Panerai Radiomir Quaranta PAM01571

The Panerai Radiomir Quaranta PAM01571 is a 40mm polished-steel watch, the most compact execution of Panerai's historic wire-lug Radiomir case. It runs the automatic Caliber P.900, just 4.2mm thick, with a 3-day power reserve. Cazador has no verified price observations yet (n=0). Its differential: it revives, at 40mm, the original proportions of the first 1930s Radiomir watches, well below the 45-47mm typical of most of Panerai's catalog.

History

Radiomir is the name of Panerai's original case, patented in the 1930s for the onboard instruments the Florentine house supplied to the Italian Royal Navy: a square-profiled case with rounded edges and wire lugs welded directly to the caseband, without the screwed-lug system Panerai would later introduce with the Luminor family. The name comes from the radium-based radioluminescent material that coated the indexes of those early military pieces.

Within that architecture, the Quaranta line — "forty" in Italian — deliberately revives the case diameter of those original 1930s Radiomir watches: 40mm, notably more compact than the 45-47mm that dominates much of Panerai's contemporary catalog, aimed at wrists seeking the Panerai aesthetic in a more manageable format.

The Caliber P.900 that powers this reference is an in-house automatic movement, just 4.2mm thick — a compact figure by Panerai standards — with a single barrel and a 3-day power reserve. Its construction includes 171 components, 23 jewels, and Incabloc shock protection.

The blue sun-brushed dial, with Arabic numerals and luminescent applications, carries the date at 3 o'clock and a small-seconds subdial at 9, in a classic layout within Panerai's visual language. At 5 bar (~50 meters) water resistance, the Quaranta prioritizes everyday wear and historical fidelity to the original design over the tool-diver functionality of other lines in the brand, such as the Submersible.

This is the sixth Panerai reference Cazador adds, extending coverage of the Radiomir family — already present via the Radiomir Black Seal PAM00183 — to the compact-proportioned Quaranta line.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Panerai Radiomir Quaranta PAM01571 cost?

Cazador has no verified price observations for this reference (n=0 as of today). We do not publish estimates without our own sourced market data.

What does "Quaranta" mean in this reference's name?

It's Italian for "forty," referring to the 40mm case diameter, which revives the original proportions of the first 1930s Radiomir watches.

How does the Radiomir case differ from the Luminor?

The Radiomir has wire lugs welded directly to the caseband, without the screwed-lug system that characterizes the Luminor family Panerai introduced later.

What movement does the PAM01571 run?

It runs Caliber P.900, an in-house Panerai automatic movement, just 4.2mm thick, with a 3-day power reserve.

Is the Radiomir Quaranta suitable for diving?

No — it's rated to 5 bar (~50 meters), enough for everyday wear but well below the 300m rating of the brand's Submersible references.

Why is this Panerai family called "Radiomir"?

For the radium-based radioluminescent material that coated the indexes of the first military onboard watches Panerai built in the 1930s.

How does the Quaranta's size compare to the rest of Panerai's catalog?

At 40mm it's notably more compact than the 45-47mm typical of much of Panerai's catalog, aimed at smaller wrists or anyone preferring a more discreet size.
