The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I was setting my Breitling Colt Sunday to the new time and someway it jumped a whole day, is there a easy way to reset the date without going around 24 hours a hundred times?

Thanks for the help

It depends on which model that you have - Colt is a full range of watches that have been around for quite some time.

If the watch has a quick set date (an interim step in the crown between fully in and fully out) then you can use that, but make sure that the indicated time is outside of the 8pm - 3am window as that can cause damage. If you don't have that then you may be able to wind the time back and forth between abut 9pm and 3am and the date should change each time that you go forward past midnight. Make sure that you don't have a quick set date before trying that because again you can cause damage if it does.

If you let us know the model number of your watch then we can be more precise in the advice. As a best practice you want to set the date to the day before the current one and then advance the time to the correct time / date to make sure that you get the am / pm correct.

Roffensian,
Thanks for the help, mine did have the quick set, I didn't find it the first time I tried,but everything is ok now.
