Greetings. I'm Tim of Govberg, and welcome to the world of Officine Panerai. Today, I'll be your guide to the usage, care and maintenance of your Officine Panerai Luminoir Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Titanium PAM 1305.

It's important to note that this is an automatic winding timepiece by case back winding mass. However, should you wish to manually wind the watch simply unlock the crown by withdrawing the locking lever and in the first position flush to the case turn the crown 20-30 turns in a clockwise direction. This will be sufficient to start the movement, and you'll know the watch is running because you'll see the seconds hand at 9:00 begin to circulate. At this point you can set the time, set the date, and the watch will continue to wind itself.

If you wish to manually wind the watch up to its maximum rated power reserve of 72 hours, simply continue turning the crown in the clockwise direction. Listen for a subtle click or tick from within the watch. This is the bridal style mainspring slipping, by design, to relieve any excess strain or tension. This is your audible sign that the watch is fully wound. Take heart, because of the design of the mainspring, you cannot accidentally overwind the timepiece. Simply, listen for your audible cue that the watch is fully energized.

It should be noted that the caliber P9010 also features a timezone jumpers feature. This allows you to jump one hour at a time or more as you travel through different time zones. You'll note you can even jump east or west over the international date line, driving the date in either direction with no hazard to the movement. Take note, that the seconds hand continues to advance, as does the minutes. The watch's chronometric precision is not interrupted by the use of the timezone feature.

It should be noted that this watch features Officine Panerai's exclusive quick release strap system. You can see there is a release trigger on the underside of the lugs on each side of the case. Then in horizontal profile you can see there are perforations in the lugs. First you depress the trigger, while the trigger is depressed, drive the retaining bar through horizontally. You will do this with the tools included with the watch. The advantage is that you can quickly and easily swap straps in the comfort of your own home. This is particularly useful if you ever have the watch on a leather strap.

Moreover, water resistance is not a static feature of your watch. Over time as seals age and lubricates degrade, it should be noted that the watch will be relatively less water resistant than the 300 meters rated when it first leaves the factory or a service center. Therefore, Officine Panerai recommends on an annual basis having your watch checked for factory rated hermiticity exclusively at authorized service centers.

Concussion can cause more permanent damage to your watch. At a minimumconcussive effects can stop the watch. At a maximum they can shatter the crystal, damage the case, and cause severe structural damage requiring comprehensive reconstruction. Therefore, it's important to keep the watch disused during activities such as ATV or mountain bike riding, firearms marksmanship, or sports such as batting, tennis, or golf that have severe concussive effects on the forearms.

Finally, it's important to have the watch periodically overhauled in comprehensive fashion. The best way to test the total condition of your watch, water resistance, physical condition, as well as chronometric performance, is when you have it into an authorized service center for its annual water test.

If necessary, a comprehensive overhaul includes replacement of a worn strap, restoration of factory metal finish, restoration of water resistance as well as cleaning,oiling, and adjustment of the movement to meet factory rated chronometricperformance standards. This should be performed exclusively at an authorized service center of Officine Panerai as these agency solely have the trained personnel, specialized tools and equipment, and original Panerai factory replacement parts to protect the value of your watch as both instrument and as investment. Moreover, only these agencies are authorized to back all labor and parts invested with a Panerai factory service warranty.
