GENERAL USE
To unscrew the crown in position 0, turn it anticlockwise.
crown to position 1 then wind the mechanism by turning the crown clockwise. After approximately 40 rotations,
the watch is completely wound (the mechanism does not have a stopper to avoid too much pressure on the
winder). The power reserve is then approximately 40 hours. When the watch is worn , it is the automatism which
winds the movement.
Date setting
: Quick setting * (crown in position 2): pull the crown to position 2 and adjust
the date by turning the crown anticlockwise. Slow setting (crown in position 3): in order to ensure a date change
at midnight and not at midday, it is advisable to carry out the date setting with the help of the hour hands. Pull the
crown to position 3 and turn the hands until the date has changed. Then adjust the hour accurately.
Unscrew and pull the crown to position 3. The second hand has thus stopped which enables an adjustment with

Magnetic fields.
Magnetic fields can adversely affect the accuracy of your watch. Also,
we would recommend that you avoid placing your watch near electronic devices that
may generate large magnetic fields (radio, smartphone, television, computer, tablet,
loudspeakers etc.).
Water resistance.
Once the watch is set, to ensure perfect water resistance, push the
.
crown back to position 0. Never operate the crown underwater.
Note:
The 4 slotted screws (E) mount the bezel to the case and ensure the water resis-
tance of the watch. To benefit from the Bell & Ross warranty, these screws must never
be unscrewed.
CARE
It is advisable to rinse the watch and its strap carefully with fresh water after contact
with sea water. It is also recommended to check that your watch is still watertight every
two years. In order to guarantee service compliant with the requirements of the brand,
any servicing on your watch must be carried out by a Bell & Ross repair center or a
watchmaker approved by Bell & Ross. When a repair is carried out during the guarantee
period, you must present the Bell & Ross guarantee card, duly dated and signed by the
retailer at the time the watch was purchased.
