FAQs

What does GMT stand for and how does it work on this watch?

GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time. This watch features a GMT complication, indicated by a separate 24-hour hand, allowing you to track a second time zone simultaneously. This is particularly useful for international travelers.

How do I set the second time zone (GMT)?

The GMT hand is typically set independently from the main hour and minute hands. You usually pull the crown to a specific position or use a dedicated pusher (refer to your manual) to advance the GMT hand to your desired home time.

Is this watch suitable for swimming?

Yes, with a water resistance of 100 meters, the watch is suitable for swimming and snorkeling. Ensure the crown is fully screwed down before entering water. It is not recommended for scuba diving.

Do I need to wind an automatic watch?

Yes, automatic watches are powered by the movement of the wearer's wrist. If you don't wear the watch regularly, you may need to manually wind it by rotating the crown about 30-40 times to ensure it has sufficient power reserve.

What is the case made of?

The case of this Bell & Ross BR05 GMT model is made of stainless steel.

How should I care for the sapphire crystal?

Sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant. However, sharp impacts can still cause damage. Clean the crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth. The anti-reflective coating may require gentle cleaning with a specialized lens cleaner if smudged.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped working.

Ensure the watch is wound. If automatic, wear it consistently for at least 8-10 hours a day, or manually wind the crown as described in the setup section.

Date is not changing correctly.

Ensure you are not trying to set the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. Set the time to the morning of the current day, then adjust the date. Refer to the manual for correct date-setting procedures.

GMT hand is not accurate or is difficult to set.

Consult the specific instructions in your Bell & Ross user manual for operating the GMT complication. Incorrect manipulation can affect its accuracy. If issues persist, seek professional service.

Bracelet is uncomfortable or too loose/tight.

Adjustments can be made by removing or adding links. It is recommended to have this done by a qualified watchmaker or jeweler to avoid damage.

Pros

  • Dual time zone capability ideal for international travel.
  • Robust and stylish stainless steel construction.
  • High legibility with luminous hands and markers.
  • Reliable automatic movement for consistent performance.
  • Good water resistance for daily wear and water activities.

Cons

  • The 41mm case size might be large for some wrists.
  • GMT complication may be unnecessary for users who do not travel frequently.
  • Automatic watches require regular wear or winding to maintain accuracy.
  • As a luxury item, it represents a significant financial investment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Winding: If the watch has stopped, wind the crown by turning it clockwise approximately 30-40 times until you feel resistance. This will power the automatic movement.
  2. Setting Time: Pull the crown out to the first position to set the date. Pull it out further to the second position to set the local time. For the GMT function, set your home time zone using the 24-hour hand. Consult the user manual for precise instructions on setting the GMT hand independently.

Compatibility:

  • This watch is designed to be compatible with standard watch tools for bracelet adjustment if needed. The stainless steel bracelet is designed for wrist comfort and durability.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For the bracelet, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and thorough drying.
  • Water Resistance: While rated for 100 meters, avoid operating the crown or pushers while submerged. For prolonged water exposure (e.g., swimming, diving), ensure the crown is fully screwed down. Have the water resistance checked annually, especially if exposed to salt water or chemicals.
  • Servicing: Automatic watches typically require servicing every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance. Contact an authorized Bell & Ross service center for maintenance.
