This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Paneristi, a faithful online community of Panerai lovers.
To mark the occasion Panerai has done what it does best – make a watch. It has just released a special edition Radiomir Venti (PAM2020) for 1,020 lucky fans.
The anniversary model takes cues from Panerai’s heritage. It mimics models from the Radiomir line back in the 1930s. The iconic square case measures 45mm, and is made from AISI 316L steel. Holding down the face is a brown sun-brushed dial, with beige Super-Luminova numbers and indices.
The watch will be immediately by its ‘Paneristi.com 2000-2020’ branding on the front of the dial, right below the hands. The words are also printed on the caseback, along with a 20th anniversario logo.
The watch is completed by a vintage-inspired beige calfskin suede strap, with white stitching.
The new Radiomir Venti costs just less than US$8,000. If you are interested you had better act quickly, as the limited numbers and rather large Paneristi community will mean it’s sure to sell out rather quickly.
We recently sat down with Jean-Marc Pontroue to discuss the past, present and future of Panerai. You can check out the full discussion right here.
