Hi Guys, new to the forum , but have been coming here ever since my wife bought me Breitling Navitimer 1461 (2011) as a wedding gift. I live this watch, its like a second wife to me! recently though I have found that the watch is stopping every third or fourth day - and then I have to wind it up again to get it going. I know it has the B19 movement (ETA 2892-A2) and states is has a power reserve of about 42 hours. I wear the watch everyday - I do work in an office and find myself seated and not moving around too much drung the day but walk about just over a hour day walking to and from work..Surely I thought that would be enough to keep the watch going? Note that the watch has NEVER stopped while on my wrist though, just when i take it off for the day, go to bed and in the morning it has stopped Does this sound normal to you guys? Thanks for any help guys.. |

It sounds to me as though it's just not getting enough power reserve from wear. It's clearly winding from the rotor otherwise it wouldn't run for 3 - 4 days, it would stop after 42 hours or so. I would just give the watch a few winds of the crown when you take it off and you'll be good to go. Also, make sure that the watch is fully wound after it stops - so 40 winds of the crown. |

Thanks for the response... Yes I do wind it 40 times after it stops... Is it harmful to give it a bit of a wind at the end of each day? |
