Why should i service my watch? Read Close
A simple self-winding mechanical movement has more than a hundred pieces working together 24 hours a day. These components require regular, though not frequent, attention. As with a car engine, certain parts simply need to be cleaned and re-lubricated to ensure they do not wear down, potentially necessitating more serious repair work in the future.
When should i service my watch? Read Close
Like any high-precision instrument, a watch need regular servicing to ensure that it keeps functioning perfectly. The service interval can vary depending on the owner’s habits, the climate and the type of use. The water resistance cannot be guaranteed permanently. It may be affected by the ageing of gaskets or by an accidental shock on components ensuring the water resistance. We recommend to have it checked every 2 to 3 years or every year if the watch is used for water activities.
How should I care for my Panerai? Read Close
We recommend maintenance every 2-3 years with a complete service every 4-5 years. For further details, kindly contact the Concierge Service here.
How much does a service cost? Read Close
Our prices are based on the level of complexity of the movement, the amount of time necessary for the watchmaker to do the service and the spare parts involved. Please contact our Client Relations Centre here or your Panerai boutique to have the service prices regarding your specific model.
How can i take care of the leather strap ? Read Close
Leather is a natural material and susceptible to premature wear when in contact with water, or prolonged exposure to the sun. It is also recommended to take off the watch at night so the leather can breathe. All smooth leather types, can be gently cleaned with a wet cloth. Please note that leather straps are not guaranteed and regular replacement is advised depending on wear.
How can I have my watch strap exchanged or cleaned? Read Close
To have your strap or bracelet exchanged or cleaned, kindly visit your closest Boutique or authorised dealer. To purchase a new strap or bracelet, we invite you to contact our concierge here or visit your nearest Boutique or authorised dealer.
Why should I have my timepiece serviced? Read Close
Your timepiece is a high-precision instrument and the greatest care has been taken in its design and production. Composed of numerous components, oils, and lubricants, it deserves the greatest attention to ensure that it continues to work perfectly for many years to come.
What will happen after I give my timepiece for service? Read Close
The watch will be given to the closest Richemont Service Centre where our Panerai watchmakers will take care of it. After registration, a detailed diagnosis will be made in order to evaluate the condition of the watch and define which new parts or service it requires. For specific services or products, the maintenance work can only be carried out in our manufacture in Switzerland. You can find more information in the service section.

What are you doing to protect the environment? Read Close
Panerai is committed to creating a sustainable future for business, society and the environment. To discover our Corporate Social Responsibility policy, kindly visit the Sustainability section of our website here.
What is specific about the luminosity of Panerai watches? Read Close
It is part of the brand's history to provide a high luminosity even under water. Tritium was the first material used in the Panerai watches but it is no more authorized. We use now Super LumiNova grade A material for all dials and hands of our watches. The SLN material takes its luminescence from daylight or any artificial source of light. The watch should therefore be exposed to bright light in order to provide a glow in the dark. The luminescence decreases with hours but it is restored as soon as the watch is exposed again.
What is the accuracy tolerance for my watch? Read Close
The majority of watches (without a chronometer certificate) have an average precision tolerance ofbetween -5/+10 seconds per day in all positions. However, each caliber has its own specifications which are detailed in the user booklet.
What is the difference between a chronograph and a chronometer? Read Close
A chronograph is a watch with hands that display hours, minutes, and seconds together with a mechanism for measuring elapsed time by means of a central chronograph hand, which records seconds, and totalizers for the minutes and hours (not mandatory).
A chronometer is a watch whose movement has obtained an official rate certificate from the COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute) after having passed precision tests in different positions and at different temperatures over a 15-day period.
What is the difference between an automatic and manual movement? Read Close
The difference between these two movements is the way in which the watch is wound up to give it energy. Manual-winding watches must be wound by hand at a regular frequence depending on their power reserve (3 to 8 days for Panerai watches). Self-winding watches are wound by an internal rotor which responds to wrist movements. Self-winding watches usually have a power reserve of at least 40 hours and therefore have suffiient energy reserves to maintain a stable rate when the watch is not being worn.
How do I adjust time? Read Close
The time is set by pulling the crown to the time setting positions. The stem has different positions possible depending on the functions of your watch (chronograph, flyback...). You can find information about its functions or how to make small adjustments in the product manual.
HOW DO I REPORT MY LOST or STOLEN WATCH? Read Close
You can report your lost or stolen watch by adding it to a worldwide register used by police, the watch industry and the pre-owned market. Please find more information here.
I FORGOT MY PASSWORD, BUT THE PASSWORD RESET LINK DOES NOT WORK, WHAT DO I DO? Read Close
