Panerai's Radiomir Bronzo PAM00760 Marks the 90th Anniversary of Eilean, the 1936 Bermudian Ketch Returning to the Classic Regatta Circuit

In 1936, Scottish shipyard Fife of Fairlie built a Bermudian ketch called Eilean. Ninety years later, that same vessel is returning to the classic regatta circuit, sailing across France, Italy, and Spain through its 2026 season after an official ship launch at Italian shipyard Cantiere del Carlo. Panerai, which acquired and restored Eilean in 2009, has marked the occasion with a watch that draws its material directly from the maritime world the ketch was built for.

The Radiomir Bronzo PAM00760 is cased in bronze, a material with a documented history in ship and yacht construction valued for its durability and resistance to saltwater corrosion, and one that Panerai has incorporated into its designs with enough consistency that it has become part of the brand's material identity. The case measures 47 mm in a subtle rounded square shape with a brushed bronze bezel and crown. The dial is dark green with a degradé surface treatment, the edges appearing darker while the center is considerably lighter, with oversized bronze Arabic numerals and hour markers and blue steel hands treated with Super-LumiNova for visibility in low light conditions.

The hand-wound P.3000 calibre movement inside is designed to embody the robust characteristics of Panerai's early instruments made for the Italian Navy. It is visible through an open titanium caseback displaying a wide bridge, three companion bridges, and two spring barrels. A quick-change time function allows the hour hand to be moved forwards or backwards by one hour at the first crown-click position without disturbing the minute hand, a practical consideration for a watch with a sailing heritage. The movement delivers a three-day power reserve. The case is water resistant to 100 meters and is completed with a dark brown rolled leather strap.

The Panerai Radiomir Bronzo PAM00760 is available now at £16,800.
