MAINTENANCE ADVICE
Panerai watches are produced to very high standards of quality. It is worth
remembering that the mechanical parts run 24 hours a day when used, so the
watch must undergo regular maintenance to ensure long life and good operation.

RESISTANCE
Have your watch checked periodically for water-resistance by an Authorized
Panerai Service Centre with regular servicing, or whenever the watch has to be
opened.
Restoring the watch’s water-resistance necessarily involves replacing the seals so
as to ensure the maximum water-resistance and security.
Where the watch is used in underwater sports activities, it is recommended that
it be checked every year before the season of underwater activities begins.
T
HE MOVEMENT
Have the movement of your watch checked periodically by an Authorized Panerai
Service Centre so as to maintain its perfect operation. If the watch tends to gain
or lose time significantly, the movement may need to be overhauled.
The movements are designed to withstand temperature variations between
-10°C and +60°C (14°F and 140°F). Outside this range of temperatures,
operational variations exceeding those set out in the specifications of the
movement may be noticed. In addition, there is a risk that the lubricants
contained in the movement may deteriorate, resulting in damage to some of its
parts.
C
LEANING THE EXTERIOR
To keep the exterior in perfect condition, we recommend washing your Panerai
watch with soap and warm water, using a soft brush. After this operation, and also
after bathing in the sea or a swimming pool, carefully rinse the watch with clean
water. All Panerai watches can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth.

EPLACING THE BUCKLE
The screwdriver supplied with your watch enables the buckle of the strap to
be replaced easily.
The replacement of the strap and the buckle of your watch must be carried out
by an Authorized Distributor or a Panerai Service Centre, in order to avoid any
problems caused by incorrect replacement.
