Last July, Panerai launched the limited-edition Radiomir Eilean to coincide with the yacht's stop near Portofino in Italy. This June, the historic ketch will sail along the Amalfi Coast with buyers of the Radiomir Eilean Experience Edition on board.
In 1936 Panerai carried out tests on precision instruments that would equip the Italian Royal Navy's new underwater assault vehicles and operators under a secret programme. Ref 2533 outperformed the other prototypes and later its successor Ref 3646, illuminated by a radium paste, became known as the Radiomir military watch.
