Panerai released a novelty today – the Radiomir 8 Giorni Eilean Experience Edition, with Panerai’s P.5000 hand-wound calibre, offering an impressive 8-day power reserve.
‘The Panerai Experiences Program is a pioneering initiative that allows clients to connect with the very heart of our brand. With the new Mediterranean Experience, we invite our clients to discover the cultural essence of the renowned island, where luxury meets unforgettable moments. We believe that true luxury is about creating lasting memories, building a genuine sense of community, and offering unmatched experiences. We are proud to be among the fewest Maisons to bring this level of immersion to the luxury watch industry, establishing a new model that deepens the relationship between Panerai and those who share our passion,’ says Jean-Marc Pontroué, CEO of Panerai.
The Mediterranean Experience will reveal the island’s most fascinating historical, cultural and natural wonders through a curated selection of exclusive activities and includes a cruise aboard Panerai’s Bermudian ketch Eilean, recalling the golden age of maritime exploration on Sicily’s storied waters. Eileen is a beautiful yacht, restored by Panerai (learn more about its history as we discovered it during the Homo Faber 2018).
Access to this Experience is available by purchasing the novelty. Limited to just 30 pieces, the Radiomir 8 Giorni Eilean Experience Edition is crafted from recovered bronze from Eilean itself. During the yacht’s extensive restoration, parts of its original structure were salvaged, including sections of bronze fittings, which were then incorporated into the 45mm watch.
The original Eilean bronze underwent a long and meticulous process of successive castings to clean it and then it was carefully blended with new bronze to create the bezel, crown and medallion on the case back of this watch.
