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 i nvolves 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.

T
HE STRAP
Panerai straps must be washed in warm water and left to dry. It is important not
to dry them on a hot surface or to expose them to direct sunlight, because the
rapid evaporation of the water could damage their shape and quality. After each
bathe in the sea or a swimming pool, carefully rinse the strap with clean water.
It is recommended that the strap and the buckle should be replaced by an
Authorized Distributor or a Panerai Service Centre, in order to avoid any
problems caused by incorrect replacement.
Only an Authorized Distributor or Panerai Service Centre can guarantee the use
of genuine Panerai straps, properly designed to fit the dimensions of the case
and manufactured according to the quality standards of the brand.
All alligator leather used by Officine Panerai comes from farms in Louisiana,
USA. Officine Panerai's suppliers have committed to the highest standard of
responsibility and have given their assurance that such farms in Louisiana
contribute to the stable growth of wild alligators, thus protecting this
endangered species. Panerai does not use skins coming from fragile or
endangered species taken from the wild.
