| Post subject: | Chrono Superocean Help |
Yesterday afternoon I bought my first Breitling, a steel Chrono Superocean with a black face. The store where I bought it set the date and the time on the watch and wound it up, never explaining to me how any of the crowns work. I was wondering if someone could explain to me the three crowns and how they work and interact, and what I should NOT do so I don't hurt the watch. Thanks. |

Didn't you get a small yellow guide book with your watch? You should have got it! |

No. My watch came in a big yellow and black box, inside was the black Breitling box with the leather case inside. As far as papers, I have an official registration card, a yellow booklet with the warranty certificate, a large yellow proof of authenticity (I'm guessing since I don't speak French-Swiss) and I walked out wearing my watch. I'm guessing they left out a booklet that explains how to work the watch? Anyway the two smaller crowns can be unscrewed and work as a stop watch, and the larger one manages setting the date and time, and can be used to wind the watch. I did change the date last night at like 1am but I think the watch thought it was 1pm, does anyone know if I might have damaged the watch and if I did how I would know? It seems to be working perfectly now. Thanks. |

When you pull out the crown to the first position, the function allows you to wind (clockwise), the second position enables you to change the day/date by either moving it closewise or counter-clockwise. The third and final position (all the way out) will enable you the work the hour/minute hands. Hope this helps. |

Yeah, thanks, that's what I figured. But last night at around 1am the date had not changed, so I reset the date and time on the watch. I'm guessing since it didn't change it thought it was 1pm and I didn't hurt the watch, but how can I be sure? Or am I just overreacting about the whole 8pm to 3am thing? |

It's not a problem at all; however, because you set the watch when you did is why the date didn't change by 1am. |
