From cockpit to wrist

Because Bell & Ross watches perfectly meet the demands of extreme men, Bell & Ross has become a benchmark watchmaking House in the world of professional users. Today, astronauts, fighter pilots, divers, deminers or even elite police officers and gendarmes use Bell & Ross watches as a tool in the service of their missions.

Totally "Ghostly"

Renowned for its aviation-inspired aesthetics and sense of aeronautical design, Bell & Ross manufactures its watches in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, guaranteeing impeccable quality. The BR 01 collection reproduces the specifications required by the air force, with unique square cases in black ceramic or stainless steel that reference on-board instruments.

With its 46 mm diameter, this BR 01-94 Phantom isn't afraid to show off! But its relatively low thickness means it can be worn comfortably by a large number of people. It features a bead-blasted black PVD finish, the same found within the dashboards of stealth aircraft, undetectable but never totally invisible.

But this Phantom version doesn't stop at its black PVD steel case! It also offers an all-black dial that's perfectly legible at night thanks to a photoluminescent coating specially developed by Bell & Ross.

Using the brand's distinctive typography, with enlarged hour markers along the outer dial, this BR-01-94 Phantom is nonetheless incredibly legible. Add to this its bold, deep-black hands on a matte-black dial, and you have a pure cockpit instrument - as an aviation watch should be. The proportions of the dial are perfectly studied, creating an unrivalled graphic balance that draws the eye directly to the relevant information with ease. We particularly like the way the French brand integrates the date window at 4:30. Round and color-matched, it's meant to be discreet.

Finally, this watch is powered by the ETA 2894-2. This caliber is a veritable tractor, beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and offering 40 hours of power reserve.
