Bell & Ross has created the VINTAGE COLLECTION to pay tribute to the aviators of the 1940s who were the first professionals to consider the wris****ch as an aid to their missions.

2011 now sees the addition of a new model to the Vintage Collection: the Vintage Original Carbon. Bell & Ross has used the latest technologies to combine the authenticity of vintage watches with the legibility principles of an instrumentation panel, all in a single wris****ch.
A vintage case for a modern watch

• The circular case is reminiscent of the wris****chesfrom a bygone era.

• The anti-glare, matt black carbon finish is inspired by the colour of an instrumentation panel, designed to make the dials easier to read by eliminating glare.

• The white hands and index marks provide a contrast against the black background of the dial, adopting
the legibility principles of professional aviation instruments. With a photo-luminescent coating, these are clearly readable both during the day and at night.

• The ultra-curved glass gives the watch a vintage look.  Unlike the original version, it is made from highly-resistant sapphire crystal, reminiscent of the intensive use made of on-board flight instrumentation.

Two quality Swiss movements are available: an authentic hours, minutes and seconds version (BR 123) and a chronograph version (BR 126).

The Vintage Original Carbon reinforces the consistency and synergy between all of the brand’s collections.

It perfectly illustrates the Bell & Ross philosophy: to create watches of a professional vocation for which legibility, functionality, accuracy and reliability are the priority.
