Breitling NAVITIMER B01 CHRONOGRAPH Serie Instrucciones De Uso página 59

The complex construction of the case used for Navitimer models, featuring a design faithful
to the vintage 1950s model, means that they are not suited to aquatic activities. The crown,
pushpieces and bezel must under no circumstances be operated when the watch is wet.
The water resistance indication, expressed in bars, must primarily be considered a safety
factor, protecting your chronometer from dust and splashing. Only watches that are water-
resistant to 5 bars or more should be subjected to repeated immersions.
If your watch is equipped with a screw-lock crown, ensure that this is locked before any
use in water. This also applies to screw-lock pushpieces.
USEFUL TIPS
Breitling genuine leather straps are crafted with the most refi ned materials and represent
extremely high-quality products. Like all objects in natural hide (shoes, gloves, etc.), their
length of life varies considerably, according to the conditions in which they are worn. ln
particular, water, cosmetics and perspiration accelerate the ageing process.
Breitling metal cases and bracelets are crafted from the fi nest alloys and ensure sturdiness
and wearer comfort. Regular cleaning with a soft damp brush will keep your watch shiny.
For watches fi tted with a leather strap, proceed in the same manner, taking care to avoid
wetting the strap.

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 fi elds. Moreover, your Breitling
chronometer is designed to run smoothly at temperatures ranging between 0°C and 50°C.
