Product Information

Full details

The Bell & Ross BR 05 Black Steel & Gold 40mm Men's Watch is designed for discerning individuals who appreciate a blend of retro-inspired aesthetics and contemporary engineering. Its key benefit lies in its versatile design, seamlessly transitioning from urban professional settings to more casual occasions, offering a luxurious yet practical statement piece. A potential caveat is the 40mm dial size, which may be on the smaller side for those accustomed to larger timepieces. This watch features a striking mix of polished and satin-finished steel with 18 ct rose gold, an iconic black sunray dial with rose gold accents and Super-Lumi Nova® for legibility, and is powered by the precise BR-CAL. 321. mechanism visible through its caseback.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of movement powers the Bell & Ross BR 05 Watch?

The watch is powered by the BR-CAL. 321. automatic movement, featuring a 360° ruthenium-coated oscillating weight.

Is the rose gold on the watch solid 18 ct gold?

Yes, the watch incorporates 18 ct rose gold in its construction, contributing to its luxurious appearance and material composition.

How do I care for the bi-material bracelet?

Clean the bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and ensure the crown is screwed down. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the polished or satin-finished surfaces.

What is the dial size of this watch?

The dial size of this model is 40mm.

Can I wear this watch while swimming?

Water resistance varies by model. Consult the specific water resistance rating for your BR 05. Unless rated for significant water submersion, it is best to avoid swimming or prolonged contact with water to maintain the watch's integrity.

How does the automatic movement stay wound?

The automatic movement is wound by the natural motion of your wrist as you wear the watch. The oscillating weight inside the watch moves with your activity, winding the mainspring.

What does 'sunray' dial mean?

A sunray dial has a finish that radiates outwards from the center, creating a subtle play of light and texture that changes as the watch moves.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped or is losing time.

Ensure the watch has been adequately wound through wrist movement or manual winding. If the issue persists, the watch may require servicing to check the movement's power reserve or timing accuracy.

Difficulty setting the time or date.

Gently unscrew the crown before attempting to set the time or date. Ensure you are following the correct procedure for your specific model to avoid damage to the mechanism. If the crown is stiff, do not force it; seek professional assistance.

Scratches on the case or bracelet.

Minor scratches on polished surfaces can sometimes be buffed out by a professional watchmaker. For deeper scratches or damage to satin-finished areas, professional refurbishment may be necessary.

Reduced legibility in low light.

Ensure the Super-Lumi Nova® coating has been exposed to sufficient light. The luminous material will fade over time but should be visible for several hours after charging.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent legibility with Super-Lumi Nova®.
  • Sophisticated design appealing to modern and classic style enthusiasts.
  • Precise and reliable automatic movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is an automatic watch, meaning it is powered by the movement of your wrist. To start the watch, gently shake it back and forth for about 30 seconds to wind the mainspring. Alternatively, you can manually wind it by unscrewing the crown and turning it clockwise several times before pushing it back in and screwing it down.

Compatibility: The BR 05 is designed for wrist wear. It is compatible with its integrated bracelet or an optional black rubber strap, allowing for style customization.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the watch case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and ensure the crown is screwed down to maintain water resistance. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Water Resistance: While designed for daily wear, refer to the specific water resistance rating for this model. Avoid exposing the watch to high-pressure water jets or prolonged submersion unless specifically rated for it. Regularly check the seals and have them serviced if you frequently use the watch in wet conditions.
  • Movement: As an automatic watch, it benefits from regular wear to keep it wound. If the watch is not worn for extended periods, it may stop and require resetting. Consider a watch winder if you store the watch for long durations.
  • Material Care: The rose gold components should be treated with care to maintain their lustre. Avoid contact with hard surfaces that could cause scratches.
