Care, maintenance, and longevity tips

To keep this Breitling running at its best, wipe the case and crystal regularly to remove fingerprints and oils. Avoid prolonged magnetic exposure, which can affect accuracy, and service the movement per Breitling’s recommendations to preserve chronometer performance. If you opt for the alligator strap, rotate straps to minimize wear and maintain leather with appropriate care products. Remember: while the watch is water resistant to 30 meters, it’s best not to swim with it unless the strap is securely fastened and you’re in shallow conditions.
