Bell & Ross BR 03 Red Radar Ceramic
Taking another inspiration from aviation, Bell & Ross introduces a piece of red crystal on the dial to mimic the radar display of a fighter plane. As if this is not novel enough, the watchmaker has designed a unique time-reading mechanism comprising two rotating dials, specially designed to be as lightweight as possible to preserve power.
The outer disc indicates the hour with a passenger plane as the marker, while the innermost disc displays the minutes with the help of a smaller fighter jet. For such a strikingly modern watch, somehow it's comforting to know that the seconds are indicated by a traditional analog hand.
