  • Page 58 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.
  • Page 59 In particular, water, cosmetics and perspiration accelerate the aging process. A metal or synthetic Breitling bracelet/strap is thus better suited to activities involving frequent contact with water or humidity.
  • Page 60 Breitling metal cases and bracelets are made from the finest alloys and guarantee sturdiness and wearer comfort. Regular cleaning by rinsing and brushing in clear water will keep your watch shiny. This operation is strongly recommended after each immersion in salty or chlorinated water. For watches fitted with a leather strap, proceed in the same manner, while avoiding getting the strap wet.
