Breitling movements
Your Breitling watch or chronograph equipped with a non-Breitling mechanical movement is warranted against any manufacturing defect for a period of two years (“Breitling International Warranty”) from the date of purchase of the watch (“Warranty Period”) in accordance with these terms and conditions.
MECHANICAL MANUFACTURE BREITLING MOVEMENTS
Watches or chronographs equipped with a Breitling Manufacture mechanical movement are covered by the Breitling International Warranty with an extended warranty period of 5 (five) years (“Breitling International Manufacture Movement Warranty”).

HOW CAN I TELL IF MY WATCH HAS A BREITLING MANUFACTURE MECHANICAL MOVEMENT?
Check the model number on the case back of your watch.
If the second letter is a B and the next 2 numbers are between 01 and 35 (B01 to B35), your watch has a Breitling Manufacture mechanical movement.
