You don't see a lot of those around these days. Nice one. In terms of the battery, I can only suggest a trip to your local AD, or give your nearest Breitling Maintenance / Service Centre a call. (You can find the number on www.Breitling.com. |

Nice watch, esp now nearly 30 yrs old That is exactly my point John, it is a vintage classic. Why not put it to work as long as I find the battery for it. |

I wonder if any of the guys in the vintage forum can help. Maybe Roff can find something?

I did take a look, can't find anything, but I suspect that Breitling will be able to. As has been said, Grigoros is the maintenance centre for Canada, but that is actually the same company as La Swiss. So if La Swiss is your AD, go and see them and wither Grigoros or Breitling should be able to identify battery type. |

That makes sense as if it was just one battery, it would only last a quarter of its usual time! as they say, if in doubt, ask the maker I still think its a great watch...any more photos? |
