I just got my callisto and i have no manual and cannot find any info on the web on how to correctly wind it up. I know there are certain breitling watches that stop at a certain point and others just wind forever. The thing is i don't want to risk anything, so i am asking you guys. Thanks alot, i am really in need of someone with knowledge. |

If you have a Callisto it's quartz (battery) so doesn't need winding. |

Chrono Callisto is a manual wind so wind it until you feel significant resistance. Unlike an automatic the watch will tell you when the spring is tight by making turning the crown much harder. That's the point you stop to avoid damage. |

So there is no like hard stop? It just feels harder to turn? Because i am not even getting 12 hours out of it, but i do not wanna damage the watch. |

You'll know when it is fully wound, it will be one very difficult to turn to the point where it feels as though you would have to force it. Until you reach that point, keep winding. |
