The Timepiece will be then sent to the Manufacture in Neuchâtel. A thorough examination performed by one of our specialist watchmakers can either confirm or refute the authenticity of your timepiece. It takes 6 to 8 weeks and costs approximately 350 euros for Timepieces produced since 1997.

If a close examination reveals that parts of the timepiece are not genuine, Panerai reserves the right to refuse to issue a certificate for such timepiece.

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.

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.

We recommend maintenance every 2-3 years with a complete service every 4-5 years. For further detail, kindly contact the Concierge Service at +1 877-726-3724.

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 concierge or your Panerai boutique to have the service prices regarding your specific model.

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.

To have your strap or bracelet exchanged or cleaned, kindly visit your closest authorized retailer or Boutique. To purchase a new strap or bracelet, we invite you to contact the e-Boutique at +1 877-726-3724, at concierge.us@panerai.com or visit your nearest authorised retailer or Boutique.

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. 

The watch will be given to the closest Richemont Service Center where our Panerai watchmakers will take care of it. After the 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 interventions can only be made in our manufacture in Switzerland. You can find more information in the service section.

Yes, to have the case or bracelet of your watch polished, we invite you to visit your closest authorized retailer or Boutique. 

To report potentially counterfeit goods or stolen Panerai watches, we invite you to contact our Concierge Service at +1 877-726-3724 or at concierge.us@panerai.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You can quickly Report your lost or stolen watch by adding it to a worldwide register used by police, the watch industry and the pre-owned market.
