PANERAI TESTS AND CERTIFICATION STANDARDS
The following pages include details of the standards and tests which have been
applied to your watch in the course of its construction at the Panerai Manufacture.
These standards apply not only to the movement but to the watch as a whole with
all its components.
Consistent with what it has always done in the past, Panerai works on the
continuous improvement of every part of your watch and it certifies that every
single component meets the strictest standards of high-quality watchmaking.
N.B. The tests and standards relate to the operation of the watch in the workshop
at the time of manufacture. However, in situations of use or lack of use it is
possible that, within the limits of recognised tolerances, some lack of conformity
may arise which cannot under any circumstances be described as manufacturing
defects or defective operation. A watch being an assembly of mechanical moving
parts, such parts are susceptible to wear. It is therefore recommended that the
watch should be checked periodically at an Authorized Service Center and that a
complete overhaul should be carried out every four years.

These consist of checks carried out over 21 consecutive days, during which the
movement is subjected to various dynamic stress cycles, to assess the resistance
of all the components, the maintenance of a regular rate and of the correct
functioning for the period indicated.
The test cycle is equivalent to the use of the watch for about 6 months on the
wearer’s wrist. Thermic and climatic tests are also carried out over 14 days in total
(included in the abovementioned 21 days), exposing the watch between 15°C and
55°C with 70% humidity.

A
GEING TEST OF THE HAND
-
SETTING MECHANISM AND WINDING STEM
This test is performed by carrying out a series of 1,000 cycles on the winding stem
and the hand-setting mechanism, followed by a resistance test of the winding
stem subjected to a force of 25N.
A
GEING TEST OF THE AUTOMATIC WINDING MECHANISM
This test is carried out on the automatic winding mechanism over 3,000 hours,
which is equivalent to the use of the watch for about 5 years.
A
GEING TEST OF THE MANUAL WINDING MECHANISM
This test is carried out on the manual winding mechanism over 260 cycles of one
week each, which is equivalent to the use of the watch for about 5 years.

The materials used in the construction of the case provide freedom from almost
all allergic reactions. Please note that each person may have a natural
predisposition to allergy to materials that are considered to be hypo-allergenic.

ESTS CARRIED OUT ON THE CASE
The quality of every single component of the case is checked. Then, after the case has
been assembled, it undergoes its first test for water-resistance, to guarantee the
protection it provides against the infiltration of dust and humidity. When the watch
