Bell & Ross WW1 97 Reserve de Marche (BRWW197BLSTSCR)

But the Bell & Ross watch face seemed a little to small for the size of links. For me I couldn't read the numbers on the watch but if my eye sight was better I would not have returned it. For someone else I think it is a beautiful bracelet/watch.

Bell & Ross WW1 Argentium Ruthenium (BRWW1MEAGRUSCR)

I have often given Swiss Army watches as gifts and finally gifted myself. Fashionable enough for everyday and casual wear. Don't believe the band is leather, but I will replace it with one when this one wears out

For many years, Bell & Ross has also been working with the auto world for many years thanks to inventive sporting partnerships and the creation of exclusive dashboard clocks for concept cars.

An annual event for auto design professionals and fans, over the last 30 years the International Motor Show has become the event of the year for the biggest names in the auto and design world. From Chamonix to the Place Vendôme, from The Ritz to the Grand Palais, the International Motor Show has chosen sites promoting the values of luxury and prestige. In 2015, the event took place at the heart of the Hôtel National des Invalides - a jewel in French history.

To celebrate this 30th anniversary, Bell & Ross is launching an unique model of the BR 03. Employing the design principles of a dashboard clock, this watch-instrument immediately affirms its utilitarian vocation. Its PVD-coated steel case, the dial and rubber strap are jet black. For its part, the bright red second hand adds a subtle sporty touch.

At 6 o'clock, the dial of this 30th anniversary edition features the silhouette of a car - now the emblem of the International Motor Show. Available in a limited edition of only 30 pieces, the "30th anniversary" BR 03 was launched at the inauguration event held on the evening of 27th January 2015. It has been on sale throughout the event, during which Bell & Ross has also ben presenting its latest watch creations.

During the inauguration ceremony, a dozen grand prizes were awarded by a special jury. A member of the Jury, Carlos A. Rosillo, CEO of Bell & Ross, presented the prestigious Palme d'Or.

Designed to set the tempo for the first years of the twentieth century, watches had to adapt to endure the First World War. Functionality, reliability, precision and durability, thus, became the crucial properties. In order to protect the fragile glass covering the dial, some watches were protected behind fully fledged metal grilles.

With the Vintage WW2 Military Tourbillon - a limited edition of 20 pieces - Bell & Ross is reinterpreting this glorious watchmaking past, with an exceptional timepiece that incorporates four complications - tourbillon, precision indicator, regulator and power-reserve - within a 45 mm titanium casing, equipped with a protective cover.

Nowadays made from sapphire, watch glasses are very solid and no longer require protective shields. The cover of the WW2 Military Tourbillon becomes thus an integral part of the watch, which enhances the wearer's ability to read the dial thanks to its distinctive curves that emphasize the hands. The openings in the design of the metal reveal all of the information provided by the timepiece and its complications.

The crosswise layout of the various functions combines readability and functionality. The contrast of the matte black flange around the circumference of the dial, the "Côte de Geneve" decorated metallic surfaces and additional counters, which play on this contrast to reinforce readability, creates visual depth and a «three dimensional» effect.

Remaining loyal to its military inspiration in giving priority to the readability of short time cycles, the WW2 Military Tourbillon features a regulator movement, a watchmaking principle whereby hours and minutes are displayed via separate dials. While the minute hand has a central axis and sweeps across the entire dial, the hour hand has a dedicated miniature dial positioned at 12 o'clock.
At the 3 o'clock position, another hand (Trust Index), indicates the level of precision of the movement on the basis of the tension of the barrel spring. At 9 o'clock is the power reserve indicator (5 days).
Finally, the dial opens at 6 o'clock revealing the tourbillon's pink gold "cage", of which a rotation lasting one minute allows the Bell & Ross «&» symbol to play the role of a small second.

The Bell & Ross designers have opted to make the Vintage WW2 Military Tourbillon a link between yesterday, today and tomorrow. Although the casing seemingly stems from the past, with its shield, itspatina style and its oversized striated crown, it is made from satin-polished Grade 5 titanium, to which a PVD treatment lends a "gunmetal gray" color.
The use of a sophisticated material such as titanium enables the reconciliation of the 45 mm diameter of the casing with Bell & Ross requirements regarding weight and strength.

The bracelet, available in aged leather or brown alligator skin and reminiscent of the elegance of early wristwatches, plays the "wearer comfort" card thanks to its flexibility and the presence of movable lugs.
