Radiomir GMT White Gold

In Context

At 42 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 100 m is genuine swimming resistance — more than the shape of this watch suggests it would need.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. Its 37-hour reserve wants wearing most days; leave it off and it stops.

PAM00185 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a black dial with a white gold case. It was a limited edition. Beyond the time it carries a gmt.

An automatic built on a Jaeger-LeCoultre base rather than the ETA ébauches Panerai used more often, and fitted to the Radiomir GMT. The second time zone reads on a 24-hour hand set independently of the main pair. It belongs to the period before Panerai's Neuchâtel manufacture began supplying the collection with movements of its own.
