3. Setup and Initial Operation

3.1 Initial Winding

This watch features an automatic mechanical movement (M2791B) that generates power through the natural motion of your arm. If the watch has stopped or has not been worn for an extended period, it requires manual winding to initiate operation.

1. Ensure the crown is in its fully pushed-in position (position 0).
2. Rotate the crown clockwise approximately 30 times, or until a slight resistance is felt. This will provide sufficient power reserve to start the movement.
3. For optimal performance, wear the watch for at least 8 hours daily.

3.2 Setting the Time

To set the time on your PD-1796 watch:

1. Gently pull the crown out to its outermost position (position 1).
2. Rotate the crown in either direction to adjust the hour and minute hands to the correct time.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into its original, fully pushed-in position (position 0) to engage the movement and ensure water resistance.

4. Operating Your Watch

4.1 Automatic Movement Functionality

The PD-1796 utilizes an automatic mechanical movement, meaning it does not require a battery. The watch is powered by the kinetic energy generated by the natural motion of your wrist. When worn regularly, the internal rotor winds the mainspring, keeping the watch running accurately.

4.2 Reading the Dual Dial Display

This watch features a unique dual dial design:

• Upper Dial: Displays the current hour and minute using traditional hands.
• Lower Exposed Movement: Showcases the intricate workings of the mechanical movement, including the balance wheel, providing a continuous seconds indication through its motion.

4.3 Luminous Display

The hands on the upper dial feature a luminous coating, allowing for time readability in low-light conditions after exposure to light.

5. Maintenance and Care

5.1 Water Resistance (10ATM / 100 Meters)

Your Pagani Design PD-1796 watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters (10ATM). This means it is suitable for swimming, handwashing, and daily activities involving water exposure. The screw-down crown design enhances its water resistance.

• Important: Always ensure the crown is tightly closed and pushed in before any contact with water.
• Avoid Hot Water: Do not expose the watch to hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot showers, saunas). This can compromise the watch's seals and lead to internal damage.

5.2 Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch:

• Wipe the case and crystal with the provided microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and smudges.
• For more thorough cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

5.3 Strap Care

The PU leather strap is durable but requires care:

• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can cause the material to dry out or crack.
• Clean the strap with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow it to air dry completely.
• Use the included strap removal tool if you need to adjust or replace the strap.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Pagani Design PD-1796 watch, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Watch Not Running or Stopping Frequently:
  This is common for automatic watches if not worn regularly. Manually wind the watch by rotating the crown clockwise 30 times. Ensure you wear the watch for at least 8 hours daily to maintain its power reserve.
• Inaccurate Timekeeping:
  Ensure the watch is fully wound and worn consistently. If the issue persists after proper winding and wearing, contact customer support.
• Moisture Inside the Watch:
  If you notice condensation or moisture inside the watch, immediately pull out the crown to stop the movement and contact customer support. This indicates a breach in water resistance. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before water exposure.
• Loose Components:
  While rare, if you notice any loose components or screws, do not attempt to fix them yourself. Contact customer support for professional assistance.

For any issues not covered here, or if problems persist, please contact customer support.
