Approaching the BaselWorld 2019, Bell&Ross becomes more active as usual. Today I want to show you two pieces for which I received the press release recently: BR 03-92 Blue Steel and BR V1-92 Blue Steel. Two pieces inspired by aviation. One in the spirit of modern square Bell&Ross and one with a vintage pilot’s watch savour.
Bell&Ross BR 03-92 Blue Steel
The signature square Bell&Ross Collection BR 03-92 welcomes a new blue dialed watch – the BR 03-92 Blue Steel.
The 42mm stainless steel case received a satin finish to highlight the blue sunray dial. To make everything visible, the numerals and indexes are coated in Super-
LumiNova®. The skeletonised hands also are Super-LumiNova®-filled for great legibility, regardless of light conditions.

Bell&Ross is one of those active brands that comes with novelties all year round. Some brands prefer to launch almost all pieces at once. Which is the best approach? I have no idea! I am no market expert. But, I am happy to see every time the new variations and ideas that Bell&Ross has to offer. Since I am a big fan of blue watches, these two pieces drown my attention. The prices are 2,990 € for the BR 03-92 Blue Steel and 2,200 € for the BR V1-92 Blue Steel. For more info check the Bell&Ross Website.
