Breitling watches are recognized around the world for their exceptional accuracy and quality. The reputation that Breitling has gained is built on a solid foundation and years of performance. How did they do that? The Breitling masters create really well made timepieces, or as they like to call them, instruments. They provide the gift, all we have to do is treasure it. Breitling's are intricately designed mechanisms, which truly require maintenance and care from time to time, if you hope to enjoy it and have it last. Let's discuss the issues that will required you take your Breitling watch to a Breitling service center.
1. Routine Maintenance of a Breitling Mechanical watch: This servicing will address several key components of your watch. It will clean the exterior of the case, and the bracelet. It will include the cleaning and lubricating of the escapement, as well as wheel balancing. All gaskets will be replaced and your Breitling will be re-sealed to restore it's original water resistance.
2. Maintenance of Breitling Quartz: The normal bracelet and case cleaning will take place, as well as a check of the functioning of all the Quartz movements. There will be a battery replacement, and all gaskets will be changed out. Since the case is opened, the re-sealing and testing of water resistance will also be performed.
I am including service pricing, but this could vary, so don't quote me!

Breitling's Chronograph featuring a split second function and the Perpetual Calendar require an estimate, sorry.
Keep in mind that about every 5 years your Breitling will require a total overhaul. This type of maintenance addresses restoring your Breitling to its original condition, inside and out. The entire mechanism is removed, cleaned, repaired if necessary, and reassembled. All of the routine maintenance is performed, and the watch is restored (as much as possible) to its original appearance. Bracelets are refurbished, polished to their initial luster, and your Breitling watch comes back to you, like new.
The following is the current pricing for the overhaul maintenance.
Breitling self winding $320.00
Breitling self winding Chronograph $520.00
Breitling Quartz Chronograph $350.00
Breitling Quartz multi-function $280.00
Now that we have gone over the valid reasons why you should get your Breitling watch maintained regularly, the specific items that will be addressed during maintenance and exactly how much you can expect to pay for the routine and the overhaul maintenance, I hope you have a clearer picture. Your Breitling is a precision instrument, take care of it and it will perform for many years.
