Breitling Navitimer Serie Manual De Instrucciones página 14

The complex construction of the case used for Navitimer models, featuring
a design faithful to the vintage 1950s models, means they are not suited to
aquatic activities. The crown, pushpieces and bezel must under no circum-
stances be activated when the watch is damp. The water-resistance indica-
tion, expressed in bars, must be considered a safety factor, protecting your
chronometer from dust and splashing. Only watches that are water-resis-
tant to 5 or more bars should be subjected to repeated immersions.
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.
Breitling metal cases and bracelets are crafted from the finest alloys and
ensure sturdiness and wearer comfort. Regular cleaning with a soft damp
brush will keep your watch shiny. For watches fitted with a leather strap,
proceed in the same manner, taking care to avoid wetting the strap.

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 magne-
tic fields. Moreover, your Breitling chronometer is designed to run smoothly
at temperatures ranging between 0°C and 50°C.
