I was just wondering, as I have noticed that some movements have been discontinued i.e. quartz for the Pluton etc. How future proof are the 7750 movements and others? I know they are very heavily produced, so I would imagine they will be replaceable / repairable for a long time. I guess my bottom line question is, will Breitling, within reason be able to service my CSO for life? |

This is one of the real virtues of mechanical watches - a well looked after watch can last lifetimes and will be nowhere close to obsolete in the foreseeable future. |

And it makes no difference whether anyone still makes the movement. The specs are readily available and parts producers can produce the necessary pieces or if needed a watchmaker can fabricate their own parts - something that just can't be done with quartz. There was no such thing as an obsolete watch until the quartz revolution. |
