Panerai Radiomir 8 Days GMT Oro Rosso - Interwatches.com News

Panerai has introduced many new watches at the SIHH 2012, and we have been presenting a few already. Today we get a first look and specs of the Radiomir 8 Days GMT Oro Rosso 45 mm Special Edition. 

This new timepiece by Officine Panerai is the perfect blend of elegance and sophistication. The classic aesthetic of the Radiomir, here in red gold in the 45mm size, is combined with an original and highly sophisticated version of the P.2002 movement, featuring finely skeletonised bridges and barrels which can be seen through the large sapphire crystal on the back. 

The dark brown dial with satin-finished sunray treatment is protected by a sapphire crystal made from corundum and with anti-reflective treatment. It has the sandwich construction typical of Panerai watches: the luminous material is spread generously between the two thin metal plates, the upper one of which is perforated to correspond with the hour markers and figures.
