The Panerai composite, characterized by ductility and reliability, allows the brand’s watchmakers to come up with sophisticated and extremely precise workings. The processes employed in the creation of this material, have been suggested by the processes carried out when producing components for the aeronautic industry and for car and motorcycle races, the fields where the highest levels of performance are of vital importance.

The Radiomir Composite Marina Militare 8 Giorni - 47 mm demonstrates a mono-color look. The case and the crown of the watch are created in matt, deep brown, matching the brown of the dial. The case is coupled with a vintage leather strap, also in brown.
