Bell & Ross created its VINTAGE watches to pay homage to the military, in particular the pilots of the 1940s who were the first professionals to use the wristwatch as a tool to assist them in carrying out their missions. In keeping with this spirit, the new VINTAGE watches are simple, functional and timeless.
• The round casing, traditional in form, evokes memories of the wristwatch of a bygone era, ergonomically adapted for the comfort required by today’s men.
• The anti-glare matte black carbon finish is inspired by the color of an airplane’s instrument panel, which uses contrast to facilitate the reading of the dials, eliminating any glare.
• The vintage curved glass is produced from sapphire crystals
using techniques perfected over the years. The choice of this highly scratch resistant material is reminiscent of materials used in on- board instrumentation.
• The natural leather strap, like the watches of old, develops a rich patina over time.
• The dial, with its classic design, optimizes legibility, taking its
inspiration from an airplane’s dashboard clocks.
• The finish of the hands, index and the numerals is sand-colored, evoking the color of the dials in older watches.
The VINTAGE HERITAGE collection includes two quality movements: An hours, minutes and seconds version (BR 123) and a chronograph (BR 126) (ETA 2895 (123) et 2894 (126)).
