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.
For ceramic watches: since ceramic is a very hard material, if it comes into
severe contact with other materials, some traces may be left on the
watch.
T
hese 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.
W
ATER-RESISTANCE
Have your watch checked periodically for water-resistance by an Authorized
Panerai Service Centre and restore it every two years with regular servicing, or
whenever the watch has to be opened.
Restoring the watch’s w
ater-
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 con

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
WINDING THE WATCH
1. Release the winding crown (B) (for Luminor models, raise the lever
protecting it; for Radiomir models, unscrew it) and without pulling it out
(position 0), wind it clockwise until it stops.
2. Lock the winding crown again (for Luminor models, close the lever
protecting it; for Radiomir models, screw it again).
S
ETTING THE TIME
1. Release the winding crown (B) and pull it out to the first click (position 1).
2. Set the time.
3. Bring back the winding crown to the original position (0) and lock it again.
T
HE SECONDS RESET DEVICE (FOR SOME MODELS ONLY)
The little continuous seconds dial (E) is located at 9 o’clock. When the winding
crown (B) is pulled out to the first click (position 1), the small seconds hand
immediately returns to zero. The seconds reset device is an extremely
acc
urate w
ay 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 1 for a long time, the precise setting of
the time must be carried out again.
