inadvertently be pulled out to position 2 for a long time, the precise setting of
the time must be carried out again.

ETTING THE DATE
Your watch has a gradual date change mechanism, a process which takes
about 3 hours to complete: from 10 p.m. to 1.00 a.m., with a margin of ± 30
minutes. This particular method of changing the date is inspired by the
mechanical tradition of Swiss watchmaking and it allows the date to be
changed in both directions, moving it either forwards or backwards. To set the
date indicated, proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the winding crown (A) and pull it out to the first click (position 1).
In this position the hour hand (B) moves in steps of one hour. Turn the
winding crown (A) clockwise or anti clockwise moving the hour hand (B)
forwards or backwards until the desired date appears in the date window
located at 3 o'clock. If the date changes when the hour hand (B) goes past
12, 12 corresponds to midnight, otherwise it corresponds to midday.
2. Return the winding crown (A) to the initial position (0) and screw it down
again.
Note: your Panerai watch features the rapid change of time that allows to
move the hour hand (B) forwards or backwards in steps of one hour and to
change the date in both directions, moving it either forwards or backwards.

FUNCTION
The GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) system, also known as universal time and
adopted throughout the world, divides the terrestrial globe into 24 one-hour
sections (time zones), each equivalent to 15° of longitude. The Greenwich
meridian was taken as the fundamental reference meridian for the localization
of time zones by the international conferences held in Rome in 1883 and in
Washington in 1884.
Starting from meridian zero (or Greenwich meridian), 24 time zones have been
26
defined, from 0 to +12 towards the east, and from 0 to -12 towards the west.
The zero meridian has a very important function for sailors: the time at
Greenwich is the reference for the calculations which enable the longitude at
sea to be determined, and thus the establishment of the ship's exact position.
The GMT function enables the local time and the time in another country
(home time) to be read at the same time.

ETTING THE SECOND TIME ZONE
1. Unscrew the winding crown (A) and pull it out to the first click (position 1).
In this position the local time hour hand (B) moves forward or backward in
steps of one hour without moving the minutes hand (C).
2. Set the local time required. The local time hour hand (B) will indicate the
local time, that is, the time in the place where it is located at that moment.
3. Push back the winding crown (A) to the initial position (0) and screw it down
again.
The hand of the second time zone (E) will indicate the home time, that is,
the time in the country of origin. This hand moves at the same rate as the
local time hour hand (B), carrying out a complete revolution in 12 hours. At
9 o'clock, on the small seconds dial (D), a further hand (F) displays the
GMT time divided into 24 hours, to avoid possible confusion between
morning and afternoon of the home time.
