Bell & Ross BR02 Chrono Acier


There are times when using words to describe great engineering is sort of like using interpretive dance to explain astrophysics. It just doesn’t work. Nowhere is this more true than in the world of Bell and Ross watches. No matter how artful the prose, it is difficult to codify the greatness of The Bell and Ross BR02 Chrono Acier.

Let’s start beneath the surface. The BR02 Chrono is designed for extremes. With a pioneering decompression valve that regulates pressure inside the watch case, the BR02 is guaranteed to be water resistant up to 1,000 meters. This is one reason it is such a maritime workhorse, favored by divers and seafaring gentleman of all stripes.

But rest assured aesthetic value was also a part of the equation when the designers at Bell and Ross conceived the BR02 Chrono. And it just so happens that its functionality fuels its visual appeal. The BR02’s photoluminescent hands and bezel index not only make it one of the most easily readable timepieces on the market, they also render it one of the most eye-catching watches of the season. Throw in a satin-polished steel case which contrasts perfectly with BR02’s orange accents and you have another instant classic by Bell and Ross. So we can only ask: Is your swagger sharp enough to match the BR02’s timeless engineering? That is, of course, a rhetorical question. And as you can tell from one glance at the BR02, rhetoric always has its limits.
