The Bell & Ross legend begins in the cockpit of an airplane and is inspired by aviation instruments. Driven by the ambitions of designing watches, Bell & Ross watches set the highest goals for precision, legibility and reliability with their outstanding features.

In just a century, the biplane pioneered by the Wright brothers evolved into a hurricane fighter. Regardless of the era and the device itself, the watch is always a navigation assistant for the crew, providing pilots with flight support. For military purposes, pilots have more stringent requirements for time and course. This is why Bell & Ross watches, inspired by military purposes, adhere to strict military specifications.

HERITAGE nostalgia classic series: horizontal concept

  Today, Bell & Ross watches and their brilliant predecessors have traditionally inherited from the same vein. Therefore, when Bell & Ross decided to launch a watch series that promoted the important era of aviation history in 2009, there was no more appropriate name than HERITAGE.

   The unique feature of the BRHeritage series is that it is a collection of multiple models with different forms and different functions, which share the same concept.

   Color and retro-style gloss are used to express the passing of time and become a common feature of square watches, round watches, three-hand watches or chronograph watches. This aesthetic effect, coupled with the black background designed by Bell & Ross, and the beige color scheme, bring a classic style to the watch market. Today, BRV2-92 and BR V2-94SteelHeritage opens a new chapter in this flagship series.

A new watch for history

   Since 2009, Bell & Ross has paid tribute to pocket watches since World War I and flying devices since 1940. Today, the Vintage series enters its third generation, and new models have witnessed design changes.

   The new model features a classic black dial and traditional sand-colored numerals 12, 3, 6, and 9, and time seems to settle over time. The latest watchmaking technology and modern materials that combine precision with vintage spirit make the new watches show contemporary style while at the same time evoking people’s memories of the past.

   In detail, a slightly smaller 41 mm diameter polished / satin-finished stainless steel case, buttons and screw-tightened crown strengthens the watch’s water resistance; round lugs with a new metal chain bracelet ensure user comfort; sapphire Crystal and hyper-curve decoration evoke the feelings of antique watches.

   The BRV2-92 and BRV2-94SteelHeritage are inspired by the aircraft dashboard of the 1960s, creating precise nostalgia while precision timing. Heritage nostalgic and classic nature, Vintage steel spirit.
