Vintage Collection

Bell & Ross has designed the VINTAGE COLLECTION as an homage to the aviators of the 1940’s, who were the first professionals to use the wristwatch as a tool on their missions. The brightly polished, luxurious contours of the new VINTAGE OFFICER watches give these professional instruments an elegant appearance. Their impeccable finish is a reminder that attention is paid to every detail when producing exceptional watches.

A VINTAGE watch
The watches in the Bell & Ross VINTAGE COLLECTION share the same characteristics, particularly their inspiration, shape and movement:
• The traditional shape of the round case is reminiscent of period wristwatches while its ergonomic design is compatible with the comfort expected by modern wearers.
• The domed crystal recalls the crystals of the 1940’s. Unlike the original, however, it is produced using extremely strong sapphire as a result of improved production techniques.
• The refined dial graphics optimize readability, taking their inspiration from cockpit instruments.
• A choice of two quality Swiss movements: an hours, minutes and seconds version (BR 123) and a chronograph version (BR 126).
The OFFICER line, elegant finishes
The new VINTAGE OFFICER watches are functional models whose elegance is derived as much from its simple shape as from its quality finish and materials.
• The polished steel case gives this sophisticated watch a stylish sheen, accentuating its shape with panache.
• Two dials with traditional finishes:
SILVER: faithful to period watches, the silver sunburst dial subtly produces opalescent reflections. The watch’s hands, numerals and index are a singularly elegant tone-on-tone steel.
BLACK: for perfect readability, the steel hands and index on this model contrast with the black dial, reflecting the principles of readability found in professional instrument panel components. This elegantly subdued watch with its refined sunburst dial is timelessly chic.

The final touch – the watch’s alligator strap serves to enhance the cachet of this top-of-the-line model.
Refined style
A new creation in the VINTAGE COLLECTION, the VINTAGE OFFICER watches are distinguished by their unpretentious luxury. True to their vintage spirit, they can nonetheless be clearly identified as Bell & Ross watches.

Wow, anche per me è la prima volta che questo marchio presenta qualche cosa che mi aggrada. Però Bell & Ross non ha una storia che va tanto indietro.......

Breve cronologia:



1993 • Bruno Belamich and Carlos A. Rosillo, two boyhood friends, joined forces for one of the most beautiful adventures in watchmaking of the late 20th century. They decided to launch a simple idea: “function shapes form.” Efficiency, legibility, and reliability were the three words that would define the Bell & Ross brand.
Indisputably the most brilliant idea of the two young inventors – when they started out as watchmakers – was, from the start, to closely collaborate with Sinn, a highly reputable manufacture. Sinn specialised in the production of dashboard meters.

Space One and Hydro were the fruit of this collaboration..

The second key idea was to get the adventure off the ground by giving the brand a strong identity as an efficient chronometer, to meet the needs of the most exacting user. Immediately adopted by NATO and the Air Force, Bell and Ross also found takers within the French security service’s bomb disposal squad. To make the point, they created Hydromax, the most reliable watch in the world, for deep underwater work, with the world abyssal record for water resistance to 11,000 meters. They also managed to restore with great success the taste for pilot watches that had flourished in the 50s and 60s, but which had since been forgotten.

1994 • Bell & Ross re-issued the Space 1, the first automatic chronometer to be worn in space, by the German astronaut Reinhart Furrer on the Spacelab mission in 1983.

1996 • Creation of the Bell & Ross Bomb Disposal Type, ordered for use by the bomb disposal unit of the French Security Services. The watch had an anti-magnetic, A-magnetic case, and the legibility, reliability and precision to meet the very special needs and constraints of bomb disposal operations.

1997 • World water resistance record awarded to Bell & Ross for the Hydro Challenger (11,000 meters in Guinness Book of Records).

1998 • The Space 3 chronograph brought together all of Bell & Ross’ know how. It is equipped with a screwed down, telescopic retractable winding crown, known as the T-Crown system, which enabled the winding crown to be fully incorporated within the depth of the case. Chanel Horlogerie took a shareholding in the capital of Bell and Ross.

2000 • Second increase in the Chanel stake, but Bell & Ross retained a majority holding.

2001 • Bell & Ross unveiled the modern multifunction men’s watch Function, combining classic style with the modern movement’s analog and digital display.

2002 • First jumping hour hand watch with power reserve indicator. The Vintage 123 Heure Sautante was the fruit of cooperation between Bell and Ross and the Swiss master watchcraftsman Vincent Calabrese. Equipped with an automatic movement, this grande complication offered an easy, original way to tell the time. End of the collaboration with Sinn and autonomous production at Chatelain in Chaux des Fonds.

2003 • Bell & Ross paid timely homage to the ladies with the Mystery Diamond, that magically concealed the secret mystery of its weightlessness: A diamond floats and turns between the crystal and the dial to show the time.

2005 • Introduction of the BR 01 Instrument, the wristwatch born of an airplane clock.

Piccola storia alle spalle ma prezzi grossi.
Ho visto nel catalogo complicazioni tipo il turbo, poichè usano sempre eta, non è farina del loro sacco.
Chi le fornisce?

Se non erro il turbo di B&R è della BNB Concept...
