These instruments have indissolubly associated the name Panerai with marine exploration, time measurement and the development of a particular standard of quality and safety, a fundamental requirement for supplying the armed forces. Officine Panerai began producing watches in March 1938 with the Radiomir, a model which played a part in the exploits of the commandos of the Italian Navy who wore it on their wrists. The Panerai Luminor has been recognised as a historically important watch by virtue of the robustness and originality of its design; the small number of examples produced, together with the first Radiomir watches, are some of the rarities most sought-after by collectors in the field. Since 1993, Officine Panerai has offered updated Luminor and Radiomir models on the international market, thus becoming one of the undisputed leaders in the haute horlogerie sports sector. Making excellent use of the resources of the Panerai Manufacture, highly reliable, technologically avant-garde watches are being created; these are watches meeting the criteria of craftsmanship inherited from the traditions of the past, tested to resist extremely strong adverse influences. Panerai watches are distributed through a highly selective international network of watch specialists as well as through the Panerai boutiques. The addresses are available on our website www.panerai.com. The Panerai boutique in Florence in the early 1900s. PAA01409 Libretto 02-14.qxp_PAA01409 06/03/14 10:12 Pagina 1417

THE DEVICE PROTECTING CROWN

The winding crown’s protective device (protected as a trademark) ensures extremely efficient and reliable water-resistance, as well as protecting the winder from being turned accidentally. Mounted in a block fixed to the case, a small movable lever compresses the sealing ring of the winding crown axially, thus clamping it in the closed position. THE MOVEMENTS The movements of the Luminor Base and Marina are the calibres Panerai OP X and OP XI, except for the Luminor Base LOGO and Luminor Marina LOGO equipped with the calibres OP I and OP II. They are hand-wound mechanical movements of 16½ lignes with power reserve of 56 hours, 17 jewels, monometallic Glucydur

anti-shock device. “Côtes de Genève” decoration on the bridges, blued steel screws as in the best Swiss watchmaking tradition. The calibres OP X and OP XI are fitted with a swan’s neck regulator that can be admired from the see-through sapphire crystal back. Chronometer Certificate issued by C.O.S.C. for the calibres OP II and OP XI equipping respectively the Panerai Luminor Marina LOGO and Luminor Marina. Officine Panerai is not the owner of the trademarks Glucydur

PANERAI LUMINOR The Panerai Luminor Historic family includes the watches Luminor Base (the classic version and the model for left-handers), Luminor Marina, Luminor Base Logo and Luminor Marina Logo. The Panerai Luminor Historic watches are fitted with a high quality Swiss hand-wound mechanical movement. THE CASE The case, obtained from a single block of metal, is made completely of AISI 316L stainless steel or titanium. Its manufacture involves a complex range of processes. Starting from the initial block roughly shaped by stamping, a total of more than 60 further production processes take place before the finished product is achieved. A series of quality checks carried out with highly sophisticated instruments ensures the watch’s exceptional resistance and accuracy. The anti-reflective crystal is sapphire, made from corundum, which is the toughest material after diamond. Without any impurities, it is completely transparent and abrasion resistant. The gently cambered crystal ensures that the dial is completely visible and guarantees resistance at great depths. The back, screwed to the case, has a sapphire crystal window for the Panerai Luminor Base and Marina and is made of steel for the Panerai Luminor Logo. On the back of the case are engraved the case number, the sequential number of the watch with the number produced annually, the material and the maximum depth of use. The water-resistance of your watch, indicated on the back by the symbol , is guaranteed to a pressure of 30 bar which correspond to the hydrostatic pressure exerted by a column of water on 1 square centimetre at a depth of 300 metres under normal conditions. In these circumstances your watch is therefore water-resistant to a depth of about 300 metres. PAA01409 Libretto 02-14.qxp_PAA01409 06/03/14 10:12 Pagina 16MAINTENANCE 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. WATER-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. THE 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.

CLEANING 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.

1. Open the lever of the device protecting the winding crown.

2. Without pulling it out, wind the crown clockwise until it stops.

3. Close the lever of the device protecting the winding crown.

1. Open the lever of the device protecting the winding crown.

2. Pull out the winding crown.

3. Set the required time.

4. Close the crown and the lever of the device protecting the winding crown.

THE 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 Authorised Distributor or a Panerai Service Centre, in order to avoid any problems caused by incorrect replacement. Only an Authorised 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. ATTENTION: Do not use the watch at a depth greater than that indicated.
