Breitling FAQs, daily use and care of your Breitling watch

Avoid magnetic fields

Do not expose your watch to any magnetic fields as they may interfere with the movement.


Avoid wearing bracelets

Avoid wearing a bracelet on the same wrist as your watch to prevent scratches or damage.


Do not wear while sleeping

Do not wear your watch when sleeping to avoid applying unnecessary pressure.


Avoid wearing during exercise

Do not wear your watch while playing golf, tennis or other sports to avoid damage to the movement.


Stay away from high temperature environments

Avoid exposing your watch to high temperature environments, such as steam baths, to prevent damage to internal components.


Automatic Watches

If you are wearing a self-winding mechanical watch, please have the strap adjusted by a professional to ensure optimal performance.


Cleaning and maintenance

Whether the watch is water resistant or not, it can be cleaned by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.


Waterproof

Even if a watch is certified water-resistant, its water resistance will decrease over time. Please check your watch regularly to ensure that it remains water-resistant.


Washing after swimming

After swimming, please rinse your watch carefully with clean water to avoid damage to the watch caused by sea water or chlorinated pool water.


Battery life

The battery life of a quartz watch is generally 2 to 3 years. It is recommended to have the battery replaced at an authorized service center to avoid leakage or corrosion.


Leather strap

Under normal wear, the leather strap has a lifespan of 24 months. Contact with water will accelerate wear and tear and requires prompt replacement.


Precision movement

The movement of a complex watch is very precise and requires the following maintenance advice:

  • Keep away from magnetic fields.

  • Do not adjust the time while an alarm is ringing or the calendar is updating.

  • Follow the movement's specific adjustment schedule.

  • When winding the watch, stop turning the crown as soon as you feel the mainspring is tightened.

  • Do not use the function buttons in water.

  • Avoid shock or large temperature changes.


Regular maintenance

To ensure the accuracy of your watch, regular maintenance is essential. Check the water resistance every 2 years and perform a comprehensive inspection every 5 years.


Processing magnetization

If the watch is magnetized, it should be demagnetized immediately to restore normal operation.

By following the above maintenance suggestions, your watch will be able to maintain good running condition for a long time and accompany you through every wonderful moment.


How to choose repair service?

It is very important to choose a professional watch repair service center. Professional technicians have rich experience and advanced equipment to provide comprehensive repair services, ensuring that every detail of the watch is properly handled. In addition, choosing a service center with a good reputation and credibility can also give you more peace of mind (such as our Ruigang Watch Repair Center).


In short, regular maintenance is the key to long-term operation and optimal condition. Understanding and following the officially recommended maintenance cycle and choosing professional maintenance services can keep your watch in the best condition at all times and accompany you through every important moment.
