Another day, another Bell&Ross. I’ve always loved B&R and I’m still loving them thanks to their new WWI line. They kind of blew their wad on the square BR line so they moved into a more heritage look and I’m glad they did. The WW1-92 is a circular watch with a huge diameter and faux wire lugs that simulate the original pilots watches from way back when.

Bell & Ross, not content to rest on their aviation laurels, has released the WWI-92 edition, a watch based on a World War I era pocket watch. The watch is strikingly simple – just a black face with silvered hands and case – and the 97 version has a reserve de marche and all models feature welded lugs, a wonderful detail that hearkens back to the days when wristwatches were actually pocket watches with bars soldered onto them so they could be worn on the wrist.

Well, if you happen to be driving an Infiniti, that is – and you happen to be one of a fortunate 200 people.  Bell & Ross have introduced a new 44 mm timepiece in the form of the  BR02-8 Carbon Case Purple 8 Pro Dial.  The tie to the Infiniti brand is slightly tenuous, in my opinion.  Read more…

Bell & Ross has come out with a new line they’ve dubbed their Vintage Collection.  As with all of their watches, they are heavily-influenced and informed by aviation and the delightful (from a style perspective) analog gauges that can be found in old planes.

Of this collection (which is comprised of the Original, Heritage, and Officer models), I’m most drawn to the Heritage pieces – there’s just something about B&R’s use of black and tan in the color combinations that draws me in. Read more…

While I’ll admit that the words “vintage officer” make me think of a drunken war hero who graduated college, I’m quite enamored by the look of this new B&R chrono. It has a definite Speedmaster feel to it. Ir runs a nice ETA 2895 for the three hand version (the 123) and a 2894 for the 126 chrono version. It is 41mm and comes in steel with anti-reflective domed crystal.

I’m totes down with B&R and this seems like a step in the right direction. This BR03, a bit smaller than the BR04, has a large steel bracelet that I always though was missing on the Bell&Ross jumbos.

ABlogtoRead has the full dope on the watch.

Bell & Ross, creators of the “giant square instrument dial watch” recently announced a new addition to their product line, the BR Heritage. Based on the original Bell & Ross design, which was itself based on the airplane instrument dials of the 1940′s, B&R is getting back to their roots with this new Heritage.

Available in either a 46mm or 42mm size, the Heritage uses an automatic ETA 2892 movement, and is available with a black face and sand colored paint on the numbers, marks, and hands. You can choose between either a printed leather strap or a “heavy duty” fabric version if you don’t want their logo all over your wrist. Personally I think I’d go with the fabric in this case.

Rumor puts it at around $4000, but no official word on when they’ll be out yet.
