The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello, I'm a new owner of an Avenger Skyland and I must admit that I was disappointed with the lume. Only a very minor point I know, but what I wanted to know is whether this is normal on this model? My 12 year old TAG has a better lume in a dark room when I put the two side-by-side.

All in all I'm delighted with the watch and it's certainly brought some very complimentary comments from friends and work colleagues alike.

The amount of lume used on Breitlings is frequently commented on. Most manufacturers today use Super Luminova, but Breitling doesn't seem to use as much as some others resulting in less brightness and a shorter duration.

Ah right, thats makes sense. Its not a big concern to me but just wanted to make sure that I wasnt missing any lume.

One other thing... and dont laugh.... but see the movement inside the watch is it normal to be able to feel it on the wrist "moving" after say a run up a flight of stairs. I know its an automatic but this was an odd experience for me, even more so when I put the watch to my ear after running back down them to make sure I wasnt losing the plot.

The Valjoux 7750 that is the base for your Breitling 13 is well known for being a loud movement - you can hear and feel the rotor moving around inside the watch, sometimes causing the entire case to vibrate.

It's perfectly normal from just moving your wrist.

Can't comment on whether running up stairs does it because that's way too energetic

Perfectly normal for the Skyland. Its just the same o mine, and I cant say it really bothers me much.
