PREPARATION FOR USE

DATE ADJUSTMENT – TIME-SETTING

Pull the crown out to position 2, and turn it counterclockwise to adjust the calendar to the day prior to the activation date.
Pull the crown out to position 3. Turn the hands forward until the correct date jumps into place, at midnight. Then adjust the hour and minute.
Push the crown back into position 1.

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 consisting 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 ﬁtted with gaskets to ensure its water resistance. Under the inﬂuence of various external agents – perspiration, chlorinated or salt water, cosmetics, fragrances or dust – these gaskets gradually deteriorate. 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).
Breitling models are water-resistant to varying degrees. The extent of the water resistance, expressed in metres (M), is a standard value and does not indicate an absolute immersion depth. The crown and pushpieces must not under any circumstances be operated under water or when the watch is wet. The table below indicates the conditions in which your watch may reasonably be used, according to its degree of water resistance:

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 reﬁned materials and represent extremely high-quality products. Like all objects in natural skin (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. A metal or synthetic Breitling bracelet is thus better suited to activities involving frequent contact with water or moisture.
Breitling metal cases and bracelets are made from the ﬁ nest alloys and guarantee sturdiness and wearer comfort. Regular cleaning by rinsing and brushing in clean water will keep your watch shiny. This operation is strongly recommended after each immersion in salty or chlorinated water. For watches ﬁtted with a leather strap, the same advice applies, as well as avoiding getting the strap wet.

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 ﬁelds. Moreover, your Breitling chronometer is designed to run smoothly at temperatures ranging between 0°C and 50°C.
Please make sure to always stop and reset your chronograph function when not used, in order to preserve the battery life.

YOUR BREITLING CHRONOMETER
A chronometer is a high-precision time-keeping instrument that has successfully passed the entire battery of tests imposed by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute), a neutral and independent body which individually tests each movement according to the specifications in force.

STEP 1
Check whether the crown should be unscrewed (counterclockwise) before you carry out the following steps.

STEP 2
If the watch has no date aperture, pull the crown out to position 3. Set the hour and minute hands.
If the watch does have a date aperture, proceed as follows: pull the crown out to position 2. Turn it clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust it to the day before the activation date. Pull the crown out to position 3. Move the hands forwards until the correct date appears at midnight. Set the hour and minute hands.

STEP 3
Push the crown back into position 1. If you had to unscrew the crown in step 1, follow this final step: press the crown gently, turning it clockwise, then tighten it again until you feel some resistance. Do not force it!
