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 Luminor Marina 1950 Three Days Automatic PAM 1392. Now, though this is an automatic winding timepiece, nevertheless, it can be manually wound, for instance, if it runs down, by unlocking the crown. And then, in its first position flush to the case, turning it clockwise 20 to 30 turns to start the movement.
Now, you'll know the watch is running because the seconds hand at nine o'clock will begin advancing. Now, at this point, you can set the date, set the time, lock the crown, and the watch will continue to wind itself by case-back winding mass. However, you can continue to fully wind the watch up to its maximum rated power reserve of 72 hours by turning the crown in the clockwise direction until you hear a subtle click or tick within the watch. That is the bridle-style main spring slipping by design to relieve any excess strain. Because it automatically relieves any excess strain when fully wound, it's your audible cue that the watch is completely energized and your peace of mind that you cannot accidentally over-wind this timepiece.
Now, there are two subsidiary functions that allow more precise setting of the time. The first is known as stop seconds. This can be used to synchronize against a known accurate reference time, such as an online atomic clock. Ideally, stop the seconds hand at the 60 second index so it's completely zeroed, and then set the watch so that the hour matches the atomic clock, but then set it ahead to the next nearest minute compared to your reference. Wait for the reference to catch up precisely to the hour, minute, and seconds that you've set. Push the crown back down. Now, the seconds hand resumes its advance. The watch is beating again, and you've synchronized your watch to your reference time.
There is also a time zone function one detent out from flush to the case that allows you to move the hour hand independently of the minutes and seconds. Note that the seconds hand continues to advance, as does the minute hand, while you're using this convenient travel feature. Now, you'll even note that you can drive the date forward or backwards as you travel east or west across the international date line. Once you've set the time you require, lock the watch once more.
The timepiece features a quick-release lug design that's designed to create minimal hazard to the finish of your steel case. Now, you'll note that there is a release trigger on the underside on both sides of the lugs, as well as a through-fitting that could be horizontally forced through the lugs for removal. Simultaneously depress the trigger and force the retaining bar horizontally, and you can remove the strap using the included tools with no hazard to the finish of your watch.
It's important to remember that you'll want to do this prior to water exposure, as leather is a natural porous material that is never water resistant. And this brings us to the three primary areas of hazard when holding your watch on your wrist through water exposure, magnetism, and shock. Of course, leather not being water-resistant, never get it wet. Swap to a water-resistant band.
Shock, however, can cause more permanent damage. At a minimum, extreme vibrations and concussions can alter the accuracy of your watch. In a worst-case scenario, they could damage the movement sufficiently to stop it. Therefore, it is advised that you not wear the watch while riding ATVs or mountain bikes, while engaged in firearms marksmanship, or while playing batting, tennis, or golf sports.
Finally, a fine mechanical watch will require a periodic comprehensive overhaul. The best way to know if your watch requires such a service is to have it checked comprehensively during your annual water test. If necessary, a comprehensive service will include replacement of a worn strap or band, restoration of case finish, restoration of factory-rated water resistance, as well as cleaning, oiling, and adjustment of the caliper.
For consistent performance, power reserve, and to meet factory-rated chronometric specifications, perform this service exclusively at authorized service centers or the factory itself, as these agencies solely have the trained personnel, original Officine Panerai factory replacement parts, and specialized tools and equipment to protect the value of your watch as both instrument as investment.
Moreover, only these agencies are able to back all labor and parts invested with an Officine Panerai factory service warranty.
