Officine Panerai displayed two new Rose Gold Radiomir watches at SIHH 2011. The first is the 42mm Radiomir Oro Rosa PAM00378. The Radiomir was traditionally manufactured in 45mm and 47mm cases, but in 2010 Panerai released three 42mm Radiomirs. The PAM 378 is nearly identical to the PAM 336 released last year. The only differences between the two are that the PAM 378 has a black dial on a black leather strap and the PAM 336 a brown dial on a complementing brown leather strap.

This movement produced 21,600 vibrations per hour and has a sixty hour power reserved. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal glass, and the movement can be viewed from the back through a sapphire crystal case back. The case is rated to be water resistant to 100 meters. |

The second Rose Gold Radiomir displayed by Panerai at SIHH 2011 is the PAM 379. The PAM 379 is 47mm in size. The PAM 379 follows a more classic design displaying only the hours and minutes on its brown dial. It comes with the new for 2011 in-house manufactured hand-wound mechanical movement, the Panerai P.3000 calibre. This movement produced 21,600 vibrations per hour and has a three day power reserved. The movement can be viewed from the back through a sapphire crystal case back. The case is rated to be water resistant to 100 meters.
To complement is classic design the dial is protected by Plexiglass rather than a sapphire crystal glass.
