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 wristwatches with sprung balance oscillators,
according to the ISO 3159 norm, consists of observing each movement for
15 days and 15 nights, in 5 positions and at 3 different temperatures (8°, 23°C,
38°C). In order to earn the prestigious chronometer label, a movement’s
performances must meet 7 very strict criteria, including a daily variation in
rate ranging between only –4/+6 seconds.
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”.
PREPARING THE WATCH FOR USE
WINDING – TIME-SETTING
Nota bene: mechanical watches endowed with a date, day,
month or moon-phase indicator are equipped with a complex
mechanism that is set into motion between 8 pm and 3 am. It is
therefore vital to avoid adjusting the calendar or moving the
time backwards during this period.
1. Unscrew the water-resistant crown in an anti-clock-
wise direction. Wind the watch by 40 clockwise turns
of the crown.
2. Pull the crown out to position 2, turn it anti-clock-
wise to adjust the calendar to the day prior to the
date when it is set into operation.
3. Pull the crown out to position 3. Turn the hands so
as to make the calendar jump once when the hands
pass through midnight. Then adjust the hour and
minute.
4. Push the crown back to position 1. Press it gently,
turning it gently in a clockwise direction, then tigh-
ten it again until you feel some resistance. Do not
force!

SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS
SECOND TIMEZONE
The second, independent hour hand (A) makes a com-
plete sweep of the dial in 24 hours. Its position relati-
ve to the 24-hour markings inscribed on the dial rim
can serve as a second timezone indication. The hand is
reset by pulling the crown out of position 2 and rotat -
ing it clockwise.
24H BEZEL
The bidirectional rotating bezel features a 24-hour graduation that may be used
as a 3rd timezone. According to the hour previously selected as the 2nd timezo-
ne, simply line up the hour in the 3rd timezone indicated on the bezel with the
hand (A).

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
17
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.

N
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,
18
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.
