Breitling Chrono Movement


Recommended Posts

Hi all. Help needed. I'm servicing a Breitling chrono. I confidently thought it was the same one as in Mark's epic video "Breitling Bentley Service ETA 2892 A2 Dubois Depraz Watch Repair Tutorial". But it's not the same. It seems to be an ETA 2892 movement with a bolted on chrono module. Which I presumed was the Dubois Depraz as in Marks video. But I don't think it is. Can anyone identify this chrono module for me and perhaps provide a service manual if possible?

This looks similar to the one i had worked on , you need to look at the manuals for the omega 3220 , it wont be the same exactly as it has three on it , but you can assemble and dissemble most of if from there, so look for the manuals for 3220, 1140, 1138 

enjoy, they are "interesting to work on"

i had the added fun of dealing with rust also!

 

good luck

problem is if you look at the company website they make lots of modules and looks like even watches. Then the subject has come up in the past but the module definitely does not look the same so I have a link for that

If my memory isn't way of the 2020 is quite similar to the 2000 and that one does not look  like that.
But for what it is worth the 2000 lubrication chart would still be applicable ..DD2000.thumb.jpg.cc0f8cb05288598aea86b829a9878da2.jpg

    • Haha. You're just in a wicked mood today John 😅
    • Heres my watch of today, a Smith 13'" RY . My missus bought me this for this Valentines day a bargain 14.99 with a reduction, the seller has occasional 20% off offers now and then so it was about 15ish with delivery. I love Smiths and i love bulleye dials, this is my first one. The watch arrived non working as stated and i knew what was inside and what would be against me, but i enjoy a challenge, we dont expect a lot if anything from pin pallet movements. A balance pivot was broken and i didnt have another staff but i did have another RY with a battered dial so i robbed the balance and tweaked it around to make it work apart from that mostly just a good clean and relubrication. Keyless works are pretty rough by design and the crown is a bugger to get in and out with the dial on, the setting lever hits the dial before it releases it, so a little mod is needed to help that along. Major problem was the pins on the lever were quite worn which make the old tg have a snow storm fit. Its a similar read for most pin pallets, these were brass as was the escape wheel. But perseverance is me, i didn't change the pins but i did spend some time dressing and polishing the worn areas which improved the trace a lot with some straightish lines 😅 and a beat error of .5 . Not sure what the lift angle should be on these and i Wasn't in the mood to work it out and who believes timegraphers anyway, but at the default 52° it runs with 260ish full 210 after 24 hours dial down , the verticals rates were pretty much all over place. So lets just put it in it's superlight aluminium case and see what happens. Been wearing it now for 3 weeks and it's consistently losing around 1.5  minutes a week winding each morning i think pretty good for an old pin pallet watch. I just love this dial, thanks wifey heres my Valentine's gift for yer sweetie x
    • I have a PDF below that will help. The problem was the PDF wasn't designed for this purpose it was designed to tell you what size watch you  have. Then it doesn't take into account movements come conceivably in different thicknesses.   watch-ligne-size-chart.pdf
    • That would be something! Which brings me back to;  
    • you think you're going to sleep tonight you're not, you're going to ponder the question of what makes you think those of the right parts?
