of Eilean even as they begin new journeys of their own. Enclosed by a sapphire crystal that preserves the distinctive surface the vintage bronze develops without inhibiting its evolution, the caseback is emblazoned “Eilean 1936.”
The role of the Eilean as muse extends to the blue dial with the iconic Panerai sandwich structure; its textured surface resembles the boat’s teak deck. Engraved along the side of the case is the same dragon emblem visible on the bow of Eilean, while the whipstitching along the soft leather strap mimics nautical knots. A brand of the Eilean logo appears on the strap at 6 o’clock.
Purchasers of the Radiomir Eilean Experience Edition (PAM01244) will gain a firsthand appreciation for the remarkable allure of the historic yacht through a journey aboard the boat along the cerulean Amalfi Coast. Sailing the Mediterranean on the Eilean while taking in the culinary and cultural delights that the region offers is the ultimate expression of the Italian seafaring lifestyle.
Like the Radiomir models that preceded it, the Radiomir Eilean Experience Edition (PAM01244) features a manually wound movement. The P.6000 caliber is water-resistant to 10 bar (about 100 meters), has a three-day power reserve and is manufactured in-house at the Panerai manufacture in Neuchatel.
In addition to this, an exclusive and limited edition NFT, will be created with the introduction of the Radiomir Eilean Experience Edition. Panerai will issue each purchaser a unique digital wallet based on secure Web3 blockchain technology, that will hold the NFTs associated with Radiomir Eilean watch. Its utility is manifold: the NFT provides definitive proof of ownership; it serves as an access to an enhanced client experience with benefits and services that begin immediately and unfold continually. Among these will be Panerai genesis NFTs: buyers will receive a collectible, one-of-a-kind artwork by an artist.
