Welcome to BreitlingSource.

The movements in these are obsolete now so cannot be replaced by Breitling. However, there is still a fair supply of movements available from donor watches. The movement is a Miyota Y652 and they can be found in Pulsars, Seikos and the like. All of them will be of the same age, but you should be able to pick one up for under $100, under $50 if you are lucky.

i see, so this would replace the whole movement in one hit?

Yes. You just replace the entire module because it can no longer be serviced.

Welcome .....as you look around the forum, feel free to use the "search" function on the right side of the page....Just by typing in "pluton" I came up with over 300 hits ( conversations) that people have had here about your model :!:

Good luck with the repair :)

cool, so there maybe an option to put another movement in, that is more readily available?

All of the movements are going to be of the same vintage, but for now the Miyota Y652 (or the ESA 900.911 that you PM'd me about) are still readily available.

I've seen somewhere that the Seiko H461 is the same movement. Plenty on eBay but beware that "needs new battery" probably means the movement's goosed!
