Breitling Warranty Information
Breitling watches are entirely manufactured in Switzerland, according to the strictest Swiss watchmaking quality standards. They undergo nearly 1000 checks during production, while all movements (mechanical and quartz alike) must successfully pass the extremely stringent tests of the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). Any manufacturing defect is covered by an international warranty, valid for two years from the date of purchase, or five years for watches equipped with a mechanical Manufacture movement.
