Radiomir Quaranta

Founded in 1860 at Ponte alle Grazie in Florence, Giovanni Panerai established more than a watch shop — he created the city’s first watchmaking school, laying the foundation for what would become Officine Panerai. By the 1920s, the boutique had moved to the Archbishop’s Palace beside the Florence Cathedral, under the name “Orologeria Svizzera,” a symbol of horological excellence for over a century. In 1949, Panerai registered Luminor, redefining luminescence with a safer, tritium-based innovation. Over time, Luminor became the unmistakable signature of the Maison’s diving timepieces, distinguished by the iconic patented crown-protection device. A new chapter began in 2002 with the opening of the Panerai Manufacture in Neuchâtel — where Swiss precision, Italian design, and relentless research unite in the pursuit of technical mastery. The Radiomir Quaranta 40mm with blue sun-brushed dial is elevated by luminous Arabic numerals and hour markers, offering legibility. The display features central hours and minutes, a date aperture at 3 o’clock, and small seconds at 9 o’clock. This model is new version of reference PAM01293. Powered by the automatic P.900 calibre with a 3-day power reserve and Incabloc® anti-shock protection, it ensures precision and reliability. Water resistant to 50 metres. Panerai offers an international warranty of two years, extendable to additional six years through online registration. Are old vintage watches valuable?
