Vintage Original Carbon © Bell & Ross
2011 now sees the addition of a new model to the Vintage Collection: the Vintage Original Carbon. Bell & Ross has used the latest technologies to combine the authenticity of vintage watches with the legibility principles of an instrumentation panel, all in a single wristwatch.
A vintage case for a modern watch
• The circular case is reminiscent of the wristwatches from a bygone era.
• The anti-glare, matt black carbon finish is inspired by the colour of an instrumentation panel, designed to make the dials easier to read by eliminating glare.
• The white hands and index marks provide a contrast against the black background of the dial, adopting the legibility principles of professional aviation instruments. With a photo-luminescent coating, these are clearly readable both during the day and at night.
• The ultra-curved glass gives the watch a vintage look. Unlike the original version, it is made from highly-resistant sapphire crystal, reminiscent of the intensive use made of on-board flight instrumentation.
Two quality Swiss movements are available: an authentic hours, minutes and seconds version (BR 123) and a chronograph version (BR 126).
The Vintage Original Carbon reinforces the consistency and synergy between all of the brand's collections.It perfectly illustrates the Bell & Ross philosophy: to create watches of a professional vocation for which legibility, functionality, accuracy and reliability are the priority.
