Maintenance Advice - Panerai LUMINOR 1950 EQUATION OF TIME Mode D'emploi

R
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).

EPLACING THE BUCKLE
The screwdriver supplied with your watch enables the buckle of the strap to
be replaced easily.
It is recommended that the buckle should be replaced by an Authorized
Distributor or a Panerai Service Centre, in order to avoid any problems caused
by incorrect replacement.

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 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 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.
