The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi,
I just picked up my first Breitling the other day. Ended up with the Navitimer01 with a stainless steel band.

I’ve done some research on setting the date and month… still confused.

Is it as simple as pulling the crown to position 2 – turning clockwise, and the date changes? However I don’t want to be doing this every month.

Is it possible set the month, so the date stays correct month to month.
If so, how do I set it correctly?

Thanks in advance,
Michael

You have to manually change for any month that doesn't have 31 days. This is true for most mechanical movements, only perpetual / semi-perpetual / annual calendar movements are capable of 'knowing' how many days there are in the month.

Thanks for the info... so ill stop looking 'how to set the month'

Cheers

And yes use position 2 to quick set the date

I would avoid doing it anywhere near midnight when the date would automatically change but that is probably just me being paranoid!
