It now presents two new timepieces in the Vintage BR A\u00e9ronavale collection paying tribute to the watches worn by aviators in the 1940s-1950s : a three-hand model, the BR 123 ; along with the BR 126 chronograph. These timepieces are inspired by the color codes of naval officers\u2019 uniforms. In both versions, the gilt hours and minutes hands stand out clearly against a sunburst sea-blue dial background. This elegant contrast thus ensures excellent legibility, one of the four fundamental principles that continue to forge the reputation of Bell &amp; Ross. Offering an intelligent touch of vintage charm, the French brand protects the dial of these two selfwinding watches with an ultra-convex sapphire crystal reminiscent of old-school Plexiglas, while simultaneously heightening its resistance to pressure. These remarkable versatile new Vintage A\u00e9ronavale models with their casual chic appeal should appeal to watchmaking enthusiasts well beyond military circles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bell &#038; Ross has always been passionate about aviation and military history.
