Although electronic military watches are readily available - featuring everything from GPS navigation to a barometer and altitude alarm, there is still an extremely healthy market for high-quality, mechanical pieces that have combat credentials.
In 1992, a team of designers & specialists of aircraft and space controls joined with a set project: to create watches perfectly suited to professional use. Their will: to be part of the great Swiss watchmaking tradition while meeting the demands of men facing extreme situations. Nowadays astronauts, pilots, divers and bomb disposal experts use Bell & Ross watches as tools used for their missions.
The Bell & Ross Vintage 126 XL Edicion Limitada is the ultimate collectable chronograph for connoisseurs of cigars. This unique timepiece is limited to 99 pieces and is sold with a humidor fitted with a humidifier and hygrometer, holding up to 50 cigars.
This is the kind of watch that you don't want to meet in a dark alley: the new Bell & Ross BR 01 Tourbillon is aptly named the 'Phantom'. And like sightings of ghosts, this Phantom is limited - with Bell & Ross only offering 18 pieces! Cloaked in black with silver tourbillon, the hands and indexes are coated in photoluminescent for night time reading. Virtually unscratchable, its coating is glass bead blasted titane with Diamond Like Carbon. Finally, it's 46mm diameter case completes it as a heavyweight in the luxury watch market. Watchluxus' verdict: VIW (Very Important Watch).
