EPLACING THE STRAP
The Panerai Radiomir 1940 case features a spring bar system allowing the
strap to be replaced easily. Push on the hole visible at the side of the strap
attachment to remove the strap gently. To insert the new one, put the bar into
the strap attachment and push on the opposite side of the bar to insert it
correctly into the other strap attachment. Pay attention not to scratch the
bottom of the strap attachment during this operation. A small groove within
each strap attachment allows the operation to be carried out easily.
WARNING: the strap and the buckle must be replaced by an Authorized
Distributor or a Panerai Service Centre, in order to avoid any problems caused
by incorrect replacement. Spring bars must be replaced every time the strap
is changed.

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 used, 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 restore it every two years 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 should 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.
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.
