Panerai PAM00520 Radiomir 1940 Chronograph 18K WG Black Dial LIMITED

The Panerai PAM00520 Radiomir 1940 Chronograph Oro Bianco stands as a pinnacle of modern Panerai exclusivity, issued in a highly limited run of only 100 pieces in 2014. Rendered in lustrous white gold—hence its designation Oro Bianco—this striking 45mm chronograph pays homage to Panerai’s mid-20th-century Italian military chronographs, blending historic design cues with contemporary luxury craftsmanship. Its black dial features a perfectly balanced, bi-compax layout accented by vintage-style inscriptions and tachymeter scale at the periphery, enhancing both legibility and aesthetic sophistication. At its heart is the revered manual-wind Caliber OP XXV, based on the legendary Minerva 13-22 ebauche, known among collectors for its exquisite column wheel architecture and hand-finishing. The transparent sapphire case back displays this mechanical artistry in full. As a Radiomir 1940 reference, the case forgoes wire lugs in favor of solid lugs and a clean, cushion silhouette, reinforcing its vintage roots. With a practical 50-meter depth rating, it combines robust daily wearability with high horological art. This edition is further distinguished by a luxurious black alligator strap, complementing the dial and case. For connoisseurs, the PAM00520 endures as a rarefied example of Panerai’s ability to fuse military heritage with haute horlogerie in an exclusive, collectible package.
