*
Quickset date setting.
As with all watches with a date function, quickset date
setting (crown in position 1) MUST NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES be carried out
between the times of 9 P.M. (21:00) and 3 A.M. (03:00).
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 (D) 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.
