Breitling Watch Repair & Service

Breitling splits care into two levels of service, each on its own schedule. Use its service centers and boutiques while the warranty runs, and an independent watchmaker after that.

Breitling factory service

• Maintenance service, every 2 years: checks the movement and functions, replaces all seals and tests water resistance.
• Complete service, every 4 to 6 years: adds full disassembly, cleaning, replacement of standard movement parts, lubrication and adjustment, plus case and bracelet polishing.
• Water resistance test, every year: case gaskets dry out over time.
• Warranty: 5 years for watches with a Breitling Manufacture movement, 2 years for other Breitling watches.

Breitling publishes maximum service prices for the US. Check a quote online with your watch's serial number or model reference.

Independent Breitling service

Breitling's warranty does not cover damage from anyone other than an authorized Breitling service center working on the watch. While your watch is covered, use Breitling. After that, an experienced independent is a reasonable choice, especially for older chronographs.

Before you ship, ask

• Does my watch have a Breitling Manufacture movement, and is it still under warranty?
• Is this a maintenance service or a complete service, as Breitling defines them?
• How do you source Breitling parts?
• Will I get a written estimate before work starts? (Compare it with Breitling's published maximum price.)
• Are you authorized by Breitling for service, and where does that show on Breitling's own website?
• Will the work be done on site, or sent elsewhere? If it is sent on, where does it go, and does the quote add a fee on top of the service center's charge?

Providers on this page were researched against our Standard at the time they were listed and are rechecked periodically. Details can change between checks, so confirm terms, pricing and turnaround directly with the provider before sending your watch.
