Panerai radiomir eilean pam01243

Panerai Radiomir Eilean PAM01243

And from Panerai we have the new Radiomir Eilean PAM01243. Bringing together two iconic 1936 designs, the new Radiomir Eilean PAM01243 couples the hallmark visual traits of the historic Radiomir and the stunning and super distinct lineage of the Eilean, a yacht designed by boat builder William Fife III which sailed the seas of Europe and the Caribbean for decades before being acquired by Panerai in 2006 with the intent to fully restore it to its former glory. The new Radiomir Eilean PAM01243 continues on the thematic look and feel of the original Radiomir with its distinct cushion case and builds upon its heritage inspiration with a dial featuring striations and a brown finish that evokes the teak deck of the Eilean yacht, along with an inscription of the boat name on the caseback and strap, along with a dragon emblem on the left hand side of the case, the same which decorates the boat hull.
