Russian journalists who have been writing for very different editions - from very glamorous to professional watch editions - agreed upon making new-born Russian Watch Press Award namely journalistic award. That means the award was not any way supported by watch producers or their distributors in Russia.
The award’s organizers decided not to arrange any full-dress functions, award ceremonies and did not even make bright diplomas for the winners to be kept as mementos.
In December, 2006 Panerai introduced a timepiece that initially appeared 70 years ago - Panerai Radiomir. In 1936 the first Radiomir models were commissioned for the divers of the Royal Navy of Italy who needed most reliable underwater timepieces to provide supreme luminosity underwater.
The modern interpretation of the original Radiomir timepieces is based upon the aesthetic lines and technical excellence of their “ancestors” and is sure to become greatly demanded by passionate watch collectors. The timepiece was developed in a limited edition of 1936 pieces in steel and 99 pieces in platinum.
