Bell & Ross

The Bell & Ross company motto is “The essential is never compromised by the superfluous.” If you are already familiar with their high performance function watches, then this comes as no surprise. Bell & Ross is all about keeping their utilitarian instruments practical, clean, and simple. Their beauty is purely secondary.

The primary goal of a Bell & Ross timepiece is: Readability, Precision, Performance, and Water Resistance. Every timepiece’s unique situation is thoroughly studied and tested by Bell and Ross’ large staff of field-experienced engineers. A Bell & Ross pilot’s watch is a “Cockpit on a Wrist.” It is purposefully designed to be precise and remain accurate under extreme situations, such as being violently jolted during evasive flight maneuvers or during rapid acceleration.

Its data must also remain constant in severe temperature drops in outer space on an astronaut’s wrist (yes, an astronaut; a Bell & Ross Automatic Chronograph was the 1st worn in space in 1983 on the wrist of a German Astronaut). Bell & Ross even has wristwatches able to withstand the shock and pressure change that a bomb disposal expert may experience during any random day on the job. Bomb disposal? Yes. The entire French Civil Defense Bomb Squad wears Bell & Ross.

The “BR Instrument Watch” is their best selling aero-naval series. It is available in three different sizes and four different materials:

Steel, Titanium, Ceramic and 18k Gold. Intriguing names within this group include “The Phantom” and “The Gold Ingot Watch”. Beyond this watch’s technical excellence, is its smart design; The wearer can make a few simple adjustments (by using the special tool included in their Bell & Ross owner kit) to convert their wristwatch into a pocket watch or fix it upon an existing instrument panel. Several special edition BR 01 models can even be further transformed into a desk clock! Markham Fine Jewelers has a complete selection of gents and ladies Bell and Ross BR Instrument Watches to choose from.

Everything single thing that Bell & Ross produces is practical yet very deluxe. Bell & Ross even applied its utilitarian principle when they cleverly designed their owner’s presentation box. A Bell and Ross long box has a thoughtful neatness that reminds you that you have something very special in front of you. You have a Bell & Ross! A pleasant surprise within the Bell & Ross long box is two model-specific BR tools as well as one completely different Bell & Ross bonus strap! This second strap is complete with an already-attached “BR” engraved metal buckle. This allows its owner to make a fast change and lets your “Wrist Instrument” enjoy a fresh alternative look. Bell & Ross produces an entire range of handmade colored reptile/leather straps to choose from.
