Their web site is not very helpful on instructions, so I suggest you go there http://www.breitling.com/ and click on "service centers" to locate your nearest, and ask them for advice (and a set of instructions perhaps).

Not good news.The parts are only available from Breitling and this will require the watch is sent to them.There is probably a fault on the circuit,if its out of any guarantee this will be costly.There is a UK Breitling repair centre try Breitling.com or find a good stockist.
