Setup
1. Unboxing and Initial Inspection
Upon receiving your watch, carefully remove it from its packaging. Inspect the watch for any visible damage or irregularities. Ensure all protective films are removed from the crystal and case back.
2. Adjusting the Leather Strap
The watch comes with a soft leather strap designed for comfort. To adjust the strap, locate the buckle or deployment clasp. For a deployment clasp, press the side buttons to release it, then adjust the pin to the desired hole on the strap for a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure the watch is not too tight, which could restrict circulation, or too loose, which could cause it to slide excessively on your wrist.

3. Initial Winding
As an automatic mechanical watch, the PD-1638 is powered by the motion of your wrist. However, for initial use or after a period of inactivity, it is recommended to manually wind the watch. To do this, gently unscrew the crown (if it's a screw-down crown) and then turn it clockwise approximately 20-30 times. This will build up a power reserve, allowing the watch to run accurately before regular wear takes over the winding process.
Operating Instructions
1. Setting the Time
To set the time, pull the crown out to the second position (farthest from the watch case). Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hands to the correct time. Once set, push the crown back into its original position. If it's a screw-down crown, gently screw it back in to ensure water resistance.
2. Automatic Movement (G3265Z)
Your Pagani Design PD-1638 watch is equipped with a G3265Z automatic mechanical movement. This movement is self-winding, meaning it harnesses the kinetic energy from your arm's motion to power the watch. When worn regularly (approximately 8-10 hours a day), the watch will maintain its power reserve. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it may stop, requiring manual winding as described in the "Initial Winding" section.

3. Water Resistance (100 Meters)
The PD-1638 watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for swimming, showering, and snorkeling. However, it is not recommended for diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in and, if applicable, screwed down before exposing the watch to water. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise its water resistance.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and crystal regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water and harsh chemicals. If the strap becomes dirty, gently wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely before wearing.
2. Protecting Against Scratches
While the watch is designed to be durable and scratch-resistant, it is not impervious to all damage. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces or materials that could scratch the crystal or case. Store your watch in a safe place, preferably in its original box or a soft pouch, when not in use.
3. Regular Servicing
Like all mechanical timepieces, your Pagani Design watch benefits from periodic professional servicing to ensure its longevity and accuracy. It is generally recommended to have mechanical watches serviced every 3-5 years by a qualified watchmaker.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch stops or loses time frequently. | Insufficient power reserve; watch not worn enough or not manually wound. | Manually wind the watch by turning the crown 20-30 times. Ensure regular wear (8-10 hours daily) to keep it wound. |
| Time setting is difficult or second hand does not stop. | This movement may not feature a "hacking" function (second hand stopping when crown is pulled). This is a characteristic of some mechanical movements. | Set the time as precisely as possible without the hacking feature. For exact synchronization, you may need to wait for the second hand to reach 12 before pushing the crown back in. |
| Strap feels uncomfortable or difficult to fasten. | Incorrect strap adjustment or unfamiliarity with the deployment clasp. | Re-adjust the strap to a comfortable fit. Practice opening and closing the deployment clasp. If issues persist, consider professional assistance for strap adjustment or replacement. |
| Condensation under the crystal. | Temperature changes or compromised water resistance. | Immediately take the watch to a qualified watchmaker for inspection and repair. Do not attempt to dry it yourself, as this can cause further damage. |
