YOUR BREITLING CHRONOMETER
A chronometer is a high-precision instrument that has successfully passed
the entire battery of tests imposed by the COSC (Swiss Offi cial Chronometer
Testing Institute), a neutral and independent body which individually tests
each movement according to the prescriptions in force.
The certifi cation test for wristwatch chronographs with quartz oscillators
consists in observing each movement for 13 days and 13 nights, in several
positions and at 3 different temperatures (8°C, 23°C, 38°C). To earn the
prestigious chronometer label, a movement's performances must meet 6
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™ calibre fitted in your Breitling watch far and above
exceeds these demands, achieving a level of ±15 seconds per year.
The term "chronometer" should not be confused with that of "chronograph",
which is a complicated watch fitted with an additional mechanism used for
measuring the duration of an event. A chronograph is not necessarily chro-
nometer-certified, but all Breitling chronographs carry the much-coveted
title of "chronometer".
