The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Anyone done any tests with their B01 movement to see which position their watch is set to rest ( crown up, down etc) for slowing down or speeding up time?

I've seen very little difference on mine.

As a general rule a watch will lose more crown up and gain more (or lose less) laying on its back. However, you can't universally apply that to every watch because rate is affected by a myriad of different things and the rate may vary from one day to the next depending on power reserve, temperature, etc.

Roff,
I've got a feeling that the temp maybe something that adds time at night (crown up). My room is fairly cool and when I pick up the watch in the morning it's cold! I'll try to put it in a warm place and see if it makes a diff!

Overall watch is continuously 5 sec fast/day (not worried, within specs). Only for a short 3 week period, for whatever reason it went to 1.5 sec/day. I have not been able to figure out what significantly changed in my "wearing pattern".
