Founded in 1992 by Bruno Belamich and Carlos Rosillo in Paris, Bell & Ross specialises in Swiss-made watches for professionals, such as divers and pilots. At the just-concluded Watches and Wonders in Geneva, the timepiece maker unveiled three new timepieces — a GMT model, a diver’s watch and a rose gold variant, maintaining the signature roundness within square cases. In other words, all three are ‘round within a square’ timepieces.

The new BR 03-93 GMT Blue (Ref. BR0393-BLU-ST/SCA) is an instrument watch with a dual-time zone (GMT) functionality. Drawing inspiration from aircraft cockpits, the timepiece comes in a two-tone colour combination with a grey case, a grey-blue 24-hour bidirectional rotating bezel and a blue sunray dial.

The 42 mm stainless steel watch gets an anodised aluminium ring with Arabic numerals for 12 o’clock, 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock and 9 o'clock, hour markers coated with Super-LumiNova® and a blue date window at 4:30.

The metal skeletonised hands are also coated with Super-LumiNova® with a blue-red arrow for the GMT hand. Automatic, self-winding calibre BR-CAL.303 powers the watch, offering a power reserve of 42 hours. The watch is finished on a blue calfskin leather and ultra-resilient black synthetic fabric strap with a satin-polished steel buckle.

With 300-metre water resistance, the watch can be described as a quintessential diver’s watch that comes in a bronze case with four visible screws.

The screw-down crown at 3 o’clock comes with a crown guard. The watch is run by self-winding, automatic calibre BR-CAL.302 with a 38-hour power reserve. Turning the watch over reveals a diver’s helmet-engraved caseback of BR 03-92 in hypoallergenic stainless steel.

Seems timepiece makers have started to experiment not only with distinctive colours, but also with unique colour combinations. The BR 05 Green Gold (Ref. BR05A-GN-PG) timepiece comes in a 40 mm 18 ct rose gold case with four visible screws. The green sunray dial gets rose gold Arabic hour markers for its 12 o’clock, 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock and 9 o'clock, coated with Super-LumiNova®.

The dial also gets 18 ct rose gold skeletonised hour and minute hands filled with Super-LumiNova® and a date window at 3 o’clock with a screw-down crown, complete with a crown guard.

Powering the watch is BR-CAL.321 with 38 hours of power reserve. Turning the watch over showcases the sapphire caseback with an 18 ct rose gold-plated 360° oscillating weight. The model is finished on a 18ct rose gold bracelet or on a green alligator skin strap with a satin-polished 18 ct rose gold buckle.
All in all, variety seems to be the name of the game, as far as the new Bell & Ross collection is concerned.
