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 relubrication
and replacing worn components. Like any precision measurement instru-
ment, your watch must be regularly maintained in order to function at its
highest level of potential: the frequency of this operation varies according
to actual use. Breitling or your authorized retailer will be happy to handle
the procedure.

WATER RESISTANCE

The movement of your chronometer is protected by a complex case fi tted
with gaskets to ensure its water resistance. Under the infl uence of various
external agents - perspiration, chlorinated or salt water, cosmetics, fragrances
or dust - these gaskets gradually deteriorate. That is why water resistance
cannot be permanently guaranteed. If used intensively in water, we recom-
mend having an annual water resistance check conducted. In any event, such
an appraisal must be done every two years. This operation, which takes only
a few minutes, may be conducted by a Breitling authorized maintenance
centre, or by an authorized retailer (www.breitling.com).
