About Breitling

Breitling is a Swiss luxury watchmaker based in Grenchen, Switzerland. The company was founded in 1884 by Léon Breitling in Saint-Imier, Switzerland. Breitling has witnessed countless glorious moments in mankind's long journey to conquer the skies thanks to its precise, reliable, and high-performance precision instruments. As the only watch brand in the world whose entire range of movements is chronometer-certified by the COSC, Breitling not only symbolizes exceptional precision but is also one of the few watch brands to have developed and produced its own self-winding chronograph movements. A family-owned company, Breitling is also one of the few remaining independent Swiss watchmakers.

Combining its many years of experience in making watches for the aviation industry, Breitling constantly focuses on the functional positioning of its watches and adapts them to the needs of specific industries such as aviation, navigation, and diving, making its products distinctive and a perfect combination of practicality, functionality, and versatility. As a result, Breitling watches are not only timepieces but also precision instruments, earning the name "aviation computer".

Steps for winding a Breitling watch

If an automatic watch has not been worn in a few days, the owner should fully wind it before wearing it again. Wind your watch before you strap it on for the day, which keeps stress off the stem. Once you begin to wear the watch again, your body's natural movement will power the mainspring to make it run.

To wind a Breitling watch, first, find the winding crown on the right side of the case, then turn the crown counterclockwise to unlock it. Once the crown is in the unlocked position, begin winding in a clockwise motion. If it is a new watch, you should wind it gently 40 times, or until the winding limiter makes it hard to wind the watch. If it's not a new watch, and it's an automatic watch, you should wind it 10-15 times, or until you start to feel some tension in the winds. Once you feel the tension of the winding crown, you have done enough winding. Be sure not be too tough and rude when doing it, as some people end up damaging the crown this way as well.
