Bell & Ross revisits a military-style with three inspired watches for modern explorers.
Since Bell & Ross was founded, the brand has been passionate about military history and its functional and aesthetic archetypes.
This year, they unveiled three singular watches that evoke its three realms of expression: sea, air and land. Classic and modern, BR V2-93 GMT BLUE, BR V2-92 Military Green and BR V2-94 Aéronvale Bronze are driven by a reliable Swiss mechanical movement with automatic winding. The timepieces are equipped with a “NATO Stretch” strap with an effective closure system, created using parachute straps.
The GMT model can display two time zones at the same time. Its 41-mm round steel case is characteristic of the Vintage series, with integrated protection for the screw-down crown.
While the new BR V2-92 Military Green model designed a practical watch perfectly suited to all uses, it shares the same lineage as watches from the Bell & Ross “LUM” collection which are treated with green-coloured Super-LumiNova c3 to maximise their luminescent qualities.
In a nod to the Vintage BR Aéronavale collection, this year’s Bell & Ross went a step further and unveiled a new BR V2-94 Aéronavale Bronze in a limited edition of 999 pieces. It combines functionality and elegance while subtly reflecting the prestigious ceremonial uniform of French naval officers.
