The cushion case of the new ‘Radiomir’ models are made of polished steel with slender wire loop strap attachments and remind of the first watches supplied by Panerai to the commandos of the Royal Italian Navy. The back of the watch is made of steel as well. The circular black dial harmonizes with the rounded design of the characteristic Panerai font of the figures, lightly engraved on the dial to better hold the luminous material, which makes them visible in the dark. The OP logo is located at six o’clock, with its twin arrows pointing up to the sky and down to the depths of the sea. The Radiomir Black Seal Logo additionally has a small seconds counter at 9 o’clock.

Designed and made in the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel, the P.6000 calibre is 151⁄2 lignes in diameter and its balance wheel – securely fixed in place by a bridge with twin supports – oscillates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour.
