Good luck with that one, They do come up on ebay but they are so old you could end up paying for something that may last 10 years or 10 mins, They are hard to get movements now and TBH the watch probably isnt worth it anymore unless it has huge sentimental value to it.

:yeahthat

But if you ask Breitling to service it they will likely tell you that it is unserviceable and offer you a big discount on a contemporary model.

the simple answer is No

the reason is that the Miyota has three buttons and the top one that would be missing controls most of the functions,And the display size is different so sorry but no.

Id love to say yes but unfortunatley not. The problem is its a very old watch and as I said you may get a movement but it may cost $200 and may last a week, I dont know what to tell you mate I really think that you should forget about this watch, Theres a reason why they can be picked up cheap. :(

if i were you, i would do a little surfing on the digital watch forums because there are a couple of guys that know these movements inside and out. i am willing to wager that there are several sub $200 watches that have the same movement....when i was contemplating one of the breitling LED watches, i found more than one source to supply a movement.

All movements for these pieces are original - in other words approaching 20 years of age or more so as sonyman says they are all reaching the end of their useful life.

Sam I wasnt trying to be nasty to you just pointing out this watch may be a never ending cost for you,If its valuable to you then go ahead and get it fixed but I wouldnt wear it if I were you just leave the battery out and store it safely,

look for the Yema and Scubapro in the pictures they both use the same movement.
there is one seller thats sold 3 movements recently on ebay it might be worth messaging him to see if he can get more
they are $220 each then add fiting on top
