The Bell & Ross Collections: Vintage: As a tribute to pilots, who were the first professionals to use the wristwatch as a tool to assist them in carrying out their missions. Modern watches whose authentic design reflects that of a bygone era, the Vintage Collection was created for lovers of fine watchmaking. Aviation: It all started with a simple idea: to turn a cockpit instrument panel clock into a wristwatch. To create the BR 01 aviation watch, the designers took their inspiration from aeronautical instrumentation, the absolute reference point as far as readability, reliability and performance are concerned. Available in a number of versions depending on the mechanism?s functionality and dial color, the BR 01 watch has become an iconic watch for collectors of limited series. Marine: Water-resistant to 1,000 meters, legible in the darkness of the deep, equipped with a decompression valve and an adjustable bezel that is unidirectional, notched and calibrated to 60 minutes, the BR 02 watch is a diving instrument perfectly adapted for professional use.
