You don't get it. It is issued to and belongs to Breitling.

in Sweden you can buy it from the AD but you must have the warranty book in original and stamped
the cost for it is rather expensive if compeered to the manual

but if you like the look or misses the original COSC then its OK

I'm amazed at that. I have never heard of Breitling releasing any from their records, I assume that it would be a copy that you can order through the AD. I know that you can get a reissued yellow one, but have never heard of the original COSC white one.

The COSC institute certificate is wite and green in its original
Breitling make in My information the one thath then comes with the watch

I was erlier abut to order one but then found the original
so i am sure this is posible

The thing is that you cant get the original but a copy from the one that
The COSC institute made for breitling once they tested the movment before it whent to the factory

Hope this is to some help to some one

Regards jonas

Yes I know what the original COSC certificate looks like, but I have never heard of it being supplied. Breitling submits the watch to COSC and they return the watch (if it passes) with the white certificate. The yellow one that comes with each watch is a Breitling specific thing, but that's the only one that I have ever seen with a watch 'in the wild' - in fact I have never even heard of the white ones reaching the distributor level, let alone the AD.

Thanks for the info. I was also under the impression its possible to get one. I guess in North America, the conversation would need to be had between the client and BUSA or if you're in Canada with Breitling Canada (would that be Grigoros?). If I am not mistaken COSC has two type of certificates, there is one that shows all the results and is very complete and then there is also a summary one just saying the movement passed the control.

You can order a duplicate COSC from Breitling through the AD / distributor, but that's the yellow summary one. As I have said, I have never seen the white one outside of Breitling.

Well, even if YOU have never heard of it Roff, can we consider it is possible to get one?

Well as one of the posters said that you could get it in Sweden then I guess it is possible.

I'm just very surprised as that is Breitling's record of the movement certification.

Then that would mean that if that (which is supposed to be the original) is lost, only copies would be available.
