How to adjust a Breitling Watch Bracelet
Posted by The Breitling Source under Breitling , Watch Tips & Tricks[15] Comments
Most of the newer Breitling bracelets are adjusted with fine screws, such as jewelers screws, rather than pins. A question often asked is how do you adjust them? In fact, here is an email that someone sent me a couple of days ago:
“hello…i stumbled upon this site in search of info on the old colt automatic. i just purchased a NOS Colt Auto I (ca. 2005) and was wondering if you can point me out to articles on how to size the fighter bracelet..”
So I figured I would post a Youtube video demostrating how this is done. I accidently went off screen at one point but its still servicable! Hope this helps:

Wonderful…it worked with several watch companies including my new Fortis bracelet. Your demonstration was really useful and much appreciated.

Hi Nice Video. 1 Question, Is it possible to buy separate links and screw pins for Breitling Bracelets as i have been looking and cant come across any.

Yeah, just ask your local dealer. They should have them.

Outstanding- just received my watch today via ebay and glad I didn’t attempt to hammer them out before checking your site. Thank you!!

Great video just have not found the correct screwdriver yet. Have you removed links from a Breitling Mesh bracelet? Is it the same screwdriver as for the Pilot Bracelet?

Hi Rick,
Same screwdriver should work. I am using the same Bergeon Screwdriver, though I can’t remember the size off the top of my head.

Just bought an Avenger Seawolf, yesterday – I think I beat a UK price rise by days. The dealer, an AD, adjusted the strap but left one screw loose. I also noticed the link next to the clasp had a screw on both sides and wondered if they had ‘screwed up’ there too. This vid saved the day. Thanks. 🙂
