For the last seven years the Negroni has been our cocktail of choice. Surprisingly, despite its recent popularity and comeback, this cocktail is not necessarily well known by all bartenders and often we find ourselves explaining how it needs to be served and what goes in it. The Negroni, just like Panerai, comes from the cradle of the renaissance and the home to the Medici, Florence, Italy. As Florentine as an Officine Panerai wristwatch, the Negroni is a quintessential and very distinctive cocktail.

SIHH 2017: Officine Panerai Radiomir 3 Days Acciaio 'Brevettato' PAM 685 and PAM 687. Hands-on Live Pictures & Pricing.
Finally, we got to see in the metal at the SIHH 2017, two new watches from Panerai we just couldn't wait to see in person.

In the late 1930s, Panerai made a number of Radiomir watches with a special 12-sided bezel, engraved with the words “OFFICINE PANERAI – BREVETTATO”. This inscription 'Brevettato' —which means Patented— referred to the patented luminous substance Radiomir used on the dial and it suggests that the watches were used not for military operations but for presenting to the authorities of the Royal Italian Navy, which was evaluating new instruments for underwater missions.

News: Presenting the new Officine Panerai Luminor 1950 3 Days 'Marina Militare' PAM 673. A 1,000-Piece Special Edition.
As precision instruments used for special missions and covered by military secrecy, some watches made by Panerai in the 1940s had no indication on the dial apart from the hour markers. But other models carried names referring to the luminous substance used on the dial —such as Radiomir or Luminor— or of the institution which had commissioned the watches, such as the Italian Navy. Inspired by these elements, the new Panerai Luminor 1950 3 Days in a limited edition of 1,000 pieces, features the inscription 'Marina Militare' on its dial.
