Check the reference on the caseback of your watch.

When you purchase a new Breitling watch through the official Breitling Online Boutique, your electronic warranty will display "Breitling Online Boutique" as the retailer.

The serial number is an identification number that allows you to identify your watch.
Since the year 2000, this number is unique for each Breitling watch. You can find it on the documents handed to you with the watch at purchase, like the International Warranty certificate, or on the case-back of your watch:

A reference number uniquely identifies each watch model, including its design, movement, and features.

You can find the reference number on the documents provided at the time of purchase, such as the International Warranty certificate, or engraved on the case-back of your watch.

The movement of a quartz watch is powered by a battery; it is driven and regulated by a quartz crystal and an electronic oscillator.
The current Breitling quartz models are all fitted with a thermocompensated SUPERQUARTZ TM movement, containing a temperature gauge thus offering its user a precision of +/- 15 seconds a year; their integrated circuit contains no less than 8’000 components.

The movement of a mechanical watch is driven by a spring, called the mainspring, which needs to be wound. This can either be done manually, using the crown, or, in the case of an automatic mechanical watch, by using the kinetic energy provided by the wearer’s movements. All current Breitling watches are Chronometer certified and comply with the standard set by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres – COSC), which allows a maximum deviation of -4 to +6 seconds per day.

A chronograph is a watch with stopwatch functions, enabling the measurement of the duration of an event, using a specific hand or display that can be started, stopped and returned to zero.

A chronometer is a watch that has obtained a certification by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres – COSC). To achieve this certification, the movement of the watch must successfully pass specific precision tests in different positions and at different temperatures, over a 15-day period. The standards set by the COSC allow a maximum average deviation of : -4 to +6 seconds per day for mechanical watches and +/- 0.07 seconds per day for quartz watches. The movements of all current Breitling watches have earned this certification.

Watches produced before the year 2000 might in certain cases comply with these standards as well, especially if they have been serviced regularly - see our service recommendations.

The water resistance of your Breitling depends on the construction of its case. However your watch needs to be regularly serviced in order to keep its original level of water resistance: this is due to the fact that the gaskets sealing the watch-case naturally dry out over time, and therefore need to be replaced. Consequently your watch should undergo a water resistance test every year and a maintenance service every 2 years.

The degree of water resistance of your Breitling is described either in meters, or in bars (1 bar~10 m = approx. 33 ft). Note: these figures reflect a technical norm and do not represent the exact depth the watch can be immersed at, while being worn. “Water resistant up to X meters” means the watch can be exposed to the pressure that it would have to sustain, if it was placed at X meters depth in a completely static environment and position. However, the wearer’s movements (diving, jumping, swimming, etc…) as well as the force of the water (shower jets, river currents, etc…) can considerably increase the pressure on your watch.

For more details on the level of water resistance you can expect of your watch, please go to the Information on Water Resistance page.

To authenticate your Breitling watch, it must be sent to one of our Breitling Main Centers. Begin by sending your watch to any Breitling service center or by bringing it into a Breitling Boutique, requesting a Certificate of Authenticity, and your watch will be passed on accordingly. Fees and return times will vary.

An authentication includes the analysis of the watch and the delivery of a Certificate of Authenticity. If non-compliant parts need to be exchanged to return the watch to its original condition, these will be invoiced separately.

Breitling service centers and boutiques do not assess the value of your timepiece.

You are welcome to send your watch directly to one of our service centers or to drop it off at any authorized Breitling retailer. All boutiques, authorized retailers and service centers are listed on the Stores page.
