Battery Replacement

My wife has a Breitling that was her grandmother’s. It has been serviced a few times over the years, most recently in 2018, costing a decent amount. It looks like it needs a new battery now and I am wondering if I should take it to the Breitling boutique or can I take it to a reputable watch repair shop to just change the battery? I definitely don’t feel comfortable doing it myself. Any opinions? Thanks.

reputable watch repair shop. They also can estimate if it need service or not.

Nice watch, I sent all my Breitling watches directly to Breitling RSC in CT. When you go on the Breitling website, fill out the form, they will send you packaging for free. RSC will be more expensive than independent. If you want to save money, find an independent who can pressure test your watch too.

Possibly Colt Oceane, model A57350 (based on a quick search), you can verify the model number on the caseback. Probably 32-34mm.
