BR 01-92 compass
Te c h n i c a l N o t e s
True to the Bell & Ross philosophy, the BR 01 COMPASS watch is inspired by
aircraft cockpits, where each part is a reference in terms of legibility, reli-
ability and performance. The display of the BR 01 COMPASS is reminiscent
of a navigation compass.

REmoVING THE sTRap aND ITs 2 FasTENINGs
The case of your watch has 3 main parts:
Part 1: the main body of the case with the crown (G)
Part 2: the "cover" of the case with its 4 screws (D)
Part 3: the 2 strap fastenings (F)
These 3 parts are assembled by screws (D and J) that are visible on each side of the case:
The 4 slotted head screws (D) are used to fix the cover to the body of the case and to seal
the watch. (Please note: so as not to invalidate the Bell & Ross warranty, these screws
must never be undone.)
The 8 socket-head screws (I and J) (hexagonal recess / 1.3 mm in diameter) are used
to attach the strap to the fastenings (screws I) and the strap fastenings to the case
(screws J). These screws can be handled carefully using the 2 special tools supplied in
the watch's box.
ImpoRTaNT
Once the time has been set, screw the crown back down to ensure a perfect seal. To do
this, push the crown until it is in position 0 by simultaneously turning it clockwise. The
crown must never be handled underwater.
caRE
After being immersed in seawater, it is recommended to always rinse off the watch and
its strap with fresh water. We also recommend that you check that your watch is still
watertight every two years. In order to guarantee service compliant with the brand's
requirements, any servicing on your watch must be carried out by the Bell & Ross repair
centre or by a watchmaker approved by Bell & Ross. For any repairs under warranty, you
will need to present the Bell & Ross warranty card, duly dated and signed by the retailer
at the time of purchase.
