One of the most fashionable new watches at Baselworld 2019 was, not surprisingly, released by Paris-based Bell Ross. Using the BR V2-94 watch collection as a base, the new-for-2019 limited-edition reference BRV294-BC-BR/SCA BR V2-94 Bellytanker Bronze combines a rich look with affordability in a non-tarnishing bronze case. On the wrist, youd be hard-pressed n [...]

At the risk of borrowing a somewhat cliche, famous turn of phrase, it was Henry Ford who reportedly once said a customer could have a Model T painted in any color he wants, so long as it is black. Granted, the black watch might not be destined for the everyman as the Model T once was, but Id also argue that when done right, the black watch occupies a much mo [...]

Baselworld 2019 arrived after a year of unparalleled drama in the watch industry. Watch brands have been pulling out of tradeshows, including SIHH and Baselworld, during a general atmosphere of uncertainty about the future of the watch industry, amidst a backdrop of general economic and geo-political turmoil. The big names in traditional watchmaking (typically owned by large luxury [...]

Not every product has to be packed full of innovation to be worthwhile. Sometimes being cool is plenty.

In 2017, Bell Ross did something unusual by launching its first square dive watch -?the BR 03-92 Diver. Public opinion was generally mixed but I was, and still am, very fond of that watch. I thought that it managed to cleverly integrate dive-watch design elements in a way that still remained uniquely Bell [...]

Bronze has been around a long?time. Weve been alloying copper with other metals for centuries (millennia, even). Its not even that new when it comes to watch cases. Weve seen bronze cases come from brands big and small. The most notable?is, from my perspective, the venerable Panerai PAM 671 or the newly r [...]

Im wearing a Bell Ross as I type. I love it, but Im always a little embarrassed that it isnt one of the square ones. I mean, thats the whole point, right? The brand is so firmly committed to that concept, its hard to believe they ever made a round watch. But perhaps the fact that they did and were able to get [...]

If you havent yet worn a Bell Ross BR01 or BR03 Instrument watch, I do recommend you try one on.

One of the most popular types of watche [...]

At Baselworld last year, Bell Ross left enthusiasts stunned when they unveiled the BR-X2 Tourbillon Micro-Rotor watch (hands-on here). Though it had the square case shape that is distinctive to the brand, the watch was unlike any other Bell Ross model the world had ever seen. Designed to put the movement of the watch at the forefront, it had a tour [...]

In 2017, Bell Ross introduced the BR03-92 Diver as the first dive watch in their well-known square case, and 2018 brought updated versions with a blue dial and this limited edition in bronze. The Bell Ross BR03-92 Diver Bronze goes further than a dial and bezel color with an all-bronze case, of course, but it otherwise retains more or less all the things I loved about t [...]

After designing both a race car and a motorcycle in concept, Bell Ross designers have turned to the skies for the latest challenge-but this time, to design an aircraft capable of actually competing in the Reno Air Races in record-breaking style. Why? To serve as inspiration for a watch collection, of course-because if surrounding heritage or inspiration [...]
