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.
A
NTIMAGNETIC WATCH
(
ISO
764
STANDARD
)
In the presence of magnetic fields with an intensity of 4,800 A/m - 40,000 A/m
for the Amagnetic models - the watch must continue to run regularly.
T
HE CASE
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.
T
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
(case, movement and dial) has been assembled, it is tested again using various
instruments to ensure the perfect water-resistance of your watch.

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.

ACCELERATION TEST FOR WATCHES WITH A SCREWED CASE BACk
(
NIHS
91-10
STANDARD
)
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.
