Bell & Ross BR01-094 S Red Limited Edition Luxury Watch Review

http://www.thewatchbox.com/watches/bell-ross Bell & Ross has defined the 21st century look of the aviation watch with the imagery of 20th century analog cockpit technology. "Instrument" series models like this 46mm BR01-94-S-Red limited edition of 500 pieces have created a cult following for the Paris-based, Swiss-manufactured watch brand. Bell & Ross had been in business for over a decade when it launched the Instrument Series watches at Baselworld in 2005, but that moment is the one that has written the course of the company's subsequent history. With a look pulled straight from the flight deck of vintage aircraft, the Instrument watches broke with the generic (and often stale) "tool watch" forms that had been circulating in the luxury watch sector for decades. Each Bell & Ross BR01-94-S-Red features the now classic "gauge on the wrist" style that set enthusiast hearts aflutter and launched the brand into the limelight. A 46mm PVD-treated stainless steel case keeps the “flight deck” theme going strong. Of course, the BR01-94-S-Red features a few notable distinctions from even the charismatic mainstream of the Instrument line. This aviation-inspired chronograph features an all-red font employing the rarely seen red variant of Super LumiNova luminescent paint.
