Quick Answer
The Breitling Galactic W72348 is a quartz timepiece powered by a standard Needs Review battery. Under normal operational conditions, this silver-oxide or lithium cell provides approximately 2 to 3 years of continuous power before needing replacement.
How to Replace the Battery in a Breitling Galactic W72348
Replacing the battery in your Breitling (standard size, stainless steel) requires carefully inspecting the case back. Most quartz dress and sport models utilize either a snap-on back or a multi-notched screw-down case. Using an appropriate watchmaker case wrench or pry knife prevents slipping and scratching the stainless steel finish. Avoid touching the new Needs Review battery surfaces directly with your fingers, as skin oils can reduce conductivity.
