2.2 Remontage de la montre

Your Breitling Bentley B06 S is equipped with a self-winding automatic movement. Before wearing for the first time, or if the watch has stopped, it is recommended to manually wind it. To do so:

1. Unscrew the crown (if it is a screw-down crown) by turning it counter-clockwise.
2. Tirez la couronne jusqu'à la position 1.
3. Turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. This will provide sufficient power reserve to start the movement.
4. Push the crown back in and screw it down clockwise until it is firmly sealed against the case (if applicable).

2.3 Réglage de l'heure

Pour régler l'heure :

1. Unscrew the crown (if applicable) and pull it out to position 2 (the outermost position). The seconds hand will stop.
2. Turn the crown to move the hour and minute hands clockwise or counter-clockwise until the correct time is displayed. Ensure you differentiate between AM and PM when setting the date.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into position 0 and screw it down firmly (if applicable).

2.4 Réglage de la date

Pour régler la date:

1. Dévissez la couronne (le cas échéant) et tirez-la en position 1.
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the movement) to advance the date until the correct date is displayed. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement's date mechanism.
3. Once the date is set, push the crown back into position 0 and screw it down firmly (if applicable).

3. Mode d'emploi

3.1 Fonction chronographe

The chronograph allows for precise measurement of elapsed time. The watch features two pushers on the side of the case, typically at 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock.

• Commencer: Press the top pusher (at 2 o'clock) to start the chronograph seconds hand.
• Stop: Press the top pusher again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time can be read from the central chronograph seconds hand and the minute/hour subdials.
• Remise à zéro: After stopping, press the bottom pusher (at 4 o'clock) to reset all chronograph hands to zero. The chronograph must be stopped before resetting.

3.2 Slide Rule Bezel

The bidirectional rotating bezel features a circular slide rule, a signature Breitling feature, allowing for various calculations. It consists of a fixed scale on the dial (inner scale) and a rotating scale on the bezel (outer scale).

Pour effectuer des calculs :

1. Multiplication: Align the '10' on the outer scale with the first number on the inner scale. Read the product on the inner scale opposite the second number on the outer scale.
2. Division: Align the divisor on the outer scale with the dividend on the inner scale. Read the quotient on the inner scale opposite the '10' on the outer scale.
3. Speed/Distance/Fuel Consumption: Specific markings and methods are available for these calculations. Refer to specialized Breitling slide rule guides for detailed instructions on these advanced functions.

4. Entretien et maintenance

4.1 Nettoyage

Pour préserver l'apparence de votre montre, nettoyez régulièrement le boîtier et le bracelet en métal avec un chiffon doux et sec.amp cloth. For leather straps, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. Ensure the crown is fully screwed down before cleaning.

4.2 Résistance à l'eau

Your watch has a specified water resistance rating. Always ensure the crown and pushers are fully screwed down (if applicable) before exposing the watch to water. Avoid operating the pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance.

4.3 Service Intervals

For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to have your Breitling watch serviced by an authorized service center every 3-5 years. Regular servicing ensures the movement is lubricated, seals are replaced, and the watch's accuracy and water resistance are maintained.

5. Dépannage

• La montre s'est arrêtée : If the watch has not been worn for an extended period, manually wind it as described in Section 2.2. If the issue persists after winding and wearing, the watch may require servicing.
• Date inchangée : Ensure the time is set correctly, passing through midnight to advance the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM. If the date mechanism is stuck, do not force it; seek professional assistance.
• Aiguilles du chronographe ne se remettant pas à zéro : This may indicate a need for adjustment or servicing. Do not attempt to force the pushers.
• Condensation sous le cristal : Cela indique une perte d'étanchéité. Apportez immédiatement la montre à un centre de service agréé afin d'éviter d'autres dommages au mouvement.
