Made from bronze recovered from the restoration of the sailing ship Irene
Access to this experience is available with the purchase of the new Radiomir Otto Giorni Irene Experience Edition, reference PAM01643. Limited to just 30 pieces, this watch incorporates bronze recovered from Irene during its restoration. The original Irene bronze was meticulously cleaned in a casting process and carefully blended with new bronze. This limited edition features the bronze in the case back medallion, bezel, and crown.
Bronze is made up of copper and 8% tin, giving it great structural strength. The 45mm Brunito steel case complements the bronze. Panerai's Brunito finish is created by treating the steel case with PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) and then individually brushing it by hand to give it a vintage look. It gives each watch a unique look and enhances its appeal. The Radiomir Otto Giorni Eileen Experience Edition represents the adventure of each owner.
Engraved with Irene's coat of arms
The Radiomir Otto Giorni Eileen Experience Edition perfectly reflects Panerai's nautical heritage, combining functionality with timeless elegance and beauty. The grainy beige dial evokes the sails of Eileen and evokes the feeling of the wind blowing on the open sea. The characteristic luminous numerals and markers are also highlighted in soft tones, adding a warm vintage touch.
The watch's ties to the historic ship are displayed in several ways: the dark brown leather strap is hot-stamped with 1936, the year Eilean was launched, the back of the case also features the word "EILEAN" engraved in a bronze medallion, and the dragon emblem that adorned Eilean's hull is meticulously reproduced as an engraving on the left side of the case.
