Panzera watches are made in Australia or Switzerland depending on the watch model. All parts are manufactured in Germany except for the movement (Japan or Switzerland) and the straps. Our watches are designed, assembled, quality tested and despatched from our Sydney workshop, apart from the Swiss collections which are made in our workshop in Ticino Switzerland.

Watch Operation Guide

No, as a general rule it is advisable to avoid wearing your watch in the shower.

The steam produced by hot showers adversely affects the rubber case seals (gaskets) and increases the possibility of condensation and water penetrating the watch case which can cause permanent damage to the movement and watch. It will also reduce the longevity and general effectiveness of the rubber watch seals (gaskets).

Many of the PANZERA watch models use a screw down crown to ensure added water resistance as well as reduce the possibility of damage to the crown and crown stem. For these models it is critical that the crown is always screwed firmly into the case when not adjusting the time or powering the watch.

To power your watch, use the crown (winder knob) by rotating it in a clockwise direction at least 40 full rotations for full power equivalent to approximately 40 hours of continuous operation. You cannot over power the watch so it is ok to continue winding beyond 40 rotations.

If you wear your watch throughout the day the automatic rotor contained in your watch movement will rotate with the movement of your wrist. This gentle movement of the automatic rotor will ensure that the power in your watch is maintained to at least the level that you achieved by winding the watch with the crown.

Yes depending on the model you have. An automatic watch winder is a box that is used to automatically rotate your watch when it is not being worn to maintain the accumulated level of power inside the watch. It is only for watches that have an automatic movement.

Any PANZERA watch that has an automatic movement can we wound on a watch winder. We recommend setting the winder to bi-directional winding with around 600 rotations per day.

Never change the Date setting on a mechanical watch between 11pm – 3:30am as the date wheel inside your watch movement has begun the cycle of moving to the next day. Changes during this time can cause permanent damage to the movement and is not covered under warranty. For this reason it is also recommended to avoid time changes during this period where possible. Always ensure when adjusting the time that you move the hands in a forward (clock-wise) direction.

All PANZERA watches are water resistant. Refer to the back of your watch to identify the water resistant level of your watch shown in ATM (atmospheres). For further information about the water resistance capabilities of your watch refer to your user manual or visit or user manual page: User Manuals

A mechanical automatic watch is a precise instrument and contains many delicate moving parts. Therefore it is not advisable to wear a mechanical watch when carrying out sport or other activities where there is the possibility of prolonged vibration or sudden impact. These factors can cause permanent damage to the watch movement.

Our quartz models are better suited to action sports activities due to the much smaller number of moving parts.

Avoid contact with electro magnetic fields such as clock radios, stereo speakers, microwave ovens and other items that produce magnetic fields as they can interfere with the accuracy of your watch and in some cases cause permanent damage to the movement.

If your watch is running noticeably fast it is possible that it has come into contact with an electro-magnetic field. In this situation please follow the steps below to rectify this issue:

  • Allow the watch to fully power down.
  • Reset the time and fully power the watch
  • Observe the time over the next 1-2 days

If the issue is not resolved after following the above procedure the watch can be de-magnetised by any reputable watch repairer. The process to professionally demagnetise a watch is very simple and takes about 30 seconds to 1 minute to perform. The watch should then be observed for at least one day to test.

Your PANZERA watch uses Super-Luminova paint on the hands and indexes to glow at night. This needs to be charged by shining a light source to make it glow. When charged it should continue to glow. for around 5-8 hours.

The multilink integrated metal strap is normally supplied too large for most wrists and will need to have links removed to fit correctly. It important to note that for adjusting the strap:

  • The pins are bi-directional and can be removed from either side of the strap.
  • We recommend you have the strap adjusted by a watch maker or jeweller to avoid potentially damaging or scratching the strap.
  • If you do adjust it yourself please ensure you use the correct pin press.
  • Additional links and half links are available upon request to assist you with sizing if needed.
