Bell & Ross, one of the leading names of independent brands, takes its place as a stylish alternative among Bi-Compax chronographs with the BR V2-94 Military Beige model, which offers both vintage and military design elements together.
The chronograph feature is one of the most preferred complications in today's luxury watchmaking. In addition to being usable, chronographs, which attract great attention with the sporty character they add to watches, are included in the current product group of almost every watch brand.
There are many types of chronograph watches, but when it comes to vintage-themed models, the most suitable chronograph type for the concept is Bi-Compax, i.e. the type with two chronograph counters.
The Bell & Ross BR V2-94 Military Beige is also a vintage-inspired chronograph model. Let's look at the details that make it a successful one.
The stylish model comes in a stainless steel case measuring 41mm in diameter. The case, which is in-line with the military spirit with its matte surface form, is equipped with a curved sapphire crystal and a black aluminum insert bezel in perfect harmony with the vintage theme. As expected from a sports-chronograph model, the case, accompanied by a screw-down crown and screw-down chronograph pushers, can withstand water pressure up to 100 meters.
The model has a stylish beige tone close to the sand color for its dial. The dial, accompanied by matte black numeral indices and beige Super-LumiNOVA filled hour and minute hands, offers optimal legibility in almost any environment. The sporty appearance of the dial, which is reinforced with red accents, has a date window at 4 o’clock, prepared in harmony with the dial.
Bell & Ross BR V2-94 Military Beige beats with the BR-CAL.301 movement. ETA 2894-2 based automatic chronograph movement beats at a frequency of 4Hz (28.800vph) and offers 42 hours of power reserve when fully wound. The caliber, which hosts hour, minute, small seconds, and date functions in addition to the chronograph, can be enjoyed from the sapphire crystal case back.
The version we have here for the review, Ref: BRV294-BEI-ST / SST, comes with a stainless steel bracelet accompanied by a B&R signed folding clasp. The collection also includes a NATO strap version of the same model, Ref: BRV294-BEI-ST/SF.
