Maintenance Advice - Panerai MARE NOSTRUM TITANIO Instructions

C
HRONOGRAPH FUNCTIONS
The chronograph functions of your watch record the average speed of a
moving object and the time it takes, in minutes and seconds, to move from
one point to another.
Start/stop push-piece for the chronograph functions (D)
Pressing it once starts the timing indicated by the central chronograph
seconds hand (H) and after 60 seconds by the hand of the minute counter (F).
When the same push-piece (D) is pressed a second time, all the hands are
stopped, indicating the time elapsed.
Reset push-piece for the chronograph functions (E)
Pressing it once instantaneously returns all the chronograph hands to zero: the
central chronograph seconds hand (H) and the minute counter (F).
This push-piece must not be operated while the chronograph is running, but
only after it has been stopped by pressing the push-piece (D) a second time.
Minute counter (F)
Positioned at 3 o'clock, this subsidiary dial is the chronograph minute counter,
which indicates the time elapsed in minutes since the start of the chronograph
measurement.
Central chronograph seconds hand (H)
It is positioned at the centre of the watch. It measures the seconds elapsed
since the start of the chronograph measurement.

MAINTENANCE ADVICE

Panerai watches are produced to very high standards of quality. It is worth
remembering that the mechanical parts run 24 hours a day when in use, so the
watch must undergo regular maintenance to ensure long life and good operation.
W -
ATER RESISTANCE
Have your watch checked periodically for water-resistance by an Authorized
Panerai Service Centre and maintain it with regular servicing every two years,
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 should be checked each 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.
C
LEANING THE EXTERIOR
To keep the exterior in perfect condition, we recommend washing your Panerai
watch with soap and warm 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.
