Panerai Bundles a Bronze and Platinum Radiomir Pair With an Exclusive Italian Frogmen Experience

Panerai’s Experience Program has always been about more than the watches — Navy SEAL training, voyages aboard the 1936 Eilean yacht, and even America’s Cup access. The brand’s always understood that the right context can elevate a timepiece from collectible to something closer to a passport. This year, the Florentine maison is marking 100 years of its historic Piazza San Giovanni boutique with the Radiomir Viaggio nel Tempo (“journey through time”) Experience Set. And for the first time ever, they’ve bundled not one but two watches together. The PAM01729 and PAM01730 cannot be purchased individually. You buy the set, or you don’t buy at all.

California Dreaming in Bronze — PAM01729

The PAM01729 arrives in a 47mm bronze cushion case, which means this one is going to patina on your wrist in real time. No two will look alike after a few years of wear. The dial layout is the California configuration — Roman numerals up top, Arabic on the bottom — a design Panerai has arguably stewarded more faithfully than anyone since Rolex abandoned it mid-century. No brand logo appears on the face, just an “L Swiss L” designation at 6 o’clock, giving it more of a utilitarian aesthetic. Thermally blued hands pop nicely against the grainy black dial, and the domed Plexiglas crystal adds the appropriate vintage distortion. Powering it all is Panerai’s P.3000 caliber, a hand-wound movement with a 72-hour power reserve via twin mainspring barrels. The titanium caseback ring frames a sapphire display window.

Platinum and Pattern — PAM01730

The PAM01730 is where Panerai flexes. The case material here is Platinumtech, a proprietary alloy that’s 95% pure platinum, treated to deliver 85% greater hardness than standard platinum and 33% more mass than 18K gold. It is going to feel substantial on the wrist, and that’s the point. The dial is the real story, though: this is the first Panerai ever to feature a circular-brushed black finish — applied by hand via a rotational technique that leaves each dial with its own micro-variation and makes the surface shift hue in sunlight. Paired with the brand’s classic sandwich construction and a barely-there tone-on-tone “Radiomir Panerai” inscription at 12 o’clock, it reads clean. Inside, the P.3001/10 caliber with skeletonized, perlage-finished bridges is visible through the exhibition caseback, while a power reserve indicator lives on the caseback as well to keep the dial uncluttered.

The Trip Itself

The Viaggio nel Tempo experience runs September 15–18, 2026, and it’s structured as a four-day retracing of Panerai’s origin story, beginning where the brand itself began — Florence. Owners will tour the Piazza San Giovanni boutique through a curated exhibition before heading out to the original training grounds and dive sites used by the legendary Italian frogmen along the Serchio River. These are the actual locations where early Panerai tool watches were put to use during wartime missions. From there, the group transfers to the COMSUBIN naval base in Porto Venere for a real diving experience before the whole thing caps off with a yacht cruise along the Ligurian coastline.

Pricing & Availability

The Radiomir Viaggio nel Tempo Experience Set is priced at €145,000 (~$170,907) for the pair, limited to just 30 sets worldwide. Both watches arrive in a mahogany presentation case and will go on sale in June 2026. The accompanying four-day experience is reserved exclusively for set owners.

Panerai Radiomir Viaggio nel Tempo Experience Set PAM01729 and PAM01730

For its 100th boutique anniversary, Panerai is doing something it’s never done before — bundling two Radiomir references together as an inseparable set for its latest Experience Edition. Each one is a different take on the brand’s deepest heritage, and packaging the whole thing with an Italian journey that traces the exact ground where the legend was built.
