SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS

SUN COMPASS

Your Breitling chronometer may be used as a sun compass, thus enabling you to determine

North and South. For regions that have instated daylight saving time, subtract one hour

when aligning the watch.

In the Northern Hemisphere

Point the hour hand precisely towards the sun. In relation to the

watch dial, the point located midway between the current time and

12 o'clock indicates South, 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 North,

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 functions. Their mechanical action inevitably

leads to a certain amount of wear and tear, which may be controlled by maintenance con-

sisting of relubrication and replacing worn components. Like any precision measurement

instrument, 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 deterio-

rate. That is why water resistance cannot be permanently guaranteed. If used intensively

in water, we recommend 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).
