The latest novelties from watch manufacture Bell & Ross have been rather elaborate. Now, they go back to basics for what a watch is originally made for – telling us the time. And to add some more comfort on that function, Bell & Ross has put focus on its readability, not only during daylight, but also in the pitch dark.
Bell & Ross watches are inspired by battleplane-cockpits
First of all it is important to understand that Bell & Ross mainly stands for instrument inspired watches. They have always taken their inspiration from plane cockpit watches and are famous for their square-shaped military style watchcases. For this the brand has continuously studied military equipment: First World War pocket watches, Second World War flight instruments with special functions and 1960s instrument panels.
The Superluminova C3 shines bright for a clear readability during the dark
At Baselworld 2018, Bell & Ross introduces the BR 03-92 Nightlum. The hands, numerals and indices are coated in Superluminova C3, which makes it almost impossible, not to be able to read the time. It even shines bright in the pitch dark. The hands, numerals and indices support the readability as they are made extra large and are reminiscent of the graphics traditionally used by Bell & Ross. We already had a sneak preview of the watch and are convinced by its very clear readability.
Military-Look – the calfskin strap in grey-green
Combat pilots face the darkness during night, but also the sun impact during day. Therefore the sapphire glass is anti-reflecting – another feature to guarantee a clear readability at any daytime. Bell & Ross enthusiasts will love its simplicity. The case is made of black matte ceramic, simple but functional and precious. We shall not forget that it still is a luxury watch. To round this look up the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Nightlum is equipped with a grey-green calfskin strap.
Conflict, although devastating, often drives innovation; and OMEGA’s new Seamaster Limited Edition timepieces are rooted in World War II history. Between 1940 and 1945, OMEGA delivered more than 110,000 timepieces to the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) for use within the Royal Air Force or Navy. The watches were valued by British airmen and sailors…
Breitling has been enjoying a new lease of life since mid-2017, under the new leadership of Georges Kern.

When Kern took over as CEO, he…

A near-fatal diving accident is responsible for Swiss watch manufacture Blancpain’s significant contribution to the mechanical diving watch.

A passion for mechanical timepieces is often dismissed as nostalgic – as if a love of precision, mechanics and artisanal excellence were somehow out of step with the modern world. With the Patek Philippe Rare Handcrafts 2025 collection, the manufacture once again demonstrates the very opposite: as rare as the skill required to create these…

Foremost among these is the famous three-bridge tourbillon, which Constant Girard built for the first time in 1867. A unique construction, it is as functional as it is aesthetic with its…
The perpetual calendar is surely one of the most complex challenges in wrist-watchmaking. The system is based on the Gregorian calendar, which was calculated by pope Gregor XIII in 1582 and is quite inconsistently bearing in mind the different days per month and not to forget the leap years. It’s a complex mathematical calculation and…
