WHY MAINTENANCE ?
Your Breitling watch is a sophisticated precision instrument which is constantly subjected to a wide variety of stresses and strains. In a very tight volume, numerous components are operating together and contribute in their own way to ensure all the time and chronograph functions. Wear and tear is the unavoidable result of any mechanical movement. Maintenance serves to control this phenomenon by renewing lubrication as well as replacing worn parts. For example, your movement is protected by a case fitted with gaskets to ensure its water resistance. Under the influence of various external elements, these gaskets progressively deteriorate and must be periodically replaced. Your watch must be regularly maintained in order to ensure it operates as efficiently as possible.
MAINTENANCE DESCRIPTION
The Authorized Breitling Service Centers offer two major services:
1. The Maintenance Service
The frequency of this operation mainly depends on how often you use your watch in water. It includes:
Mechanical Watch:
Balance wheel and escapement cleaning and lubrication, checking of the movement and the watch functions. Cleaning of case and metal bracelet, replacement of all gaskets and control of waterresistance.
Quartz Watch:
Battery replacement. Checking of all working parameters of the movement and the watch functions. Cleaning of case and metal bracelet, replacement of all gaskets and water-resistance control. An explanatory video is available at: www.breitling.com/service-quartz
2. The Overhaul
The frequency of this operation is about 4 to 6 years, but it can be influenced by the way the watch is used.
Mechanical or Quartz Watch:
Movement overhaul. Complete dismantling of the mechanism, cleaning, replacement of worn-out components, assembling, lubrication and adjustment of functions and daily rate. Exchange of battery on quartz watches. Refurbishing of case and metal bracelet, replacement of all gaskets and water-resistance control. An explanatory video is available at: www.breitling.com/service-chrono
Polishing (refurbishing) the case and bracelet restores the watch to its original appearance. It must only be done by a watchmaker specially trained in an authorized Breitling technical center. The above-mentioned maintenance procedures must be applied for each intervention, which is why
we strongly urge you to contact an officially authorized Breitling technical center. The complete list of authorized retailers and technical centers is available on our website www.breitling.com
The maintenance of your watch is the best way to protect your investment.
