2. Setup and Initial Operation

2.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove your watch from its packaging. Inspect the watch for any visible damage. The package typically includes the watch, a user manual, and a warranty card.

2.2 Winding the Watch

Your PD-2770 is an automatic mechanical watch. It is powered by the movement of your wrist. However, for initial setup or if the watch has stopped due to lack of wear, it needs to be manually wound.

1. Ensure the crown is in its normal, pushed-in position (Position 0).
2. Turn the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times. This will provide enough power reserve to start the watch.
3. The watch will continue to wind itself as you wear it throughout the day.

2.3 Setting Time and Date

The watch features a date display. Follow these steps to set the time and date:

1. **Setting the Date:** Pull the crown out to Position 1 (first click). Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the date change mechanism is active and could be damaged.
2. **Setting the Time:** Pull the crown out to Position 2 (second click). Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Ensure you set the correct AM/PM for the date to change at midnight.
3. Once time and date are set, push the crown back into Position 0.

2.4 Adjusting the Strap

The watch comes with either a leather strap or a stainless steel bracelet. Adjust the strap to ensure a comfortable and secure fit on your wrist.

• **Leather Strap:** Use the buckle to find the appropriate hole for your wrist size.
• **Stainless Steel Bracelet:** This typically requires removing or adding links. It is recommended to have this done by a professional watchmaker to avoid damage.

3. Operating Your Watch

3.1 Automatic Movement

The PD-2770 is powered by a Seagull 2813 automatic self-wind mechanical movement. This means the watch is wound by the natural motion of your arm. When fully wound, it has a power reserve that allows it to run for a certain period (typically 36-40 hours) even when not worn. If the watch stops, simply wind it manually as described in Section 2.2.

3.2 Water Resistance

The watch is rated for 30M (3ATM) water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use and can withstand splashes, rain, and hand washing. It is NOT suitable for swimming, diving, or showering with hot water.

• Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged.
• Do not expose the watch to hot water or steam, as this can compromise the water seals.

4. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your PAGANI DESIGN watch.

• **Cleaning:** Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and sweat. For stainless steel bracelets, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying.
• **Avoid Chemicals:** Do not expose the watch to solvents, detergents, perfumes, or other chemical products, as they can damage the case, strap, or seals.
• **Temperature Extremes:** Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or sudden temperature changes.
• **Magnetic Fields:** Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, mobile phones), as magnetism can affect the accuracy of mechanical movements.
• **Storage:** When not wearing the watch for extended periods, store it in its original box or a soft pouch to protect it from dust and scratches.
• **Professional Servicing:** Mechanical watches benefit from periodic servicing (typically every 3-5 years) by a qualified watchmaker to ensure optimal performance and lubrication of the movement.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your watch, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• **Watch Not Running or Stopping Frequently:**
      - Ensure the watch is sufficiently wound. Manually wind the crown 20-30 times (Section 2.2).
      - Wear the watch regularly for at least 8-10 hours a day to allow the automatic movement to fully wind.
• **Date Not Changing at Midnight:**
      - The time might be set to PM instead of AM. Advance the time by 12 hours (Section 2.3).
      - Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the date mechanism.
• **Inaccurate Timekeeping:**
      - Check if the watch has been exposed to strong magnetic fields. If so, demagnetization by a professional watchmaker may be required.
      - If the watch is consistently fast or slow, it may require regulation by a professional.
• **Condensation Under the Crystal:**
      - This indicates a breach in the water resistance. Avoid further exposure to water and seek professional service immediately to prevent damage to the movement.

7. User Tips

• **Initial Winding:** If your watch has stopped, give it a good manual wind (20-30 turns of the crown) before wearing it to ensure it starts with sufficient power.
• **Consistent Wear:** For optimal performance of the automatic movement, wear your watch regularly. If you don't wear it daily, consider a watch winder to keep it running and accurate.
• **Date Setting Caution:** Always avoid adjusting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the internal mechanism.
• **Movement Type:** The PD-2770 uses a reliable Seagull 2813 automatic mechanical movement, not a Dixiang DG2813 as some might inquire.
• **Water Exposure:** While 30M water resistant, it's best to remove your watch before showering, swimming, or any activity involving prolonged water immersion to protect the leather strap and seals.
