With its cushion-shaped steel case, the highly-luminous sandwich-style dial, and the missing crown guard, this reference PAM00425 is most definitely a Panerai Radiomir. It is, however, the unique details nodding to the watch’s rich legacy that set it apart. The watch is christened Radiomir S. L. C. after Siluro a Lento Corsa, the slow-speed torpedo used by the commandos of the Royal Italian Navy for underwater missions. Aptly, the dial on this watch carries a striking depiction of a torpedo on its dial in a very tasteful tone-on-tone fashion and S.L.C. engravings on the flange.

The neat and streamlined layout of the dial includes a combination of index and dot hour makers, the signature script, and luminous hands. It’s sparse but very elegant. Through the sapphire crystal caseback, one can admire the hand-wound calibre P.3000. With a beat rate of 21,600 vibrations/hour, 161 components, and an Incabloc® anti-shock device, this mechanical movement promises unfaltering precision, whereas the assembly of two barrels allow a power autonomy of three days.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
