Bell & Ross New Models Announcement - BR01 and BR03
Got some news on a few new Bell & Ross models to share... these will be launched after April 2008 (Basel).
"BR01 INSTRUMENT: From a cockpit timepiece to the BR01 INSTRUMENT
Because Bell & Ross watches perfectly meet the expectations of men who are living on the edge, Bell & Ross has become a benchmark brand name in the fi eld of high quality watchmaking and in the exclusive universe of professional users. Aeronautic instrumentation being the absolute reference as far as readability, reliability and performance is concerned, our designers attempted to reproduce a plane’s clock as accurately as possible in proportion
to the wrist."
Bell & Ross BR01 Instrument RED
Limited Edition of 500 pieces each.
"Continuing on from the ORANGE, BLUE and PHANTOM limited series, Bell & Ross has designed a new Instrument in a limited edition: the BR01 INSTRUMENT RED. In the professional world, colour is present as a visual and functional means of coding, particularly in aviation: each colour has its own meaning, its own function. In a cockpit saturated with information, each colour is attributed to a type of indication thereby optimising the readability of each function. In the information hierarchy the colour red is widely used to indicate danger. It is used both inside and outside the cockpit to code priority information. On a black dial, the red photoluminescent coating of the numbers, hands and index marks offer excellent readability. For day as well as night time reading, Bell & Ross offers two new Instruments, an automatic watch with 3 hands and a 3-counter automatic chronograph (hours, minutes,seconds) produced as a limited edition."

"The BR 03 INSTRUMENT
With its 42mm diameter, the BR03 INSTRUMENT is a real alternative to the BR01 INSTRUMENT XL, 46mm, a tailor-made tool. A true replica of an aircraft cockpit instrument, professional by its very nature, the BR 03 is first and foremost a utilitarian watch specially created for aircraft pilots. Designed for professionals seeking tools with total reliability, it satisfies four basic principles: readability, functionality, reliability and water-resistance."
Bell & Ross BR03 Instrument BLUE
Limited annual production.
"With the BR03 BLUE, Bell & Ross presents the colour contrast of cockpit counters that relays information. In the professional universe, colour is present as a means of visual and functional coding and more specifically in aviation. Blue is also an obvious reference to the sea and the sky, two universes dear to Bell & Ross. This blue from the depths of an abyss all the way up to dizzy heights. Blue, a primary colour, a symbol of protection.
On a black dial, the blue photoluminous coating of the numerals, hands and indexes offer optimum readibility in the day as well as at night."
