Ladies and Gentlemen, Please follow the link below to read my review on the BR01-92 and BR03-92 models from Bell and Ross. Find out why I think Bell and Ross have created a whole new genre of timepiece with the extraordinary Phantom. http://www.andrewmichaels.co.uk/blog/be ... -a-review/ As always your feedback and comments are gratefully received. |

Furthermore, we have just recieved the gorgeous royal blue all ceramic BR03. This is now my favourite BR03. It combines the legibility of the Auto model with the cool of the Phantom. All in a virtually scratchproof package. It's a shame they couldn't create the crown and screws out of ceramic (too cost prohibitive I would imagine) but they do not look entirely out of place in black PVD. Apologies for the awful pictures. The lighting in the office is not conducive.

I've really started to come around to some B&R models over recent months. Personally I think the BR02 Chrono is their most handsome model, but I've come around a little more to the BR03 recently as well. The BR01 is just way too large IMO : at 46mm it would work just fine if it wasn't square, but it's amazing what a difference the shape makes to the perceived dimensions and wearing characteristics. If B&R ever decide to dip their toe into the in-house movement pond, and also finally start to offer a deployant clasp, I'd certainly be tempted by one of their more restrained pieces. The Airborne and Radar models are truly terrible IMO, but the standard white on black instrument models are very nice looking. (And as always, a very nice review Ricardo.  )

I'm so enamoured by it I am considering the non-chrono version in SS.
