Introduced in 2005, BR01 is a high-calibre line from the performance-driven brand Bell & Ross. Merging the worlds of watchmaking and aviation, this collection advances decidedly avant-garde, professional timepieces. In fact, this BR01-94 Heritage, inspired by the aeroplane cockpits, is so precisely made that it could easily pass off as an actual cockpit dashboard clock.

Measuring 46mm in diameter, the black PVD-coated stainless steel case features the aesthetic characteristics of the BR line beloved by so many — the square shape, exposed screws, and the impressive juxtaposition of a round dial. The dial is straightforward, pivoting on legibility — a requisite for pilot watches. It carries luminous slim indexes, quarterly-placed Arabic numerals, well-shaped hands, and tonal screws. That’s it. Apart from the brand logo and collection hallmark, no additional adornment graces this instrument-style watch.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
