Extract from the archives

Want to know more about the history of your Breitling watch?

You can request an Extract from the Archives, a document that provides historical details such as the year of manufacture, case material, reference number, and other relevant information about your Breitling watch.

To be eligible, your watch must date from 1946 to 1979, and the request form below must be completed in full.
If your watch qualifies, you’ll receive a payment link and additional information via email. The evaluation process may take up to one month.

The Extract from the Archives is issued solely based on the information provided by the applicant, including the case serial number, and is prepared without any physical inspection of the watch by Breitling. It does not constitute a certificate of authenticity, a warranty, proof of ownership, or confirmation of the watch’s current condition.

In addition, orders are final and non-refundable due to the personalized nature of the service. For full details, please refer to our Terms and Conditions for Additional Services.
