Only if either expressly stated below and/or communicated to you separately in the specific Breitling Boutique, certain Breitling Services may also be offered for purchase to Customer(s) via the Concierge Service of Breitling (“Concierge Service”) and/or within a dedicated Breitling Boutique, for which in either case the Terms of Sales for Services apply accordingly.

From time to time, Breitling may modify the Service Terms at its sole discretion.

Breitling will announce such modifications where required by law, but please also check our Website on a regular basis to be informed of any changes. If you do not wish to be bound by any announced amendments to the Terms of Sale, you should contact Breitling the Concierge Service to stop your interaction with us and refrain from making any online orders through the Website or the Concierge Service after the effective date of the changes.

These Service Terms may refer to additional terms and conditions and any other related terms of a specific service. To the extent that there is any conflict or inconsistency between these Service Terms and any additional terms, the additional terms will prevail.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for herein, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Breitling reserves the right to refuse, cancel, and terminate orders at any moment and at its sole reasonable discretion.

3.1 WARRANTY EXTENSION

Breitling is offering the Customer the possibility to purchase an extension of Breitling International Warranty and/or Breitling International Manufacture Movement Warranty on https://www.breitling.com/ch-zz/ (jointly referred to as “Breitling Warranty Extension”), covering your Breitling watch or chronograph against any manufacturing defect for an additional period of time as set out under the “EXTENDED INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY TERMS”, available on https://www.breitling.com/ch-zz/service/international-warranty/.

Breitling Warranty Extension is an additional service which you can only purchase for a Breitling watch and/or Chronograph which is still under valid Breitling International Warranty and/or Breitling International Manufacture Movement Warranty.

For the Warranty Extension, the price of the date of purchase, displayed to you at the check-out and confirmed by Breitling in your order confirmation email, applies.

3.2 INSURANCE FOR YOUR BREITLING PRODUCT

In several countries, Breitling is pleased to offer to you the option to purchase an insurance, covering your Breitling Product against different kind of risk (usually incl. damage, theft and loss, provided scope of coverage is not different for the insurance service offered in your specific country) (“Insurance Service”).
The Insurance Service, if available in your country, is offered by the third-party company available in your country of residence, which is independent of Breitling.

Breitling is working with duly selected third-party Insurance companies, that may change from one country to the other.

Hence, Breitling does not know and has no access to the information that a Customer may share with the third-party company in exploring the option of purchase of such Insurance Service.

Breitling is not responsible for any third-party services that a Customer may choose to employ in connection with their Breitling purchase. The Insurance Service is subject to their own terms and policies only.

Customers interested in exploring options to purchase an Insurance for their Breitling Product may visit the website of the third-party insurance company available in their country, to learn about the requirements and the specific terms that may apply.

By choosing the option to purchase the Insurance Services offered to you on Breitling website, you will be redirected to the website of the insurance company available in your country of residence, if any.

If available in your country of residence, the option to purchase Insurance Service will be shown to you on the dedicated page #BreitlingService which you can find here https://www.breitling.com/zz-zz/service/insurance/.

Watch model reference;
