EPLACING THE STRAP
Your watch uses a special device for changing the strap. A pin (a), visible at
the side of each strap attachment, can be released by simultaneously pushing
on the push-piece (b), located on the underside of the strap attachment and
on the pin itself. A special tool (c), supplied in the box, enables this operation
to be carried out with simplicity and precision. Before making the
replacement, detach the two parts of the tool. To complete the replacement,
after introducing the pin, push on the push-piece (b).

MAINTENANCE ADVICE
Panerai watches are made 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

RESISTANCE
Have your watch checked periodically for water-resistance by an Authorised
Panerai Service Centre and maintain it with regular servicing every two years,
or 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.
Where the watch is used in underwater sports activities, it is recommended
that it should be checked each year before the underwater activities begin.
T
HE MOVEMENT
Have the movement of your watch checked periodically by an Authorised
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.
