This time I´m restoring a Breitling Colt Ocean Automatic Watch.
It´s powered by the Breitling B17, a modified ETA 2824-2 automatic movement. It beats at 28800bph, the lift angle of the balance is at 52° and it has a power reserve of 42 hours. The reference number of this watch is A17350 and it´s chronometer-certified.

This watch is water resistant up to 500 meters (1650 feet)... well ... at least you are able to lock-down the crown. The previous owner of the watch didn´t lock the crown before this watch had it´s last diving session. Water has penetrated the watch, the watch stoppped from running and it has been thrown in the most behind drawer. Bad idea.... of course this watch has gained a lot of rust over several months until it find it´s way on my desk.

I need to clean everything and remove the rust where it´s possible. I´ve never used a rust-remover on a watch movement ... until now. Some parts of the movement needs to be replaced. I also replaced the glass, re-painted the bezel and polished everything where it´s needed.

After everything is cleaned, polished and re-painted, I can re-assemble the movement with some fresh oil. After that, this watch is in a fantastic beat (+0 seconds per day) again.

I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)
