When Italian luxury watchmaker Panerai formed the Paneristi community two decades ago, they created a platform for fans around the world to come together over a shared appreciation for the brand’s characteristically big and bold timepieces.

Just as Panerai was carving out a storied comeback in the world of watchmaking, the Paneristi bolstered enthusiasm for the brand becoming a place for discussion, feedback and trading. To celebrate the passion that fuels such a following, Panerai has created a special, limited edition Radiomir Venti that acknowledges the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship and rewards Paneristi’s loyalty.

The Radiomir Venti (PAM2020) is a close collaboration between Panerai’s technical and creative team and the Paneristi community, presenting a 45mm timepiece that draws heavily on nostalgia and takes cues from 1930s Panerai Radiomir models. References to the Radiomir’s history can be found in the gold sword-shaped hands, the colour of the lume and even the finishing of the brown sandwich sun-brushed dial, which features a ‘Paneristi.com 2000-2020’ engraving at six o’clock. The manually-wound Caliber P.6000 offers the wearer up 72 hours of power reserve.

Packaging for the model echoes the elegance and care the designers have taken for the vintage-inspired model, with each of the 1,020 pieces available coming in a beige calfskin suede strap with white stitching. As you can see from the photos, it’s an exquisite expression of Panerai’s history.
