Water-Resistance - Breitling EXOSPACE B55 YACHTING Manual De Instrucciones

MAINTENANCE
Your Breitling chronometer is a sophisticated instrument that 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 renew ing 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.

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
annual water-resistance check conducted. Whatever the case, such an appraisal
will be done every two years. This operation, which takes only a few minutes, may
be conducted by a Breitling authorized maintenance center, or by an authorized
retailer (www.Breitling.com).
