The Bell & Ross Instrument BR01 Pro Titanium displays hours, minutes and seconds, as well as a 3-counter chronograph with 12-hour, 30-minute and 60-second. A date is also displayed in a small window between the four and five o'clock hour markers. The mechanical-automatic chronograph movement is an ETA 2894 chronograph caliber movement which offers an excellent precision of adjustment. The watch is water resistant to 100 meters.
Bell & Ross' collection of BR 01 Tourbillon watches has expanded yet again! This newest version is made in beautiful 18 karat rose gold and is my favorite by far. The 18 karat rose gold compliments the trademark square shaped case extremely well and the rose gold aspects of the dial are superb. You may choose the watch either entirely in 18 karat rose gold or 18 karat rose gold and titanium-coated black DLC.
The Bell & Ross Instrument BR 01 Tourbillon Gold has a large case size at 46mm, and both the front and back of the watch have scrath-proof sapphire crystal. The dial is made from carbon fiber and rose gold and shoes hours and minutes, movement power reserve and a trust index in the rose gold center. A window at 6 o'clock shows the tourbillon escapement. The Tourbillon gold features a manual winding movement with a carbon fiber main plate. The complications include a regulator, a precision indicator and a power reserve indicator. The power reserve is up to 120 hours. You have the choice of an alligator or Bell & Ross-signed rubber sports strap with a broad ardillon buckle in rose gold. The Water resistance for this model is rated for 100 meters.
Swiss luxury watch brand Bell & Ross has announced a special variant of its BR 01-97 Power Reserve wristwatch which has been specially created for a Peugeot concept car slated for exhibition at the upcoming 2010 Geneva Auto Show. Immediately distinguishable from any other Bell & Ross Instrument BR reference with its striking three dimensional dial and pale cream colored leather strap, this stylish timekeeping object has a special trick up it's sleeve: the ability to be integrated at will into the Peugeot SR1 car's dashboard instrumentation. The result could be described as a futuristic interpretation of the functional yet appealing pairing between vintage and classic motorcars and the analog timers and clocks these automobiles frequently featured.
The Bell & Ross SR1 Concept Watch is crafted from stainless steel, and measures 46mm x 46mm. In the fundamental dimensions and finishing of the case, it is essentially identical to the brand's well-received BR 01-97 Power Reserve. However, the dial of the SR1 Concept watch certainly attains uniqueness with a texture that resembles the crystalline patterns of a snowflake. In order to create the complex patterns on the dial's metal surface, Bell & Ross made use of specialized machining operations that are among the most advanced in current use. Amidst the light-catching ridges are the four large Arabic hour marks in relief, as well as an engraved scale for the power reserve indication and its small white hand between six and eight o'clock. The boldly faceted hour and minute hands are in nickel-plated steel and present an extremely technical impression--one which coordinates superbly with the dial design, as well as the grandiose sweeping lines and futuristic gauges of the Peugeot SR1 Concept Car interior.
According to a press release from Bell & Ross, the Peugeot SR1 Concept watch is a one-off creation, and will not be produced in series. Technically, the watch utilizes an ETA 2897 self-winding movement, which offers a rapid advance date display, central seconds with a hacking function, and as mentioned above, a power reserve complication. Water resistance is 100 meters, and the knurled crown is of screw-down design. The smoothly grained leather strap is made from the same leather as the upholstery of the Peugeot Concept Car and joins to a Bell & Ross tang buckle in brushed stainless steel.
