Bell & Ross BR01-94 Professional Titanium Carbon Fibre Watch Review

When Bell & Ross launched the "professional" form of the legendary square BR01 situation a couple of years back it had been pretty "wow." It had been possibly in an apex from the large aviator watch's recognition, and Bell & Ross was thinking about creating as diverse a variety of BR01 models as it may envision. That incorporated special edition versions in a variety of colors, and thematic products such as this advanced searching 'warrior's watch' in titanium having a carbon fibre dial. Same with the BR01-94 Professional Titanium Carbon Fibre still awesome or perhaps a indication of when watches such as this offered easier?



Bell & Ross first launched this BR01 Professional model in about 2008 (covered here), and also in 2009 a form of the BR01 Professional was launched within an all carbon fibre situation (covered here). This examined model is a mix of the 2. The situation is titanium as the dial is carbon fibre. As you can tell, Bell & Ross was truly attempting to offer something for everybody. We have been not impressed with carbon fibre before. Frequently in dials where its presence destroys legibility. That is not the situation here because Bell & Ross had the experience to create the timepiece with massive hands and hour markers slathered in lume that may be easily read (although not look that garish). Used we love to it.

There have been a couple of versions of the "Professional" dial treatment; also it turned up on the couple of different watches. Bell & Ross even offered this dial (in carbon fibre) on a single of the BR02 watches for diving (hands-on here). As you can tell, three-hands (BR01-92) in addition to chronograph models (BR01-94) were available. Even though it is a proper option to the conventional aviator dial that is so classic searching around the BR01 (in addition to a number of other Bell & Ross watches), we believe the Professional dial is much more of the "periodic" look versus something would put on daily such as the aviator dial.

With that said the situation is extremely awesome. Bell & Ross added another square contour around the bezel, only one that's switched in a 45 degree position (obviously with stop corners). The bezel can also be elevated up a little, and never flat like this around the standard BR01. Some trivia, custom truck and vehicle maker ICON 4x4 has some dashboard bezels within their automobiles which were inspired through the situation from the BR01 Professional situation and bezel. The situation obviously is 46mm wide, which for me personally is the best size with this look. Bell & Ross launched the more compact 42m wide BR03 like a more compact form of the BR01, however i don't believe her same visual effect since its bigger siblings.

In titanium this BR01-94 Professional is light; although not ultra light given how big the situation. Possibly in steel it might prove unwieldy with a. I love the sharp angles decline in the bezel too the blown finishing around the surfaces from the situation.  Incidentally, if you do not search the carbon fibre from the dial, there's an identical dial inside a matte grey that does not look bad.

Like a chronograph, the subdials are nicely incorporated for legibility, but it's apparent the situation is a lot bigger compared to movement. I actually do question exactly what the dial might have appeared as if Bell & Ross were built with a bigger diameter movement with dials that may better fit the situation. In my opinion there's a bigger Val granges movement created by ETA, but they're quite rare to determine really. With nevertheless, the BR01-94 Professional Titanium Carbon Fibre features a Swiss ETA 2894 automatic chronograph movement. Don't miss the round date window situated between 4 and 5 o'clock.

Bell & Ross will get lots of warmth from certain enthusiasts yet others love the company. Personally, i find it hard to know how this can be a polarizing brand. Sure they've some polarizing pieces, if this involves reasonable stuff, Bell & Ross is produces a variety of it. Though having a piece such as the BR01-94 Professional I can tell how people can love or hate this watch that appears enjoy it was meant to take individuals who operate mechanized implements of war.

A few of the particulars around the watch I love range from the rectangular chronograph pushers, textured crown, and comparatively thin situation profile. This can be a watch that might have been taller, and fortunately it's not. As I don't believe Bell & Ross is creating the BR01-94 Professional Titanium Carbon Fibre any more, Home theater system. Can continue to look for a couple of in some places. A couple of years after its debut, the piece certainly feel a lot more like a "then" product than the usual "present. Inch There's a rather over-the-top, non conservative quality that does not jive perfectly with present day watch market. Observe how things can alter in a couple of years? Nonetheless, I still find that it is a fun watch.
