Maintenance - Breitling Navitimer Serie Manual De Instrucciones

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 volu-
me, 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 measure-
ment 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 sophisticated case fit-
ted with water-resistance gaskets. Under the influence of certain external
factors such as perspiration, cosmetics, perfumes or dust, these gaskets pro-
gressively deteriorate. That is why water-resistance cannot be permanently
guaranteed and the gaskets must be periodically replaced, ideally every two
years. We recommend having annual water-resistance check conducted.
This operation, which takes only a few minutes, may be conducted by a
Breitling authorized maintenance center, or by an authorized dealer
(www.Breitling.com).
