Reigning in the Water World
Way back, makers had to protect their watches from magnetic fields. Later, when wristwatches took over the world of sports, they also had to be shielded from other things. These were how watch features were developed gradually. When divers started taking wristwatches underwater, the pieces just had to become water-resistant. Bell & Ross’ Marine Collection watches do not only resist, but thrive underwater. These marine watches are especially designed and crafted to perform in top-notch condition even at 1,000 meters under the surface of the water. The satin-brushed steel case is held secure by black rubber straps, and contains screw-in crowns and decompression valve. The numerals, index and hands displayed on the dial are also covered with photo-luminescent coating for easy reading in the dark recesses of the sea. These are the perfect gadgets to buy for professional diving and other water-related extreme sport.The Ultimate Tribute to the Adventures of Aviation

The two men who started the Bell & Ross watch company were a tandem of a French-Swiss designer Bruno Belamich and a visionary businessman named Carlos Rosillo. No, they are not exactly Mr. Bell and Mr. Ross, but you can easily guess where the brand's label came from. Launched by its founders in 1992, the Bell & Ross watches first sported cockpit-inspired dials, and ran on special movements produced by an external manufacturer established by German pilot and flight instructor Helmut Sinn. Needless to say, aviation is an occupation that is close to the company's heart. Its famous vintage collection of classic steel watches glorifies the era of early bi-planes and man's first attempts to conquer the skies. The more contemporary Aviation Collection picks up where the more classic pieces left off. Aviation heavy duty watches come in sleek satin-brushed steel case and rubber straps. The square cockpit design remains the distinctive signature of the brand. Whether you are a professional pilot or a flying aficionado still dreaming of childhood aeroplanes, here's a watch that will surely impress you. Bell & Ross vintage and aviation watches are available at Shreve & Co. at Post Street, San Francisco.No-nonsense Air Worthiness

Today, Ball and Ross watches are used by austronauts, pilots, divers and bomb-disposal experts as part of their official gear. Until now, the watchmaker studies real-life circumstances and challenges with the men who fly and operate in official missions in order to come up with the best timepieces to ally them in their maneuvers in the air. A big team of skilled designers, engineers and watchmakers come together at Bell and Ross to create highly functional watches whose essentials are never compromised by the superfluous. This commitment to functionality endears the brand to aviation and other demanding fields of expertise. The most utilitarian watches from Bell and Ross are available at Shreve & Co.

Armed with aircraft grade visual indicators, highly précised Swiss movements, and optimal water resistance, Bell & Ross watches have been in demand since launched in 1992. Bell & Ross prides itself with the special functions for specific tasks. The BR Instrument was made to mimic the shape of a cockpit instrument of an aircraft. BR02’s cater to diving professionals. It is 1000 meters submersible and is fitted with clear dials for safety. One special feature that stands out is Hydromax—contains hydraulic fluids to offset effects of outside pressures. There are three collections available; the Vintage, Aviation, and the Marine. The name gives out the concept of these collections as Vintage watches are odes to military watches back in World War I & II, Aviation watches are for pilots and can withstand high altitude, and the Marine collection are for profession divers and seafarers. This variety of designs gives anyone a chance to find a watch that speaks to them and can represent them well to the world.

Bell & Ross is flying high as it is diving deep. Inspired by an aircraft’s cockpit instrument and relied upon by divers for its pressure-resistant feature, Bell & Ross evolved into a timepiece for seriously solid watches that can stand environment pressure in aviation, military and marine uses. Bell & Ross was first issued in 1992. It would soon enjoy solid admirers among divers for its ability to withstand 1,000 meters of dive pressure, with special models like the Hydromax that “swims” in special fluid to counter the external pressure. Essentially, Bell & Ross follows four principles in quality watchmaking that ensure its myriad collections of timepieces live up to the name. First, the brand may be French, but it has Swiss precision technology at the core. Each part is engineered to work in sync with the rest in the most adverse environment. Second, it can handle water pressure at great depths. Third, the controls and features are designed for optimum visual even in difficult situations, such as when deep-diving or at high altitudes. Fourth, each Bell & Ross enjoys specific features for users with specific needs as pilots and divers have different timekeeping uses, and not the least, persons who demand their watch to work hard with them in extraordinary or everyday situations.
