In this video, I take on a challenging restoration of a Breitling Aerospace—a high-end titanium timepiece that was nearly destroyed by a simple $1 mistake. The owner installed the wrong battery (a 395 instead of a 371), which put too much pressure on the movement and caused the digital LCDs to "bleed."
Watch as I perform a full service on the ETA 988.332 movement, tackle the intricate task of replacing the crushed LCD screens, and bring this "beyond repair" Breitling back to its former glory. It’s a perfect example of why even the smallest parts matter in luxury watchmaking.
Inside this restoration:
The $1 Error: Why putting a 395 battery in a Breitling Aerospace is a disaster.
Deep Movement Service: A step-by-step disassembly and cleaning of the ETA 988.332 quartz caliber.
The LCD Fix: How to handle the delicate process of swapping out bleeding digital displays.
Titanium Case Cleaning: Restoring the finish on this iconic 90s pilot's watch.
