Bronze, one of the first alloys concocted by man, has been used to centuries. This durable metal is known for a wide range of uses including for crafting watches that stand out with their vintage appeal and golden-brown hue. However, all that glitters is not gold! Strong and tough, it is often used to craft […]
Fitting a circle within a square is no simple task… And when you add the fundamental elements of a dive watch to the mix, including the required rotating bezel, this makes the task even more complex. Yet, this is what Bell & Ross has done with its BR 03-92 Diver, successfully mixing the iconic BR […]
A square case, a round dial, and one screw in each of the four corners… Fifteen years ago, Paris-based brand Bell & Ross introduced a watch that would become a signature design, the BR 01. In 2019, the challenge was to stay true to the brand’s roots but also to extend the concept to casual/urban […]
The BR 03-92 HUD does what Bell & Ross does best: it is a bold, instrumental and aero-inspired design piece. HUD stands for Head-Up Display, which is a tool you might know from cars or if you’re a bit more hardcore, your fighter jet. It shows that the world of aviation is still the perfect […]
Being a brand specialized in pilot’s watches – and not only aeroplane pilots, but also racing pilots with a Formula 1-based partnership – Bell & Ross is no stranger to the chronograph complication. In fact, you can find this kind of movement in pretty much all its collections. And today, there’s a new member coming […]
Since its very creation, Bell & Ross has focused on military forces and, as its preferred theme, pilots. From the earliest days, when the watches were manufactured by Sinn to the present collections, pilots have been the central focus of the brand’s core collection. But “pilot” is a wide definition. The needs of a jet […]
Bell & Ross’ love for aviation and pilot’s watches needs no introduction anymore. Since its foundation, the brand has had a clear focus on military watches made for action and has built its name in the instrument watch field. Yet, brands have to evolve and explore territories outside their comfort zone. Constantly seeking new universes […]
Despite what has been said about the 2020 Formula 1 season, it will be an intense, possibly fascinating year. While the main changes in regulation will come in 2021, this year sees the comeback of Zandvoort (with a crazy banked corner), teams are closer than ever and Esteban Ocon is back in the game. He […]
Inspired by dashboard flight instruments… This statement alone could easily define most of Bell & Ross’ creations. Whether we talk about the design of the watch itself, its features or the quest for optimal legibility, both day and night. The latter is particularly important for today’s matter because there’s a new watch in the LUM […]
While the main focus for Bell & Ross in 2019 was the introduction of its luxury sports watch, the BR05 collection (even though there were other watches launched as well), 2020 will be focused on the so-called “core range”. This means back to basics, with military or aeronautical-inspired pieces from the instrument or vintage collection, […]
