PREPARING THE WATCH FOR USE
DATE ADJUSTMENT – TIME-SETTING
1. Pull the crown out to position 2 and turn the hour
forwards to adjust the date which jumps at mid-
night.
2. Pull the crown out to position 3 and adjust the hour
and the minute. To adjust the seconds, push the
crown back to position 2 and have it start again at
the time signal.
3. Push the crown back to position 1.
YOUR BREITLING CHRONOMETER
A chronometer is a high-precision 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 prescriptions in force.
The certification test for wristwatch chronographs with quartz oscillators
consists in observing each movement for 11 days and 11 nights, in several
positions and at 3 different temperatures (8º C, 23º C, 38º C). To earn the
prestigious chronometer label, a movement’s performances must meet 7 very
strict criteria, including a daily variation in rate of within ±0.07 seconds,
corresponding to an annual precision of ±25 seconds. The variation in rate
of the SUPERQUARTZ™ caliber fitted in your BREITLING watch far and above
exceeds these demands, achieving a rate of ±15 seconds a year.
The term “chronometer” should not be confused with that of “chronograph”,
which is a complicated watch fitted with an additional mechanism enabling
the measurement of the duration of an event. A chronograph is not neces-
sarily chronometer-certified, but all BREITLING chronographs carry the much-
coveted title of “chronometers”.

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 relation
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.

SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS
UNIDIRECTIONAL BEZEL WITH INDEX-MARKERS
The bezel of your watch is marked with 4 index-
markers: they are used as points of reference to mark
the time of departure or a limit time one wishes to
remember. On models with no chronograph func-
tions, they also serve as “minute chronograph”
enabling one to measure time elapsed in minutes.
For safety, the bezel can only turn counterclockwise.
Rider-tabs make it easier to rotate the bezel by giving
a better grip (especially when wearing gloves) and
additionally protect the glass.

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 renew-
ing the lubrication 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: we recommend a regular
service every two years, while the complete overhaul should be scheduled
about every five years. Your authorized BREITLING dealer will be pleased to
handle this for you.
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, fra-
grances or dust – these gaskets gradually deteriorate and must be regularly
replaced. If used intensively in water, we recommend that this be done
once a year as part of a service. If the watch is only occasionally used in
water, this operation may be carried out every two years. Moreover, a

BATTERY END-OF-LIFE INDICATOR (EOL)
The watch movement is fitted with a battery end-of-life detector, signalled
by the small seconds hands which begin to jump every 4 seconds. The bat-
tery must be replaced within the next few days by an authorized BREITLING
agent. Also ask for a water-resistance test to be performed on the watch.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Used batteries and used watch components
should not be disposed in litters, but correctly
recycled according to local regulations. We recom-
mend the disposal of such parts via your watch
dealer. You will thereby contribute to environ-
mental and public health protection.
water-resistance test should be done every year; it takes only a few minutes
and can be performed by your authorized BREITLING dealer.
BREITLING models are water-resistant to varying degrees. The extent of the
water-resistance, expressed in meters (M) is a standard value and does not
indicate an absolute depth of immersion. 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 rea-
sonably be used, according to its degree of water-resistance.
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. In particular, water,
cosmetics and perspiration accelerate the aging process. A metal or syn-
thetic BREITLING bracelet is thus better suited to activities involving fre-
quent contact with water or humidity.
BREITLING metal cases and bracelets are made from the finest alloys and
guarantee sturdiness and wearer comfort. Regular cleaning by rinsing and
brushing in clear water will keep your watch shiny. This operation is strong-
ly recommended after each immersion in salty or chlorinated water. For
watches fitted with a leather strap, proceed in the same manner, while
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.
