The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I have a Transocean Chrono (B01), which I may only use once a month. The rest of the time it spends on a winder. The winder is set to 5760 turns/day. While on the winder the watch is keeping time within the standard. Yet when I put it on my hand the watch stops after an hour or so. If I wind it manually it works fine and goes for almost 3 days. The manual says that the watch only needs 800 TPD to keep going, yet if I set the winder to 1440 TPD the watch stops while on the winder.

Importantly, this problem has only started recently. Any advice will be much appreciated.

That's a "back to Breitling" job I'm afraid. It sounds like something's wrong with the automatic winding mechanism, and that's not a self-fix, so it needs to be looked at by Breitling.

Not an uncommon problem with the 01 movement, the good news is it's only a single screw so an easy warranty fix.

Thank you guys. Will take it to Breitling for the repair

Mine is now doing the same thing. The real disappointment for me is I just got it back from a warranty repair. The Chrono would not engage to stop after I started it. I realize that things happen, it just seems "things happen" all too frequently with the B01. Makes me want to part ways with it.
