The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello, last week I purchased a Chronomat Evolution form a local AD. I purchased a Red face with the Diver Pro band. This is my fist Breitling and I am so happy with my purchase. I have never had a Selfwinding watch and I was wondering if the winding was suppose to be this loud. I can hear the watch winding when its on my wrist and can actually feel the watch vibrate. I was wondering if this was the normal, Pleas tell me I have nothing to worry about and that I do not need to take this watch back.. Thanks in advance for everyone’s help.

Welcome to the forum LouWal!

This is normal... the Valjoux 7750 that Breitling uses as a base has a very noticeable rotor movement... especially it really gets winding!

I have a Super Avenger and I actually love it when I rest my arm and my wrist keeps wiggling for a few seconds. I reminds me that I purchased a high quality timepiece that is doing its job! No real noise unless it is very quiet or near my ear.
