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 (8°C, 23°C, 38°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 necessarily chronometer-certified, but all BREITLING chronographs carry the much-coveted title of "chronometers".

General handling principle

The different functions are selected by rotating the crown. The latter has two axial positions: neutral (1) and pulled out (2).

(1)

In the neutral position, rotating the crown enables you to move from one function to another. The crown may be turned forwards (clockwise) or backwards (anti-clockwise).

A brief push on the crown lights up the two digital displays for around 6 seconds. The seconds hand then stops momentarily as an energy-saving measure.

N.B. The type of display used is compatible with night vision goggles.

The watch has two pushpieces (A and B) whose action is linked to the function selected. According to the desired action, the wearer should press the appropriate one

briefly

or

hold it for 2 to 3 seconds.

Pushpiece A: selection of special functions AM/PM, ON/OFF, START/STOP

Crown: backlighting of display by pressing, selection of functions by rotation (position 1); functions setting or choice of language by rotation (position 2).

Pushpiece B: selection of digits for setting operations (H-MIN-SEC), audible confirmation signals, alarm tests.

SELECTION AND ADJUSTMENT OF FUNCTIONS

1. Synchronization of analog and digital display

The time indicated by analog display (hands) and that indicated by digital display must be perfectly synchronized. Should the two displays become desynchronized (battery change, shock) the analog display (hands) must be adjusted to the digital indication as follows:

Select the neutral position then pull crown out to position 2.

Press pushpiece B briefly: the hours, minutes and seconds (H, MIN and SEC) of the display each flash in turn.

The respective synchronization of analog H, MIN and SEC (hands) is done by rotating the crown. N.B. The SEC only move clockwise. Push the crown back in to position 1.

2. Setting the time

Select the TIME function, then pull the crown out to position 2.

The time may be displayed in 24H or AM/PM mode by briefly pressing pushpiece A. In AM/PM mode, the upper display may be suppressed by pressing A.

Press pushpiece B briefly: the hours, minutes and seconds (H, MIN and SEC) of the display flash in turn.

Respective adjustments of H, MIN and SEC are made by rotating the crown. Push the crown back to position 1.

3. Alarm

ON/OFF alarm indication.

A. Single short time measurement

Chronograph started.

Chronograph stopped: upper display indicates the measurement to the nearest 1/100th of a second and alternatively (ADD), the number of days elapsed.

Return-to-zero.

B. Short time measurement with split time

Chronograph started.

Split time (SPL).

The chronograph catches up with the time elapsed since the stop.

Chronograph stopped (ADD).

Return-to-zero.

C. Synchronization of seconds hand

If the seconds hand is not precisely positioned at 12 o'clock in CHR mode, pull the crown out to position 2 and turn forwards to reposition the hand at 12 o'clock. Push the crown back in to position 1.

6. Countdown timer

Start, stop.

Recall of previously selected time.

Adjustment

Select TM function, then pull crown out to position 2.

The days (max. 99 days) on the upper display flash and pressing pushpiece B briefly makes the H, MIN and SEC on the lower display flash in turn.

The respective adjustments of the days, H, MIN and SEC is done by rotating the crown. Push the crown back to position 1.

7. Second timezone

The respective adjustments of H and MIN on the alarm are done by rotating the crown. Push the crown back to position 1.

The alarm can be stopped by pressing one of the pushpieces or the crown.

9. UTC universal time

UTC universal time (Universal Time Coordinated) is intended to harmonize worldwide air traffic. It corresponds to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

Adjustment

Select UTC function, then pull crown out to position 2.

Press pushpiece B briefly: the H and MIN on the display flash in turn.

Their respective adjustments can be done by rotating the crown. N.B. Minutes are corrected in 15-minute increments. Push crown back to position 1.

10. Choice of audible confirmation signals

Four modes of audible signals may be programmed:

Select TONL function. Lower display empty: no audible signal.

P appears in lower display: audible confirmation signal each time pushpieces are pressed.

P-H appears in lower display: audible confirmation each time pushpieces are pressed + hour pips.

P-C appears in lower display: audible confirmation signal each time pushpieces are pressed + hour pips for time being measured.

BEZEL COMPASS SCALE

By indicating the four points of the compass and the courses, this bezel fulfils several navigational functions.

1. Course memory

This function enables the pilot to "memorize" the course to be followed by placing the latter opposite the hour-marker at 12 o'clock.

1. Indication of the opposite course

It also enables the user to instantly read off the return direction, shown opposite the course followed on the outbound flight.

BATTERY END-OF-LIFE INDICATOR (EOL)

This watch's movement includes a battery end-of-life (EOL) warning system, signalled by the digital readout's flashing mode. The battery must be replaced within the next few days by an authorized BRETLING agent. Also ask for a water-resistance test to be performed on the watch.

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: 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, fragrances 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 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 reasonably be used, according to its degree of water-resistance.

ACTIVITIES / DEGREE OF WATER-RESISTANCE	30am/30M/100FT 50am/50M/165FT 100am/100M/330FT 500am/500M/1650FT+
Splashing
Shower, swimming, surface water sports
Water-skiing, dives, snorkeling
Diving

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 synthetic BREITLING bracelet is thus better suited to activities involving frequent 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 strongly 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.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Used batteries and used watch components should not be disposed in litters, but correctly recycled according to local regulations. We recommend the disposal of such parts via your watch dealer. You will thereby contribute to environmental and public health protection.
