BR-CAL.325 AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT
GENERAL USE
Starting the watch. When the watch has stopped (crown in position 0): unscrew the
crown (turn anticlockwise) to position 1. Wind the movement by turning the crown
clockwise. After approximately 40 rotations, the watch is fully wound (the wind-
ing mechanism does not have a stop to prevent overwinding). The power reserve is
approximately 40 hours when fully wound. When the watch is worn, the automatic
mechanism will wind the movement.
NOTE : Once the watch is set, to ensure per-
fect water resistance, screw the crown back into position 0. Never operate the crown
underwater.
Power reserve.
Bell & Ross watches have a power reserve of approxi-
mately 40 hours.
Setting the date .
Quick setting. Crown in position 2: unscrew and pull the crown out
to position 2 and set the date by turning the crown anticlockwise.

mechanical watches with a date function, quickset date setting MUST NOT UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES be carried out between the times of 9 PM (21.00) and 3 AM (3.00).
Slow setting. Crown in position 3: to ensure the date changes at midnight rather than

IMPORTANT
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
resistance of the watch. To benefit from the Bell & Ross warranty, these screws must
never be unscrewed.
MAINTENANCE
After being immersed in seawater, it is recommended to carefully rinse off the watch
and strap with fresh water. It is also recommended to have the water resistance of
your watch checked every two years.
