VOTRE CHRONOMÉTRE BREITLING

A chronometer is a high-precision instrument that has successfully passed the entire battery of tests imposed by COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute), a neutral and independent body which individually tests each movement according to the prescriptions in force.

The certificat ion test for wristwatches with sprung balance oscillators, according to standard ISO 3159, consists of observing each movement for 15 days and 15 nights, in 5 positions and at 3 different temperatures [8^,23^,38^] . 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 for measurement of the duration of an event. A chronograph is not necessarily chronometer-certified, but all Breitling chronographs bear the much-coveted title of "chronometer".

PREPARATION FOR USE

WINDING-TIME-SETTING

NB: mechanical watches with a date indicator window are equipped with a complex mechanism that is set into motion between 8 pm and 3 am. Its is therefore vital to avoid adjusting the calendar or moving the time backwards during this period.

1. Unscrew the water-resistant crown anti-clockwise. Wind the watch through approximately 40 clockwise turns of the crown.

1. Pull the crown out to position 2, turn it counterclockwise to adjust the calendar to the day prior to the activation date.

1. Pull the crown out to position 3. Turn the hands past midnight so as to make the calendar jump to the correct date. Then adjust the hour and minute.

1. Push the crown back to position 1. Press it gently, turning it gently clockwise, then tighten it again until you feel some resistance. Do not force!

SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS

SECOND TIME ZONE

The second, independent hour hand (A) makes a complete sweep of the dial in 24 hours. Its position indicates the 2^nd time zone on the dial rim. The hand can be adjusted by pulling the crown out to position 2, and rotating it clockwise.

TAB BEZEL

The bezel of your watch is fitted with 4 hour-markers called rider-tabs: they are used as points of reference to mark a start time or a limit time you wish to remember. On models without a chronograph, they also provide a "minute chronograph" function enabling you to measure time elapsed in minutes.

Rider-tabs make it easier to rotate the bezel by giving a better grip (especially when wearing gloves) and additionally protect the glass.

24H BEZEL

The bi-directional rotating bezel features a 24-hour graduation that may be used as a 3rd time zone. Depending on the hour previously selected as the 2nd time zone, you need simply line up the 3rd time zone hour indicated on the bezel with the hand [A].

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 reubrication 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.

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. That is why water resistance cannot be permanently guaranteed. If used intensively in water, we recommend having an annual water resistance check conducted. In any event, such an appraisal must be done every two years. This operation, which takes only a few minutes, may be conducted by a Breitling authorized maintenance centre, or by an authorized retailer [www.breitling.com].

Breitling models are water-resistant to varying degrees. The extent of the water resistance, expressed in metres [M], is a standard value and does not indicate an absolute immersion depth. 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	3 bar/30 M/100 FT	5 bar/50 N/165 FT	10 bar/100 N/330 FT	50 bar/500 M/1650 FT+
Splashing	✓	✓	✓	✓
Shower, swimming, surface water sports		✓	✓	✓
Water-skiing, dives, snorkelling			✓	✓
Diving				✓

If your watch is equipped with a screw-lock crown, ensure that this is locked before any use in water. This also applies to screw-lock pushpieces.

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 ageing process. A metal or

synthetic Breitling bracelet is thus better suited to activities involving frequent contact with water or moisture.

Breitling metal cases and bracelets are made from the fi nest alloys and guarantee sturdyness and wearer comfort. Regular cleaning by rinsing and brushing in clean 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, the same advice applies, as well as 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^ and 50^ .
