MAINTENANCE
Your B
r e it Lin g
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. t heir 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: we recommend a regular
service every two years, while the complete overhaul should be scheduled
about every five years. Your authorized B
r e it Lin g
dealer will be pleased to
handle this for you.
WATER-RESISTANCE
t he 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, fra-
grances or dust – these gaskets gradually deteriorate and must be regularly
replaced. if used intensively in water, we recommend that this be done
once a year as part of a service. if the watch is only occasionally used in
water, this operation may be carried out every two years. Moreover, a
WATER-RESISTANT PUSHPIECES
Your B
r e it Lin g
chronograph is equipped with magnetic pushpieces, a
patented B
r e it Lin g
proprietary device which enables you to activate the
chronograph controls without any direct contact between the pushpiece
and the movement. t he chronograph functions are guaranteed up to the
depth indicated on the caseback.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Used batteries and used watch components should
not be disposed in litters, but correctly recycled
according to local regulations. We recommend the
disposal of such parts via your watch dealer. You
will thereby contribute to environmental and public
health protection.
