.New Panerai Model Introduction: Radiomir Panerai Automatic 45MM: Reference PAM00572


...New Panerai Model Introduction...

Radiomir Panerai Automatic
45MM: Reference PAM00572

It is hard to believe, but Panerai just introduced another all-new model, which was NOT showcased at  SIHH. It is called the Panerai Radiomir 1940, and it is the first Radiomir model to be offered with an automatic movement. It is worth mentioning this all new model, despite being 45mm and not 47mm, is getting us closer to modern Officine Panerai offering a model based upon the legendary Reference 6154.




This all-new Panerai model heralds a new era in Officine Panerai movement prowess with the debut of the P.4000 caliber movement. Not only is is the first automatic Radiomir Panerai, but it features an off-center micro-rotor, which reminds me of the micro-roter in the Patek Philippe Calibre 240 movement. Having this mini-rotor will allow Officine Panerai easily add more complications to the P.4000 in the future if the decide to do so.





This beautiful new movement is made in Office Panerai's Neuchâtel manufacture, which I will be doing a future story on, and as I understand it, this new factory is not only super-state-of-the-art, but Panerai has invested heavily in R&D, which will allow them to expand their movements in complexity and sophistication. 


The Panerai PAM00572 will be available in stainless steel as well as in Rose Gold, and both versions will feature a sapphire crystal case back. Tracey Llewellyn of QPMagazine.com wrote an excellent article that features many, many more details regarding this magnificent new Panerai Model, which I highly recommend.
