EPLACING THE STRAP
The Panerai Radiomir 1940 case features a spring bar system allowing the
strap to be replaced easily.
Push on the hole visible at the side of the strap attachment to remove the strap
gently. To insert the new one, put the bar into the strap attachment and push
on the opposite side of the bar to insert it correctly into the other strap
attachment. Pay attention not to scratch the bottom of the strap attachment
during this operation.
A small groove within each strap attachment allows the operation to be carried
out easily.
WARNING: the strap and the buckle must 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 according 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.
