The vast majority of people think of BELL & ROSS mind first thought or inspiration from the flying instruments, appearance of square BR01 watches. But in fact, for watchmaking, BELL & ROSS there are many other ideas, and are testing a variety of possibilities. Thus, the successor BR02, although able to withstand the same strong (after all, is a diving watch), but the advent of barrel shape, already the first to escape the impression of Founder.
BR02 Instrument Chronograph
BELL & ROSS BR02 Instrument chronograph, in addition to the front four screws, and face plate on the brand logo, the watch almost can not find any shadow BR01. Such a barrel-shaped design, how many disclose they may want to get rid of square shape impression of BR01, in order to create brand more possibilities. However, regardless of the appearance of the first aunt, this BR02 chronograph, he should pay more attention to his practical functional surface.
Sleek frontline
From the front of the line, not difficult to feel the difference between BR02 and 01. Reflects the Army of the 01, the same side of the rigid lines, but 02 is a professional dive table route, although also need a powerful internal. However, in design, 02's line is obviously much smoother than 01's.
Crown safety mechanism (off)
Crown safety mechanism (open)
Because it is to wear sports, so always worry about accidental collision, resulting in watch function accidentally started (timing), or confused the original settings. Therefore, BELL & ROSS press the part of the installation of the fuse. Crown at three o'clock crown shoulder protection with a crown, while the timing press and the ten o'clock position rotating inner crown, there is a screw into the locking mechanism fixed. It needs to be unscrewed to operate the function. Basically a simple design, but very smart protection of the watch safety.
Automatic discharge helium valve
Since it is made for the potential body, the essential mechanism is naturally ranked helium valve. BELL & ROSS installs automatic row helium valve for BR02 Instrument, which can adjust the helium gas in the case to balance the pressure inside and outside the case, and will not damage the watch after the pressure is reduced due to the difference of pressure inside and outside the case.
Bottom cover design neat
Although the transparent bottom cover for mechanical watches, is a degree of benevolent. However, starting from the BR01, BELL & ROSS not to this set, do not give it a look is not to see. However, different from 01, the brand will watch the necessary information (including screw size) clearly, engraved on the surface of the table reasonable. BR01's back is engraved with signs "&" logo. To do so, the main reason is to ensure that the waterproof watch can be loopholes, after all, dive five hundred meters, is indeed very, very deep.
Rotating inner ring design
Diving watches are usually equipped with a rotating bezel, rotating bezel can help set the record of the oxygen stock safe time. General rotating bezel with the outer ring and inner ring differences. For ease of operation (because most divers) wear gloves. Many diving watch assembly rotating outer ring. Can be set directly to the bezel, very convenient. However, this approach also increases the risk of bezel setting and may shift settings due to accidental bumps in the process, providing a user error message. If you have 10 minutes left in your oxygen inventory, move it to the remaining five minutes. If, in turn, the difference of five minutes is enough fatal.
Therefore, although it may be inconvenient in operation, it is for safety's sake. BELL & ROSS is still using a rotating inner ring design. At the same time, rotating the inner crown also installed a safety mechanism, double protection, to avoid possible missing.
Prominent luminous sign
BR01 in a series of watches, you can see the brand is indeed to carry forward the luminous paint. And in this BR02 diving watch, BELL & ROSS nor partial waste, the obvious hour and minute hands and time scale, provide the same excellent visibility at night or unknown.
