Panerai Lo Scienziato Radiomir Tourbillon - a Skeleton on Your Wrist

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 22:10:37 +0300

Panerai is known as a relatively young company in comparison to many of its competitors. But despite of that the company has recently crossed another bridge in the brand promotion by creating its new Panerai Lo Scienziato Radiomir Tourbillon.

The new Panerai watch Lo Scienziato Radiomir Tourbillon differs greatly from the previous editions. The main difference is in the watch refined skeleton structure, clearly visible from the dial. Usually skeleton watches display just hours and minute, but Lo Scienziato also displays small seconds, a second time zone, 24th indicator, power reserve indicator and tourbillon. And all this without seeming too sophisticated. By the way, “lo scienziato” means “the scientist” in Italian.

Arabic numerals on the dial as well as hour markers and the second time zone, indicated by a third central hand, are all luminescent. This brings sub-comfort to the wearer.

The case is made of an exceptionally hard, corrosion- resistant material - zirconium oxide ceramic. The back-plate is made from a ring of titanium, also sturdy material for every day wearing.

And as usual, the dial has no lack of diamonds. They are on the Cartier Captive watch bezel and on the dial’s perimeter as well. Moreover, the “numbers” on the dial are made of 3 karat diamonds.

Case aperture serves as a bracelet’s bracing. This affect brings some pocket watch notes to the Cartier Captive design. The light-grey canvas material bracelet is elegant enough the wear it with the 18-k white gold snap.
