MAINTENANCE

Water-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 in any case whenever the watch has to be opened.
The restoration of water-resistance necessarily involves replacing the seals so as to ensure the maximum water-resistance and security.
If the watch is often in contact with water through sports activities or otherwise, it is recommended that the water-resistance should be checked every year.

The Movement
Have the movement of your watch checked periodically by an Authorized Panerai Service Centre so as to preserve its perfect operation.
If the watch has a tendency to gain or lose time to a significant degree, the movement may need to be overhauled.

Cleaning 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 polished with a soft, dry cloth.

The Straps
Panerai straps must be washed in warm water and left to dry. It is important not to dry them on a hot surface, 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.
To replace the strap, it is recommended that you should go to an Authorized Dealer or a Panerai Service Centre. In this way the inconvenience caused by incorrect replacement can be avoided.
Only an Authorized Dealer 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.

The Metal Bracelet
The Panerai bracelet can be washed with soap and warm water, using a soft brush. After this operation, and also after bathing in the sea or a swimming pool, rinse the bracelet carefully with clean water and dry it with a soft, dry cloth.
To add or remove links from the bracelet, it is recommended that you should go to an Authorized Dealer or Panerai Service Centre. In this way the inconvenience caused by incorrect operations can be avoided.


* IMPORTANT *
a) Do not operate the winding crown under water;
b) Do not use the watch at a depth greater than that indicated.
