FAQs
What does the GMT function on this watch do?
The GMT function allows you to track a second time zone simultaneously with your local time. The dedicated GMT hand moves around the dial once every 24 hours, read against a 24-hour scale on the watch's inner bezel (flange).
How do I set the second time zone?
First, set the main time (hour and minute hands). Then, pull the crown to the appropriate position to adjust the GMT hand independently to reflect your desired second time zone (e.g., your home time).
Is this watch suitable for swimming?
The water resistance rating of the watch should be checked in its specific documentation. Generally, watches with GMT complications and fine finishing are best protected from water exposure. Ensure the crown is always screwed down before any water contact.
What is the significance of the white opaline dial?
The white opaline dial provides a clean, bright surface that enhances legibility, drawing inspiration from the clarity required for aeronautical instruments. It offers a sophisticated aesthetic contrast to the watch's functional features.
What is the warranty period for the Bell & Ross BR 05 GMT White?
Warranty details vary by region and retailer. Please refer to the official Bell & Ross warranty card or contact an authorized dealer for specific information.
Can the bracelet be easily adjusted?
The bracelet typically features adjustable links that can be removed or added by a watchmaker or jeweler to achieve a perfect fit. Some bracelets may have micro-adjustment systems.
Where does the 'BR 05' designation come from?
The 'BR 05' represents a modern line introduced by Bell & Ross in 2019, characterized by its integrated bracelet design and urban appeal, differentiating it from their more tool-focused earlier collections.
Troubleshooting
GMT hand is not tracking correctly.
Ensure the GMT hand is set independently of the main hour and minute hands. Consult the user manual for precise setting instructions, as incorrect adjustment can lead to misalignment.
Watch is losing or gaining time significantly.
Ensure the watch is fully wound. If the issue persists, it may require a professional service to check the movement's regulation.
Crown is difficult to turn or set.
Ensure the crown is pulled out to the correct position for setting the time or date. If it feels stiff, do not force it; seek professional assistance to prevent damage.
Smudges or fingerprints on the dial.
Gently wipe the crystal and dial area with a microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or cleaning solutions.
