Is this one of those calibers where you have to put a screwdriver into a certain hole and twist it a little? Those are a pain.

No; the name was given by someone who had no understanding of what automatic means nor 'bell' as in Bellmatic. A Bellmatic is an automatic mechanical watch with a mechanically driven striker that makes the bell tone. The quartz alarm watch is just that, a quartz watch and the alarm is the sound of a piezoelectric device transmitted through a spring to the case back of the watch. No quartz alarm watch has ever been branded as a Bellmatic! |

No quartz alarm watch has ever been branded as a Bellmatic! The design was named the Quartz Bellmatic because the alarm set the same way as the mechanical Bellmatic using the chaprter ring vs an alarm hand or subdial. I had one years ago and sold it. |

Josh, you know that doesn't make sense. If it did then every watch that has a crown at three o'clock could be called a Rolex  It's just another sad example of someone slapping an inappropriate nick name on a watch because they didn't really understand what it was they were saying. |

The Quartz Piece of hardened steel that goes "bong" when hit with a hammer thing that does something automagically is called "Alarm Quartz" by Seiko. Has the designation 7223-6010.

As defined by Oxford Dictionaries
bell
Pronunciation: /bɛl/
noun
1A hollow metal object, typically in the shape of a deep inverted cup widening at the lip, that sounds a clear musical note when struck, especially by means of a clapper inside.
A gongamatic it is then!
