Bell & Ross is typically associated with big and bold timepieces, backed up by military credentials and technical expertise. And while it offers a select collection for the slimmer of wrist, it is not an obvious first port of call for women. However, this could be set to change with a new release that has the brand reaching for the stars – a chic, feminine and eminently wearable watch that remains true to the distinctive Bell & Ross look.
Principally makers of pilots' instruments, the watchmaker is no stranger to the skies and on this occasion is celebrating nature's pivotal role in the history of aviation, where stars were essential to voyagers finding their bearings on long journeys. The BR S Diamond Eagle takes it name and inspiration from the pattern that elegantly stretches across its dial, the Aquila constellation, which translates from Latin as "eagle". Here, the points are marked with something just as precious – seven delicate diamonds, which sparkle against a backdrop of deep midnight blue.
