ETTING THE DATE
(
FOR SOME MODELS ONLY
)
Your watch has a gradual date change mechanism, a process which takes
about 3 hours to complete: from 10 p.m. to 1.00 a.m., with a margin of ± 30
minutes. This particular method of changing the date is inspired by the
mechanical tradition of Swiss watchmaking and it allows the date to be
changed in both directions, moving it either forwards or backwards. To set the
date indicated, proceed as follows:
1. Raise the lever
(A)
of the device protecting the winding crown and pull out
the winding crown
(B)
to the first click
(position 1)
. Turn it clockwise or anti-
clockwise until the correct date appears in the date window located at 3
o’clock.
If the date changes when the hour hand
(C)
goes past 12, 12 corresponds
to midnight, otherwise it corresponds to midday.
2. Return the winding crown
(B)
to the initial position
(0)
and close the lever
(A)
of the device protecting the winding crown.
Note: your Panerai watch features the rapid change of time that allows to
move the hour hand
(C)
forwards or backwards in steps of one hour and to
change the date in both directions, moving it either forwards or backwards.

HRONOGRAPH FUNCTIONS
In addition to the traditional chronograph functions which record the time
taken, in minutes and seconds, by an object moving from one point to another,
your watch has a flyback function. Created for military use, this enables a
continuous succession of time intervals to be measured once the chronograph
has been started. A special device enables the chronograph counters to be
reset and immediately restarted by a single press of the push-piece
(I)
.
The power reserve of the movement corresponds to 72 hours - chronograph
off. The chronograph functions are not guaranteed during the last day of power
reserve.

INDING THE WATCH
Your watch has an automatic mechanical movement with a 3-day power
reserve. If the watch is stopped for a long time, it is recommended that it be
rewound with a few clockwise turns of the winding crown
(B)
in the initial
position after raising the lever
(A)
of the device protecting the winding crown.

ETTING THE TIME
1. Raise the lever
(A)
of the device protecting the winding crown and pull out
the winding crown
(B)
to the second click
(position 2)
.
2. Set the correct time.
3. Return the winding crown
(B)
to the initial position
(0)
and close the lever
(A)
of the device protecting the winding crown.
For a rapid change of the time, pull out the winding crown
(B)
to the first click
(position 1)
. In this position, the hour hand
(C)
moves forwards or backwards
in steps of one hour without moving the minute hand
(D)
.
T
HE SECONDS RESET DEVICE
The little continuous seconds dial
(E)
is located at 9 o’clock. When the winding
crown
(B)
is pulled out to the second click
(position 2)
, the small seconds
hand immediately returns to zero. The seconds reset device is an extremely
accurate way of synchronising the watch with the reference time signal.
Note: at the moment that the seconds reset device comes into operation, the
seconds hand is zeroed and the balance is stopped. If the crown should
inadvertently be pulled out to
position 2
for a long time, the precise setting of
the time must be carried out again.
