SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS
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 rela-
tion 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.

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 func-
tions. 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 meas-
urement instrument, your watch must be regularly maintained in order to
S
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 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. That is why water-
resistance cannot be permanently guaranteed. If used intensively in water,
we recommend having annual water-resistance check conducted. Whatever
the case, such an appraisal will be done every two years. This operation,
which takes only a few minutes, may be conducted by a Breitling authorized
maintenance center, or by an authorized retailer (www.Breitling.com).
