Dear friends, I'm new in this forums.
I live in Italy and I'm the owner of two Breitling watches, one is B1 and the other is Navitimer with Venus 178 movements.
This night in Italy changed the time from legal to solar time, so this morning I have regulate the correct time in all my watches.

No problems with Navitimer, it is a mechanical watch rebuilding from Breitling in 2007.

But I have one problem with B1.
When showing the time, then pulling out the crown and the set the time. Minute and seconds are sincronized beetween analog and digital time, but hours are not sincronized, so I move back the hours and now there is one hours difference beetween analog and digital time. If I try to change the hours now the difference (1 hour) will be manteined.

Someone can help me to sincronize the hours?

Best Regards

Luca

Check your instructions if you have them.

You need to sync the displays with the crown in the neutral position (no digital display showing) - this will allow you to sync all the hands one by one - hours, minutes and even the seconds if needed.

Hope this helps.

Excellent - now there's no excuse for being late for work tomorrow.

Glad you had the manual - my Italian not anywhere as good as your English!

:D

About B1 I have all documents. This was the gift r my wife in 2002.
It was new and original 100%. She bought in an Italian Breitling Dealer.

The Navitimer was bought on ebay, then I went int an Italian Breitling Service and after 3 mouths he return me the watch in perfect condition, like new. The he (Breilting Italian) give an international warranty for 1 year and it will expire on december.

Newx watch will be a Chronomat... probably next year when I start my new job: Pilot on Airbus A320.

Best Regards

Luca
