About the Breitling watch brand
Breitling was founded in Grenchen, Switzerland by Léon Breitling in 1884. In 1905 Léon Breitling patented a simple timer/tachymeter that could measure any speed between 15 and 150 km/h, the Vitesse, which allowed drivers (and then police) to calculate the speed at which the car was travelling.
When he passed away in 1904, he left the company to his son Gaston. Continuing to grow the brand, Gaston, in 1915 launched one of the world’s first wrist chronographs with a separate push-piece above the watch crown. In 1923, he patented a pocket watch which had two chronograph pushers. The pusher in the 2 o’clock position was used for starting and stopping, while the other, integrated into the crown, reset the chronograph mechanism. It was, therefore, possible to measure various times.
The Breitling Navitimer, one of Breitling’s most famous watches, was launched in 1952. Its name coming from a mix of the words navigator and timer. Within the same decade, the SuperOcean was launched as was the TransOcean. During the next decade, another important watch was produced, the world’s first micro-rotor automatic chronograph, the Chrono-Matic.
Since the 1960s Breitling has undergone changes within the company, including ownership, yet it is still one of the worlds best know and best-loved watches.

Breitling maintenance and care tips
BREITLING WATCH SERVICE INTERVAL
It’s recommended by Breitling that your watch has a maintenance service every 2 years and a complete service every 4-6 years, though this will change depending on the amount of stress the watch undergoes.
A luxury watch was crafted to last a lifetime using skills that have been developed over 500 years. However, luxury watches do need regular servicing to keep the delicate instrument working as it should. A watch service aims to return the item in its original working order using our specialist knowledge and equipment.
BREITLING BATTERY LIFE
Batteries in Breitling watches should last for up to three years. It is crucial to the longevity of your Breitling watch that you immediately replace the battery if you suspect it has died. Dead battery cells can harm the watch movement if left unattended.
WATER RESISTANCE
All Breitling products have a degree of waterproofing (or “water resistance”). The note “Water-resistant to XX m” does not mean that the watch can be worn to this depth. It merely indicates that the watch will resist pressure equivalent to a static immersion up to XX m deep.
If your Breitling watch is immersed in chlorinated or saltwater, rinse it immediately under a low stream of tap water and dry it with a clean cloth. Failure to do this can result in the delicate mechanism corroding.
BREITLING WATCH CLEANING
Sweat and dust on your Breitling watch strap can irritate the skin, and after some time may cause the steel to oxidise. Prevent this by periodically cleaning the watch with a toothbrush and liquid soap. If your watch has a leather strap do not allow the strap to get wet, if this happens dry it immediately with an absorbent cloth.
BREITLING LEATHER STRAP CARE
High-quality leather needs the correct care and attention to maintain its beauty and function. Avoid getting your Breitling leather watch strap wet from water, cosmetics and chemicals. Overexposure to the sun may also damage the appearance of the leather.
Leather watch straps do not react well to water. If you are planning to wear your Breitling watch in humid and damp environments, it’s recommended you wear a watch with a steel or rubber strap.
TEMPERATURE
Avoid exposing your Breitling watch to rapid changes in temperature. When not being worn, keep your watch in a cool, dry place and stay out of direct sunlight as this can damage the movement if exposed to temperatures above 60 degrees.
CROWN
The crown, which is used to change the hands/date, should always be adequately pushed in and/or screwed in at all times. This prevents the infiltration of water or dust.
WATCH SHOCKS
Avoid knocks and bumps as scratching may eventually affect the case and bracelet. If you are about to undertake heavy physical work, remove your Breitling watch first.
