Fun Facts About Bell & Ross

About Bell & Ross’s Collections
In 2005, the BR 01 Instrument was born of a simple idea to turn a cockpit timepiece into the very best aviation watch Switching, as if by magic “from the cockpit to the wrist”, the BR 01 affords the luxury of overturning the aesthetic codes of contemporary watchmaking, which in turn has made it an icon. The iconic BR 03 Collection was directly inspired by this concept.
Awards and Accolades
In 1997, Bell & Ross became the leader in professional diving watches with the launch of the HYDROMAX®, an iconic model which still holds one of the most impressive records in the history of diving watch production. Designed to response to the most extreme conditions encountered in professional diving, the HYDROMAX® can withstand a pressure of 1 110 bar, equivalent to a depth of 11,100 meters, thanks to a major technical innovation: a case entirely filled with a patented transparent fluorinated oil.
