Reverently tipping its hat to the iconic 1960s American spy plane, Bell & Ross honours Lockheed SR-71 'Blackbird' with this tastefully-designed limited edition Vintage Blackbird Chronograph. Evoking the stealthy and bold character of the aircraft, this watch stands out with its daring 43mm stainless steel case featuring a matte black PVD finish. The round case with well-crafted lugs is complemented by a black canvas strap that settles comfortably on the wrist. In a similar vein, the dial is rendered in a stark black hue, with a splash of high contrast orange on the chronograph hands added for good measure. There are running seconds, 12-hour, and 24-hour sub-registers placed in a horizontal configuration, whereas the date window is tucked between four and five o’clock. Even with the tachymeter scale on the outer ring, the dial boasts high legibility and a clean, refined look.

The movement inside is a manual-winding calibre with flyback chronograph functionality facilitating accurate time recording. With 100 metres of water resistance, this Bell & Ross Vintage Blackbird Chronograph is a highly functional timepiece with an impressive personality that commands attention.

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.
