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
S
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 sophisticated case
fitted with water-resistant gaskets. Under the influence 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).
