Most watches from this manufacturer resemble the dashboard of a combat vehicle - a simple round dial on a simple square base. Such watches are devoid of decorations (for the most part). One of the important features is the convenience of reading information in almost any conditions. Although, more “household” lines have recently appeared, featuring a classic design. The names of the collections correspond to their purpose: B.R. Instrument (the most popular and extensive), Professional, Classic, Vintage. "Peru" company owns and model hydromax, which set a record for the maximum diving depth for a wristwatch - according to the creators, this watch will remain unscathed at the very bottom of the Mariana Trench, at a depth of almost 11,000 meters (pressure of 1,100 atmospheres). Here, however, there is one caveat - the quartz movement will stop working already at 5000 meters, but the case itself will indeed withstand the indicated pressure. This was achieved by filling the watch with special silicone oil, which does not interfere with the normal operation of the watch and which is almost impossible to compress. It is because of the presence of this oil in hydromax uses a quartz movement.
Company Bell & Ross была основана в 1992 году. Основали ее давние друзья — дизайнер Бруно Беламишем (Bruno Belamich) и бизнесмен Карлос Росильо (Carlos A. Rosillo). Фамилии французов и послужили основой для названия новой марки. Созданная ими модель часов, в силу своей специфики, сразу же заинтересовала NATO and special services, which determined the further fate of the company. Important was the contract concluded in 1997 with Chanel, which acquired a large stake in the company, which allowed it to enter the mass market.
Watch cost Bell & Ross ranges from high to very high. Particularly expensive are models made in a small edition of several hundred pieces.
The company's headquarters is located in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland (La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland).
