Has anyone had time to catch Bell & Ross's latest editions to their
Vintage Collection by chance?

There is the BR V2-93 GMT Blue with it's blue dial, and BR-CAL.303
automatic GMT movement. Followed by the BR V2-92 Military Green
with it's green dial, and BR-CAL.302 automatic, and limited edition
BR V2-94 Aéronavale Bronze. Which has a blue dial, and BR-CAL.301
inside of a bronze case.

Other details include 41mm stainless, or bronze cases, sapphire
crystals, 100m WR, and stainless steel, or canvas straps also.

A few pictures guys...

Thanks Tom, as always, for your 'watch tracking'. I fail to see, and stress that this is my personal opinion, the 'vintage' aspect of these watches, beginning with those dreaded crown protectors which I start disliking more with every passing week :D. And them 'batman' bezels with triangle and lume pip aren't very novel........

To make a long story short, for the money B&R are charging one can buy four Certina DS Action Diver Automatic's! ISO 6425 certified and 200 meters WR.

You got it sir ! My pleasure. :thumb:

Really appreciate your honesty, and telling it the way you see it Frans.
Guess B&R are kind of just looking to give you a somewhat vintage
theme with the vintage collection. But not necessarily a full on classic
vintage feel, or homage style.

Like you are pointing out there are more than a couple aspects that
aren’t actually vintage-like. :) Even the hands are different looking,
as is the 41mm size. Which would kind of be considered big back in
day. ..Oh, and I guess there were’t bronze watches too much years
back either.

Basically these watches seem to pay tribute to vintage watches it
seems, but definitely have a modern way about them. Especially
price wise as you said. :eek: Thanks so much for your 2 cents sir !!
