Breitling COLT SKYRACER Manual Del Usuario página 12

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 M/165 FT 10 bar/100 M/330 FT 50 bar/500 M/1650 FT+
Splashing
Shower, swimming, surface water sports
Water-skiing, dives, snorkelling
Diving
USEFUL TIPS
Breitling genuine leather straps are crafted with the most refi ned 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. ln 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 sturdiness 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
fi tted 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
fi elds. Moreover, your Breitling chronometer is designed to run smoothly at
temperatures ranging between 0°C and 50°C.
