Bell & Ross Watches

Here is a new professional diving watch designed by Bell & Ross to be extremely readable and water resistant. The BR02 watch is fitted with photoluminescent large hands and indexs to make it easier to read while deep sea diving. The unidirectional inside bezel graduated to 60 mn is marked by photoluminescent indexs and provides great visibility when underwater. The water resistance is 1,000 M and during deep sea diving, its decompression valve balances the pressure inside the case with pressure outside the case. The BR02 Instrument also provides optimum comfort through the ergonomics of the case and the flexibilty of the strap. The case is 44 mm in diameter and is made of a 316L glass bead blasted steel with a vacuum carbon black finish. The crystal is anti-reflective to make sure visibilty is not impaired. This new dive watch from Bell & Ross costs a little over $4800 which seems a little steep considering you can find a Bell & Ross Hydromax for well under three grand.

Bell & Ross recently released two Limited Edition Instrument wristwatch models. They released the BR01 Instrument Red and the BR01 Instrument Yellow, which actually consist of two versions each, so there are actually four models. The model numbers end with either a 92 or a 94. The models that end with 92 have automatic movements and the models that end with 94 have automatic chronograph movements. Each version is limited to 500 pieces, which is a respectable number for a limited edition. I hate when manufacturers make over 1000 pieces and then abuse the term "limited edition".
