ETTING THE DATE

(

FOR SOME MODELS ONLY

)

Your  watch  has  a  gradual  date  change  mechanism,  a  process  which  takes
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.

HRONOGRAPH FUNCTIONS

In  addition  to  the  traditional  chronograph  functions  which  record  the  time
taken, in minutes and seconds, by an object moving from one point to another,
your  watch  has  a  flyback  function.  Created  for  military  use,  this  enables  a
continuous succession of time intervals to be measured once the chronograph
has  been  started.  A  special  device  enables  the  chronograph  counters  to  be
reset and immediately restarted by a single press of the push-piece

(I)

The power reserve of the movement corresponds to 72 hours - chronograph
off. The chronograph functions are not guaranteed during the last day of power
reserve.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

PANERAI CHRONO

INDING THE WATCH

Your watch has an automatic mechanical movement with a 3-day power
reserve. If the watch is stopped for a long time, it is recommended that it be
rewound with a few clockwise turns of the winding crown

(B)

in the initial

position after raising the lever

(A)

of the device protecting the winding crown.

ETTING THE TIME

1. Raise the lever

(A)

of the device protecting the winding crown and pull out

the winding crown

(B)

to the second click

(position 2)

2. Set the correct time.
3. Return the winding crown

(B)

to the initial position

(0)

and close the lever

(A)

of the device protecting the winding crown.

For a rapid change of the time, pull out the winding crown

(B)

to the first click

(position 1)

. In this position, the hour hand

(C)

moves forwards or backwards

in steps of one hour without moving the minute hand

(D)

HE SECONDS RESET DEVICE

The little continuous seconds dial

(E)

is located at 9 o’clock. When the winding

crown

(B)

is pulled out to the second click

(position 2)

, the small seconds

hand immediately returns to zero. The seconds reset device is an extremely
accurate way of synchronising the watch with the reference time signal.
Note: at the moment that the seconds reset device comes into operation, the
seconds hand is zeroed and the balance is stopped. If the crown should
inadvertently be pulled out to

position 2

for a long time, the precise setting of

the time must be carried out again.
