Astronauts, divers, pilots, and even bomb-disposal experts swear by
Bell & Ross watches as essential tools on their missions. These
striking Swiss timepieces have been designed for professionals who
demand readability, performance, precision, and water-resistance.
Bell & Ross possesses a design
sensibility that cuts through the noise of everyday life, through the
flash, clutter, and distraction. This timepiece in particular is classic
Bell & Ross through and through: it communicates its ideas with
simplicity and grace.
First, its iconic black-colored dial
is a breeze to read: there is the Bell & Ross logo at 12, a date
window conveniently found at 3, as well as luminescent hands and applied
numerals and indices that are coated in SuperLuminova for easy viewing
in low light. To round things out we have large Arabic numerals at 12,
6, and 9, a legible minute track in white, and a center seconds hand.
The staid stainless steel case
measures 40 mm in diameter, 10.4 mm in height, and rests upon a
stainless steel bracelet with a brushed stainless steel deployant buckle
for added safety.
Additional features include a
screw-down winding crown, a 100 m / 10 atm water resistance, and a
scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. As a self-winding automatic watch,
this piece is driven by the BR-CAL.321 caliber, which beats at 28,800
vph, possesses 25 jewels, and delivers a 38-hour power reserve.
Iconic in every regard, this attractive
and disciplined Bell & Ross timepiece will make a wonderful
addition to your collection.
