Panerai has released a new Radiomir 1940 3 Days Automatic Acciaio 42mm, with a white dial, at SIHH.
The Radiomir 1940 is a combination of design elements from both the Luminor and Radiomir watches; it’s based on an historical model that was a kind of transitional design between the Luminor and Radiomir. With the cushion-form case, smaller lugs, and non-locking crown, the Radiomir 1940 has become a favorite for Panerai enthusiasts (see our reviews on the Oro Rosso version and the stainless steel versions released last year here). The 1940, initially made with a manual-winding movement, received an upgrade in 2014 with an automatic movement. The caliber P.4000 was the first movement created just for the Radiomir 1940 and is notable for the off-center micro-rotor and three-quarter plate.
The newest version of the 1940, seen here, has the same P.4000 movement that is made in-house complete with the characteristic micro-rotor. The newest feature is the white dial with variously-sized Arabic numerals, eccentric subsidiary seconds, and off-white luminous dots. Although the white dial is not new for Panerai, it is certainly new to the Radiomir 1940 collection and will surely be a popular addition.
