The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi all. I want to start by saying that I'm not really a watch person, so please forgive my ignorance in advance.

So, here's my problem. I bought my husband a Breitling SuperOcean Chronograph M2000 a couple of years ago. It's been a great watch, and he loves it. But this morning, after not wearing it for a while, he went to put it on and it's stopped. Of course, we will take it in for service if necessary, but if there is a way to kickstart it again, I would love to do that. I've been trying to research this watch, and it's a lot of information. I've finally decided to just post and hope you guys can help.

I've seen some information that says it's self-winding, and other info that says it has a battery that needs replacing every 2-3 years. Could it be both? Is there a way to restart the watch?

Welcome to BreitlingSource. The watch is quartz (battery) so the battery is likely dead and needs changing. You shouldn't need a service until the next battery change is due so just take it to an authorised dealer and they will take care of it for you (him). Next time he plans to not wear it for a while have him pull the crown out - that disengages that battery

Perfect! Thank you! That's exactly what I needed to know.
