Panerai RADIOMIR 1940 Manuel D'instructions page 11

The water-resistance of your watch, indicated on the back by the symbol
, is guaranteed to a pressure of 3 bar, which correspond to the
hydrostatic pressure exerted by a column of water on 1 square centimetre at
a depth of 30 metres under normal conditions. In these circumstances your
watch is therefore water-resistant to a depth of about 30 metres.

HE CRYSTAL
The crystal is made of acrylic PMMA or Plexiglas
resistance to water and UV rays.
NOTE: because of the delicacy of this material, a second crystal is supplied
with the watch which will, if necessary and if the watch is covered by the
warranty, be replaced once free of charge on presenting it at any Authorised
Panerai Distributor throughout the world.
It can be damaged by insecticides, sun creams and solvents.
T
HE DIAL
The black dial is the Panerai sandwich type, consisting of two superimposed
plates, the upper one is perforated with the numerals and hour markers,
whereas the lower one is covered with a layer of luminous substance.
In order to ensure optimal levels of luminescence and greater resistance over
time, Panerai uses exclusively "Grade A" Swiss Super-LumiNova
this luminous substance, special high-performance pigments are used. This
allows an increase in the duration of the readability of approximately 35%
compared to standard Super-LumiNova
Small seconds at 9 o'clock.
