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. Raise the lever (A) of the device protecting the winding crown and pull out the
winding crown (B) to the first click (position 1). Turn it clockwise or anti-
clockwise until the correct date appears in the date window located at 3 o'clock.
If the date changes when the hour hand (C) goes past 12, 12 corresponds
to midnight, otherwise it corresponds to midday.
2. Return the winding crown (B) to the initial position (0) and close the lever
(A) of the device protecting the winding crown.
Note: your panerai watch features the rapid change of time that allows to
move the hour hand (C) forwards or backwards in steps of one hour and to
change the date in both directions, moving it either forwards or backwards.
T GMT (
HE FuNCTION FOR SOME MODELS ONLy
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 localisation
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
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 FOR SOME MODELS ONLy
1. Raise the lever (A) of the device protecting the winding crown and pull out
the winding crown (B) to the first click (position 1). In this position the local
time hour hand (C) moves forwards or backwards in steps of one hour
without moving the minute hand (D).
2. Set the local time required. The local time hour hand (C) 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 (B) to the initial position (0) and close the
lever (A) of the device protecting the winding crown.
The hand of the second time zone (N) 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 (C), carrying out a complete revolution in 12 hours.

Dives are under your sole responsibility, and must be carried out in accordance
with the basic rules of diving and internationally recognized standards and
procedures. Some risks are inherent in this activity, such as accidents or
unexpected physiological reactions. you must be in possession of a diving
certificate, or dive as part of a dive training provided by professionals, and be
fully equipped for the activity to ensure your safety. Sports diving in special
environments, called "technical diving", requires special techniques and
equipment, which can only be provided by diving professionals. Never dive
alone. your panerai watch does not replace a depth gauge or any other
professional diving equipment that are necessary to ensure you safety,
including but not limited to a professional dive computer with electronic depth
gauge. Diving computers indicate multiple parameters such as the body's
nitrogen load, calculating decompression stops, or measuring water
temperature, and so on. They will always be the most appropriate technology
to ensure your safety and provide precision multi-tools for diving. It is highly
recommended to use your panerai watch together with a dive computer as a
