Bell & Ross BR V2-92 Heritage Watch – A Thing of Beauty

Written by Lee King

Bell & Ross make some of the most beautiful watches on the planet and their latest release, Bell & Ross BR V2-92 Steel Heritage ($2900) is a real looker. For myself, I don’t normally buy watches over $600. In that price range, you can get all the requirements for a great daily wear watch. But I am seriously thinking about coming out of pocket for this watch. And all about its flawless looks.

Wrapped around the dial is a rotating steel bezel with an anodized black aluminum and 60-minute scale. Further adding to the watches amazing looks. The case is a perfectly sized 41mm satin-polished stainless steel, with a screw down crown, and sapphire case-back. The movement is their in-house BR-CAL.302. which is an automatic mechanical with hours, minutes, seconds, and date functions. The whole kit is capped off with an ultra-curved sapphire with anti-reflective coating. The water-resistance is rated at 100 meters which is good for the occasional shower and quick dips in the pool.
