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

    • Hello, I am about 5 months into watchmaking and I love it!   The attention to precise detail is what really attracts me to it. (and the tools!) I am working on a 16 jewel 43mm pocket watch movement.   There are no markings besides a serial number (122248) .  The balance staff needs replacement. The roller side pivot broke off.  I successfully removed the hairspring using Bergeon 5430's.  I successfully removed the roller using Bergeon 2810.   Did i mention I love the tools?! I removed the staff from the balance wheel using a vintage K&D staff removal tool  with my Bergeon 15285 (that's the one that comes with a micrometer adjustment so it can be used as a jewel press as well as a traditional staking tool...it's sooooo cool...sorry..  can you tell i love the tools?) No more digressing..  I measured the damaged staff in all the relevant areas but I have to estimate on some because one of the pivots is missing. A = Full length  A= 4.80mm  (that's without the one pivot...if you assume that the missing pivot is the same length as the other pivot (I'm sure it's not)  then A = 5.12 mm...(can I assume 5.00mm here?) F=  Hair spring collet seat  F=  .89mm   (safe to assume .90 here? .. I am sure that my measurement's would at least contain  .01 mm error ?) G = balance wheel seat  G = 1.23 mm  (1.20mm?) H  =  roller staff  H =  .59mm  (.60 mm?) B  = bottom of the wheel to roller pivot   B  = 2.97mm  (3.00 mm?)     here I am estimating  again because this pivot is missing. So my friends, and I thank you profusely,  can you point me in the right direction as to how to proceed? Do i buy individual staffs?  or an assortment?   Since I don't know exactly the name of the manufacturer, will that be a fatal hindrance?   Tbh, I'm not even sure what country of origin this movement is. Thank you!    
    • Thats why i asked that question earlier, what happens if lubrication is placed directly on top of epilame ?  As opposed to walled within its non epilamed area . I'm not saying its right, i have no idea , just asking questions. 
    • thinking of where epilam should be removed did you know there was a patent that covers this? At least for the escapement I'm attaching it. GB1057607A-1 epilame.pdf
    • Back home...printing now.  Will report results
    • Oh well, if Master @nickelsilver says it's the way to go, then it is the way to go! I stand corrected! 🫡 Are there any other places where you're supposed to remove the epilame from the contact point of rubbing? I don't think so! Thanks for the effort @Neverenoughwatches, much appreciated! 🙂👍
