T
HE STRAP
Panerai straps must be washed in warm water and left to dry. It is important not to
dry them on a hot surface or to expose them to direct sunlight, 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.
It is recommended that the strap and the buckle should be replaced by an
Authorized Distributor or a Panerai Service Centre, in order to avoid any
problems caused by incorrect replacement.
Only an Authorized Distributor 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.
All alligator leather used by Officine Panerai comes from farms in Louisiana,
USA. Officine Panerai's suppliers have committed to the highest standard of
responsibility and have given their assurance that such farms in Louisiana
contribute to the stable growth of wild alligators, thus protecting this
endangered species. Panerai does not use skins coming from fragile or
endangered species taken from the wild.
