Bell Ross is not what I would call an underdog brand, but their BR02 dive watch certainly has been an underdog. Not appreciated to its full extent, this is a really cool timepiece that deserves a bit of extra attention. I dont recall the exact year the BR02 made its debut, but it was on the coattails of the BR01 at the height of its popularity. Moving th [...]

You know what Bell Ross needed? A good pilot watch. Boy, Ill say their collection was missing one of those. THANKFULLY the brass over there figured it out and came up with these nice timepieces for flying. Our hearts can rest easily now phew! In all seriousness, these are additional pilot watches for the brand which prides itself on its pilot a [...]

A few years ago Bell Ross released their first womens version of the BR 01 style watch called the BRS (which I first discussed here). The idea of the watch was to be a smaller, more fashion oriented version of the BR 01 done in ceramic. Available in black or white ceramic, it is hard to argue that Bell Ross wasnt at least partially influenced by the [...]

The BR 01 (BR01) watch collection is probably the most iconic timepiece of the Bell Ross brand, and one of the most influential timepieces of last decade. Exactly where did it come from and why is it so popular? Bell Ross as a brand is highly inspired by the German brand Sinn. In fact, one of the founders of Bell Ross worked at Sinn, [...]

Bell Ross has not forgotten about you BR02 lovers! The BR02 is Bell Rosss most modern dive watch and a piece that, I think, has gone too far under the radar in the last few years. It makes sense that with all their focus on vintage/heritage/original aviation pieces there wasnt very much room in the spotlight for a thoroughly modern Bell Ross [...]

In addition to the piece unique watch that Bell Ross has created for the Only Watch 2011 watch auction, it looks like they will have a few of these Bell Ross BR01 Casino watches for sale. The Only Watch 2011 version has a black and gold dial and is done in all 18k pink gold (some of it is PVD coated black) . The standard version will be more [...]

As Bell Ross retreats into the history of timepieces to create more vintage, original, and heritage timepieces, we see an increasingly interesting range of retro designs as only Bell Ross can do it. This year Bell Ross has gone all the way back to the origins of the wrist watch with the WW1. The name means wrist watch 1, but not so ironically sounds like world [...]

A few years ago Bell Ross began to experiment with ceramic watches. The first real collection was the BRS, a smaller square cased model that was, to an extent, a womens watch. It was thin and lovely and ended up on the wrists of more women than men. There were also ceramic versions of the BR03 a 42mm wide version of the 46mm wide BR01. Those ceramic models had a lot of dif [...]

Back in 2003, when the BR01 was a fresh pup, Bell Ross released this Diver 300 Chronograph watch. There is actually a similar watch called the Bell Ross Type Aeronavale (of which an image is placed here). The Diver 300 Chronograph is a great looking dive style watch that bridges a look between the modern versus old. True to Bell Ros style, it is an effortl [...]

I previously wrote about the new for 2010 Bell Ross Vintage Heritage collection and Vintage Original watches here. Though at the time I wasnt sure of their exact names (not sure if Bell Ross did either). In that post I discussed the Bell Ross Vintage Heritage BR 123 and 126 watches, as well as the beige colored Vintage Origina [...]

If you didnt get enough of the Bell Ross BR01 Airborne youll love the new Tourbillon Airborne. Check out some jewelry versions of it here. The skull in square shape adopts the BNB Concept made (from back when it was around) tourbillon movement used first in the Bell Ross BR01 Tourbillon. The movement has a regulator style of telling the time, [...]

If I could go back and add an additional watch to my Top 5 watches at Baselworld 2010, it would be this new collection from Bell Ross. Last year, one of their hottest models was the BR01-92 Instrument Heritage (that I wrote about here). It had a new (old) type of vintage aircraft cockpit dial design and a tan leather strap that [...]

The below article was written by contributor Marco, who sells Bell Ross watches.By now, most people that know of it know that the Bell Ross BR-01 watch was conceived to look like the instruments in an airplane cockpit - namely the altimeter or other similar analog gauges. Airplanes necessitate plenty of gadgets to run, however, so Be [...]

I wanted to double up on my coverage of nice, (relatively, in the luxury watch sense) affordable military style watches that were unveiled at Baselworld 2010. I just spoke about the Tag Heuer Formula i Khaki that has a green military strap and dial. Now I would like to share with you th [...]

Both of these watches are Bell Rosses, and both are BR01 watches. Though they are like twins separated at birth. One went the path of luxury while the other spent their years in a discipline rich military environment. I like that two personalities can come from the same type of origin, and both are useful watches in their own re [...]

Bell Ross added a new complication to the BR-01 series with the BR-01 93. The BR-01 93 GMT adds the a second timezone function that is displayed with a second hour hand on a 24 hour graduated bezel. This automatic-winding timepiece is geared towards travelers. By setting the 24 hour clock to Greenwich Meantime, the local time can be calc [...]

Indulge in a venerable orgy of carbon fiber as it caresses your wrist and arouses your eyes. I just made myself laugh with that last comment. But really, for carbon fiber watch lovers, youll be happy to know Bell Ross is there for you. In more ways one? case, strap, and dial. New in this BR01 limited edition watch collection are two all carbon fiber watch. T [...]

Bell Ross was one of the original companies to offer an all-black watch. The BR-01 Phantom was offered as a limited edition of 500 pieces of the basic model and 500 of the chronograph. The Phantom attracted a lot of attention and both models sold out faster then any other color BRs offered by the manufacturer. The BR-03 Phanto [...]

It finally happened, Bell Ross is giving everyones favorite square watch a metal bracelet. Actually, let me clarify. They are testing it out on the BR03 watch models. Seen here is one of the first of these types maybe the first ever in a retail store. It is the BR03-92 watch with the new style metal bracelet tha [...]
