Panerai once again showcases its adventurous spirit and craftsmanship heritage with the global limited release of just 30 pieces of the Radiomir 8 Giorni Eilean Experience Edition PAM01643.

Customers who purchase this watch will be invited to a special exploratory journey deep into Sicily, where they can experience its rich cultural history and breathtaking natural landscapes, all while enjoying the perfect blend of sailing and luxury living.
This meticulously planned journey to Sicily offers participants a breathtaking helicopter view of volcanic wonders, along with a personal challenge of hiking up Mount Etna, experiencing the majestic power of Europe’s most active volcano up close.

The PAM01643 features a 45mm Brunito stainless steel case, meticulously hand-polished to evoke a vintage feel. The bezel, crown, and case back are crafted from bronze reclaimed from the Eilean yacht, with the bronze material undergoing multiple castings and mixing processes to showcase a depth of color aged by time. Panerai utilizes PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) technology to give the watch a distressed look, creating a uniquely personalized style.
PAM01643 equipped with the brand’s proprietary P.5000 manual winding movement, boasts 8 days of power reserve, with a sturdy internal structure ensuring the watch operates reliably in extreme conditions. The dial is designed with beige grain texture, inspired by the sails of the Eilean sailboat, featuring the signature layered structure of the Radiomir series, complemented by Super-LumiNova® X1 luminescent coating for clear time visibility.
Additionally, the watch features a deep brown calfskin strap with delicate stitching, and the year of Eilean’s maiden voyage, “1936,” is embossed on the strap, highlighting its historical significance. The case back is engraved with the name “Eilean” and the classic dragon emblem, further reinforcing the watch’s connection to this legendary sailing vessel. With a water resistance of 10 bars (approximately 100 meters), it’s perfect for all kinds of outdoor adventures and sailing activities.
