Bell & Ross just sent us a preview of their new BR01 Aviation Collection which consists of three models: Airspeed, 97 Climb, Heading Indicator.

All models come in the iconic 46 mm square Bell & Ross case. Each model comes in a black matte PVD coated stainless steel case with screw-in crown, rubber and heavy-duty synthetic fabric strap with matching black buckle, sapphire crystal with anti-glare coating, 100 meter water-resistance and an ETA movement (ETA 2892 powers the BR01-92 Heading and Airspeed, and an ETA 2897 powers the BR01-97 Climb - the difference is that the latter has a date function). The functions and dials are what separate the models.

On September 15th, Bell & Ross displayed the new timepieces of its Vintage Collection at the prestigious and historic Cercle National des Armées.

At the opening, the three lines of the Vintage Collection-the Original, Heritage and Officer-were introduced. These new timepieces draw their inspiration from the pilots' watches of the 40's and 50's, and are all faithful to the original inspiration of the brand.

Guests moved among the watch displays, hosted workshops and the comfortable club chairs that were scattered throughout the room. There was a buffet with tasting stations and a horology workshop where one could admire the expertise of a Bell & Ross watchmaker. Guests also had the opportunity to be photographed as a pilot from the '40's in front of a Vintage Collection background.

After Bell & Ross chairman, Carlos-A.Rosillo's speech, there was an award ceremony for the winners of the to the photo contest that had been held through the Bell&Ross website.

Almost 500 people were present at this event. Influential media figures rubbed elbows with military representatives, professional pilots, politicians, and watch making industry leaders, all sharing their common passion for watch making.
