Iconic Bell & Ross watches

Bell and Ross firmly established themselves at the pinnacle of specialist watchmaking with the introduction of the BR 01. Taking inspiration from aeronautical instrumentation, the model is a perfect replica of an aircraft cockpit watch where legibility and reliability are absolutely paramount. The design features large hands, easy to see numerals and perfect contrast. The BR 01 has found a lasting place on the watchmaking scene and has asserted itself as a reference model alongside those specialist brands that have been in existence for decades.

There have been over 150 variations of the BR 01, with some of the most sought after including the BR 01 Skull and Radar and limited editions such as the Airborne and Skull & Crossbones models as well as bronze, gem-set and luminescent variants. Likewise, the company’s first dive watch, the Hydromax, caused waves when it was first launched in 1997. Bell and Ross designed a rugged, reliable and professional solution to a marine environment. The Hydromax holds one of the most impressive records for water-resistance to 11,100 metres.
