About Bell And Ross
Bell & Ross is an iconic and revered watch brand that was founded in 1992 as a university project by two boyhood friends, Bruno Belamich (Bell) and Carlos Rosillo (Ross). Their vision was simple and clear, the production of functional and durable timepieces that withstand the extreme conditions faced by special military forces, pilots, and divers during the execution of their assignments. The design objectives are captioned in four watchwords of legibility, functionality, reliability, and precision.
The first set of timekeeping tools produced by Bell and Ross were produced in Germany by Sinn Spezialuhren so that the early Bell and Ross wristwatches always come with the inscription 'Bell & Ross by Sinn' on their dials. The brand’s partnership with Sinn led to the creation of collections like Space 1, Demineur, Hydromax, etc. The company has many extraordinary pieces of watches to its name and has enjoyed huge success in commercials and sales but 1985 and 1997 were important dates in the rise to their famed celebrity.
The Hydro Challenger, functional at depth of 11,000 meters broke the Guinness abysmal ‘World water resistance record’ by a wristwatch in 1997 and another of its creativities, Space 1, became the first-ever automatic chronometer to be worn in space. In 2002, Bell and Ross parted ways with Sinn after the company’s acquisition by Chanel Horlogerie and had its production site moved to La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. This has been the center for the assemblage and fine-tuning of each of the brand's timepieces ever since.
Bell and Ross declared a defining moment in the watch industry after the launch of its BR01 in 2005. The BR 01 has a simple design with unique characteristics that makes it easily recognizable. This model was based on a round dial within a square case, a circle-square-style clock borne from the brand’s deep root in the aviation industry, the ultimate reference point for reliability and legibility. It also features an anti-reflective black dial (standard color) on a solid steel case fastened together by 4 screws specially engineered for that purpose.
With grating texture on the screw crown engraved with the trademark Bell and Ross logo, a 46mm case width, and a beautiful strap that integrates perfectly well with the lugs which gives the watch a seamless look, the BR 01 sits comfortably well on the wrist and is an element of great delight for collectors. In September 2009, the leading watch company announced an addition to its collection with the launch of yet another masterpiece, the BR 05. It is similar to earlier members of the BRX family but offers much more than any of them.
The BR 05 features an integrating case construction, that houses a round dial on a square case at a reduced angle than that of BR 01, and a perfectly flat satin laced bracelet or thick strap that fuses with the case. The bevel is polished and speaks volumes. This leaves the watch with a confident and smart style which gives it its dazzling and appealing look. It is very sleek and urban. It is a perfect timepiece for the corporate gentleman and would adorn the wrist equally well at an evening meet up.
BR 05 has 10 models that offer different feels and look and each person could be about sure to see a watch in the BR 05 collection that matches their taste and budget.
