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 renewing 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: the frequency of this operation varies according to actual
use. Breitling or your authorized retailer will be happy to handle the procedure.
S
WATER RESISTANCE
The movement of your chronometer is protected by a sophisticated case fi tted with water-
resistant gaskets. Under the infl uence of certain external factors such as perspiration,
chlorinated or salt water, cosmetics, perfumes or dust, these gaskets progressively
deteriorate. That is why water resistance cannot be permanently guaranteed, and the
gaskets must be periodically replaced, ideally every two years. We recommend having an
annual water-resistance check conducted. This operation, which takes only a few minutes,
may be conducted by a Breitling authorized maintenance centre, or by an authorized dealer
(www.breitling.com).
