Bell & Ross Instrument BRS Gold Watches

During the summer of 2008, Bell & Ross unveiled their BRS Ceramic watches, which are distinguished by simple time displays and cases in black or white ceramic.  Now, the BRS watch group has been expanded to include several models in 18K gold.

The Bell & Ross BRS Gold watches will be available in both rose and grey gold, with several dial colors offered; among these choices are galvanic black or pearl white for the rose gold model, and ivory for the grey gold watch.  The satin-finished case shares the design elements of other BR Instrument models, and measures 39 X 39mm.  Crystals are in sapphire, and water resistance is rated for 50 meters.

While Bell & Ross chose battery-powered quartz movements to animate the BRS Ceramic models, the BRS Gold timepieces will all feature a manual-winding ETA-Peseux 7001 caliber.  Equipped with 17-jewels, this proven mechanical movement has a balance frequency of 21,600 beats per hour, and a power reserve of approximately 42 hours.  Each Bell & Ross BRS Gold watch is fitted with an alligator leather strap and an 18K gold tang buckle.  Suggested retail pricing has been set at $10,900 and $11,900 for the rose and grey gold versions, respectively.
