Bell & Ross BR 02 Watch Review

   The Bell & Ross BR-02 Watch is available in many different options making the choice even more difficult if you are in the market for one of these bad boys. One of the great features of this dive watch is the internal rotating locking bezel, it locks when bezel crown is screwed down. The dial, hands, and helium release valve have nice orange accents. The watch comes on rubber strap and is provided with a nylon strap as well. The rubber strap is more comfortable than that of the strap on the BR-01/BR-03 series in my opinion.  The watch is 1000m WR and uses an ETA 2892 automatic movement.

Pros - Bell & Ross has been making a big splash in the watch market the last of couple years and watches like this will keep them relevant.

Consideration - No bracelet is offered if this is a desire.

Bell & Ross BR01 Airborne Review

   The Bell & Ross BR01 Airborne mens watch is typical B&R, cutting edge and original. The BR01 design has fueled the brands rise in popularity to the top. This variation is no different, distinctive, bold, and unmistakably B&R. The Airborne incorporates skull and cross bones on the face into the case of the watch. The skull was used as reference to the US Airborne’s motto of “Death from Above” and glows a luminescent vibrant green. Equipped with dagger/sword hands and PVD coated case. This watch is limited to 500 pieces and is sure to be hard to locate.

Pros - Very unique piece, sure to be a collector’s item.

Consideration - Could you handle the inevitable scratch/ding you would get wearing this in the wild?

  The Bell & Ross BR01 series has helped put the brand on the map and the popularity has become infectious. The BR01 and BR03 are in the Instrument series, designed to look like a gauge from an instrument panel on an airplane.

  The BR01 series are 46mm and the BR01-94 is the PVD (black powdered coated) chronograph version. The chronograph is powered by an ETA 2894, the functions include 12 hour, 30 minute, and 60 seconds counters. The BR01-94 hands, numerals, and indices are painted in white lume. This gives the watch a fantastic contrast against the all black case, dial, and rubber strap. The chronograph pushers are rectangular in shape further complimenting the overall design of this watch. There is a small date window at the 4:30 position, nicely done not to distract from the main chronograph functions. It comes with two straps, one rubber, one nylon, with a PVD tang buckle.

Pros - Unique design, bold, looks great.

Consideration - Not a small watch, wears larger because it is square, an alternative would be the BR03 series.
