Introducing the new "BR V2 Guard Coat" from the Vintage series, celebrating its 20th anniversary | Bell & Ross
Bell & Ross
For maritime rescue teams working in harsh environments
Two types: for helicopter pilots and for divers
Inheriting the round case from the Vintage series, it has evolved into a sportier and more refined form. Two automatic models will be released: a three-hand type with a date display, and a chronograph with two counters and a date display.

A vibrant collection using gray, orange, and white
Bell & Ross has developed two new models that meet the conditions required by professionals.
The matte gray dial is reminiscent of the body of a rescue helicopter, but it is also a color used in camouflage for military ships.
The orange of the dial and seconds hand pursues high visibility. This color combination is also the uniform color of divers on duty, and has the advantage of being instantly recognizable from a distance during rescue operations.
The indices and hour and minute hands are coated with white luminous paint, ensuring optimal visibility even in the dark. The case back is a see-through sapphire crystal, revealing the mechanism that forms its heart. The glass is engraved with a buoy and anchor, symbols of maritime rescue teams.
The three-hand model features a modern design with a central seconds hand, and the large Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9, iconic to the brand, are extremely legible. The bidirectional rotating bezel with a 60-minute scale can be used to mark a temporary reference point, allowing for more precise time measurement required for missions. The crown guard enhances water resistance and prevents accidental unlocking.

The chronograph model, like the three-hand type, is equipped with a crown guard. Additionally, the chronograph push-buttons are screw-down, ensuring water resistance and safety. The fixed bezel, engraved with a pulse meter, can be used in conjunction with the chronograph function to measure heart rate. This offers invaluable practical functionality for lifeguards providing emergency care.
