PREPARING THE WATCH FOR USE

DATE ADJUSTMENT – TIME-SETTING

1. Pull the crown out to position 2 and turn the hour

forwards to adjust the date which jumps at mid-

night.

2. Pull the crown out to position 3 and adjust the hour

and the minute. To adjust the seconds, push the

crown back to position 2 and have it start again at

the time signal.

3. Push the crown back to position 1.

YOUR BREITLING CHRONOMETER

A chronometer is a high-precision instrument that has successfully passed the

entire battery of tests imposed by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer

Testing Institute), a neutral and independent body which individually tests

each movement according to the prescriptions in force.

The certification test for wristwatch chronographs with quartz oscillators

consists in observing each movement for 11 days and 11 nights, in several

positions and at 3 different temperatures (8º C, 23º C, 38º C). To earn the

prestigious chronometer label, a movement’s performances must meet 7 very

strict criteria, including a daily variation in rate of within ±0.07 seconds,

corresponding to an annual precision of ±25 seconds. The variation in rate

of the SUPERQUARTZ™ caliber fitted in your BREITLING watch far and above

exceeds these demands, achieving a rate of ±15 seconds a year.

The term “chronometer” should not be confused with that of “chronograph”,

which is a complicated watch fitted with an additional mechanism enabling

the measurement of the duration of an event. A chronograph is not neces-

sarily chronometer-certified, but all BREITLING chronographs carry the much-

coveted title of “chronometers”.

SUN COMPASS

Your BREITLING chronometer may be used as a sun compass, thus enabling

you to determine the Northerly-Southerly direction. For regions that have

instated daylight saving time, subtract one hour when directing the watch.

In the Northern hemisphere

Point the hour hand precisely towards the sun. In relation

to the watch dial, the point located midway between

the current time and 12 o’clock indicates the South, the

North being exactly opposite.

In the Southern hemisphere

Point the hour-marker located at 12 o’clock on the dial

precisely towards the sun. In relation to the watch dial,

the point located midway between the current time and

12 o’clock indicates the North, the South being exactly

opposite.

SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS

UNIDIRECTIONAL BEZEL WITH INDEX-MARKERS

The bezel of your watch is marked with 4 index-

markers: they are used as points of reference to mark

the time of departure or a limit time one wishes to

remember. On models with no chronograph func-

tions, they also serve as “minute chronograph”

enabling one to measure time elapsed in minutes.

For safety, the bezel can only turn counterclockwise.

Rider-tabs make it easier to rotate the bezel by giving

a better grip (especially when wearing gloves) and

additionally protect the glass.

MAINTENANCE

Your BREITLING chronometer is a sophisticated instrument which is

constantly subjected to a wide variety of stresses and strains. Within a very

small volume, a large number of components contribute to handling all the

functions. Their mechanical action inevitably leads to a certain amount of

wear and tear, which may be controlled by maintenance consisting of renew-

ing the lubrication and replacing worn components. Like any precision

measurement instrument, your watch must be regularly maintained in

order to function at its highest level of potential: we recommend a regular

service every two years, while the complete overhaul should be scheduled

about every five years. Your authorized BREITLING dealer will be pleased to

handle this for you.

WATER-RESISTANCE

The movement of your chronometer is protected by a complex case fitted

with gaskets to ensure its water-resistance. Under the influence of various

external agents – perspiration, chlorinated or salt water, cosmetics, fra-

grances or dust – these gaskets gradually deteriorate and must be regularly

replaced. If used intensively in water, we recommend that this be done

once a year as part of a service. If the watch is only occasionally used in

water, this operation may be carried out every two years. Moreover, a

BATTERY END-OF-LIFE INDICATOR (EOL)

The watch movement is fitted with a battery end-of-life detector, signalled

by the small seconds hands which begin to jump every 4 seconds. The bat-

tery must be replaced within the next few days by an authorized BREITLING

agent. Also ask for a water-resistance test to be performed on the watch.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Used batteries and used watch components

should not be disposed in litters, but correctly

recycled according to local regulations. We recom-

mend the disposal of such parts via your watch

dealer. You will thereby contribute to environ-

mental and public health protection.

water-resistance test should be done every year; it takes only a few minutes

and can be performed by your authorized BREITLING dealer.

BREITLING models are water-resistant to varying degrees. The extent of the

water-resistance, expressed in meters (M) is a standard value and does not

indicate an absolute depth of immersion. The crown and pushpieces must

not under any circumstances be operated under water or when the watch is

wet. The table below indicates the conditions in which your watch may rea-

sonably be used, according to its degree of water-resistance.

USEFUL TIPS

BREITLING genuine leather straps are crafted with the most refined

materials and represent extremely high-quality products. Like all objects in

natural skin (shoes, gloves, etc.), their length of life varies considerably,

according to the conditions in which they are worn. In particular, water,

cosmetics and perspiration accelerate the aging process. A metal or syn-

thetic BREITLING bracelet is thus better suited to activities involving fre-

quent contact with water or humidity.

BREITLING metal cases and bracelets are made from the finest alloys and

guarantee sturdiness and wearer comfort. Regular cleaning by rinsing and

brushing in clear water will keep your watch shiny. This operation is strong-

ly recommended after each immersion in salty or chlorinated water. For

watches fitted with a leather strap, proceed in the same manner, while

avoiding getting the strap wet.

WHAT TO AVOID

Like any valuable objects, BREITLING chronometers deserve special care. It

is important to protect them from jarring and knocks by hard objects, and

not to expose them to chemical products, solvents, dangerous gases, or

magnetic fields. Moreover, your BREITLING chronometer is designed to run

smoothly at temperatures ranging between 0°C and 50°C.
