Battery has died on my Bluebird, got 4 years out of this one, same length of time as the original lasted.
As I am now competent in doing my own battery changes, I'll be doing this one myself.
It is now the only quartz watch in my collection and still the watch that I have owned the longest, 8 years now.

New Renata battery arrived, for reference it's the 384.
Fitted last night and after resetting the Chronograph hands, all working perfectly :)

I've owned this watch for 8 years now, picked it up new in 2014.
The longest I've ever owned a watch for so far.

I’m not surprised that you have kept this watch, a beautifully designed watch with a great backstory.
