LEANING THE EXTERIOR
To keep the exterior in perfect condition, we recommend washing your Panerai
watch with soap and lukewarm 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.
T
HE STRAP
Panerai straps must be washed in lukewarm water and left to dry. It is
important not to dry them on a hot surface or to expose them to direct
sunlight, because the rapid evaporation of the water could damage their shape
and quality. After bathing in the sea or a swimming pool, always carefully rinse
the strap with clean water.
The leather strap is made from leather which has not been chemically treated,
which gives it a very natural, soft feel. As a result of its characteristics, the
colour and form of the leather tend to change with the passage of time while
maintaining all of its beauty.
The replacement of the strap and the buckle of your watch must be carried out
by a Panerai Authorised Distributor or a Panerai Service Centre, in order to
avoid any problems caused by incorrect replacement.
Only an Authorized Distributor or Panerai Service Centre can guarantee the
use of genuine Panerai straps, properly designed to fit the dimensions of the
case and manufactured according to the quality standards of the brand.
All alligator leather used by Officine Panerai comes from farms in Louisiana,
USA. Officine Panerai’s suppliers have committed to the highest standard of
responsibility and have given their assurance that such farms in Louisiana
contribute to the stable growth of wild alligators, thus protecting this
endangered species. Panerai does not use skins coming from fragile or
endangered species taken from the wild.

MAINTENANCE ADVICE
Panerai watches are produced according 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.
Since ceramic is a very hard material, if it comes into severe contact with other
materials, some traces may be left on the watch. These are not scratches in
the ceramic, but rather a deposit of the material with which the watch came
into contact, and it can be removed at a Panerai Service Centre.

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.
