Hi,
My Aerospace (2 years in use) is running too fast. I noticed that it is running about a minute too
fast after about 10 days. I am comparing the time to an atomic adjusted clock. :shock:

What could be causing it? Low battery? The illumination works.

TIA,
Sergio

Not sure if a low battery would cause it, it may need a service or simply regulating. If it's not quite 2 years old then get the AD to sort it under warranty, if over 2 years then it probably still needs AD attention but you will have to pay. Might be worth checking the battery first, but I suspect that there is more to it.

Can Aerospace accuracy (even it is not a mechanical watch) be adjusted by Breitling authorized person?

It can be adjusted during servicing, but more complex than a mechanical regulation.

Does this mean more time consuming for quartz than for mechanical watch?
My Aerospace is gaining about 1 second per week (4-5 second/month), I'm wearing it at most once a week so not sure if I wear it every day, will it change the rate.
For next battery change I will check for this and if there is extra charge for.

The adjustment is more time consuming, the observation is less time consuming as quartz rate is more predictable.

It may simply need a service at the next battery change and then they will adjust the rate as part of the process.

I can live with it till next battery change.
Thanks for the info.
