Bell & Ross looks to alpine soldier units for the inspiration behind its new timepiece
Bell & Ross’s latest watch may be part of its camouflage range, but it stands out with its wintry white aesthetic and signature square silhouette. The watchmaker’s designs take inspiration from precision military timepieces, both in their rugged look and reliable and precise timekeeping. The new BR 03-92 White Camo is no exception, this time taking its cues specifically from the world of alpine soldier units.
This influence comes through in the print splashed across the dial, reflecting the unit’s uniform. When it comes to military timepieces, legibility is key, and much attention has been paid to make the time easy and effortless to read. This includes large numerals, with photo luminescent coating applied to hands, indices and numerals.
Putting the watch through its paces will be the brand’s latest ambassador, professional bobsleigh driver Axel Brown. The Team GB athlete will be wearing the timepiece as he competes in the upcoming season, hoping to qualify for the Olympic Games.
