MAINTENANCE
Your B
reItLIng
chronometer is a sophisticated instrument which is con-
stantly 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: we recommend a regular
service every two years, while the complete overhaul should be scheduled
about every five years. Your authorized B
reItLIng
dealer will be pleased to
handle this for you.
WATER-RESISTANCE
the movement of your chronometer is protected by a sophisticated case fitted
with water-resistance gaskets. Under the influence of certain external factors
such as perspiration, cosmetics, perfumes or dust, these gaskets progressively
deteriorate and must be periodically replaced, ideally every two years.
moreover, we recommend an annual water-resistance test, which takes only
a few minutes, performed by your authorized B
reItLIng
agent.
CONVERSION SCALE FOR WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
USED IN AVIATION
the scale engraved on the back of your watch allows you to convert five of
the weight and measurement units most commonly used in aviation.
Combined with the slide rule, it is a handy way of preparing a flight plan.
Example:
multiply the number of UK gallons by 1.20 to determine the
equivalent value in US gallons, or by 3.65 to obtain the mass or weight in
kg of such a volume.
Important note:
liquid to weight measurement conversions (Lb., Kg) relate
to Jet fuel (kerosene).
x gal. UK US gal. Liter Lb.* Kg*
gal. UK 1 1.20 4.54 8.05 3.65
US gal. 1/1.20 1 3.78 6.70 3.04
