Bell & Ross BR 126 Carbon Orange chronograph

Post by Jeep99dad » Thu Oct 01, 2015 7:11 pm

I was browsing B&R's chronos as I've been quite fond of them since the B&R event I attended months ago where I got to fondle several of these beauties :) I also have enjoyed my 123 GMT quite a bit. Anyways I stumbled upon this model, which I'd never seen before and love it.
So I thought I'd share the pic.
Anyone here owns it or has seen it in the metal?

My favorite B&R. I think they only made a few hundred.

It looks nice, never seen it.

My favorite B&R is the 123 Blackbird- they don't come up for sale much either

I like it. The orange is a nice offset, has a bit of a sporty feel but still a classic chrono.

I think it was from 2 years ago, or possibly last year. Very limited run.

I just remember that Nato and orange accents from the event, maybe different model.
Also according to B&R rep, they're working on a Ceramic Version of a black chrono, since they're owned by Chanel they know plenty about Ceramics. He also claimed they're the only ones that source Swiss made ceramics and most of them are chinese and some are from Holland, for what it's worth. So I'm excited to see that, and the price is supposedly going to be in the 3K range, which is fair compared to other swiss made ceramic watches.

The price for this model was ridiculous, if I remember correctly. I think it was around $6k.

it must have been a different model then. I just noticed it cause it was the only watch on nato with orange lines and it's the same tubular webbing like Omega's nato, , love it :)

I'm wrong. MSRP is $4,800.

Every once in a while B&R pops out a very good one. It seems they have two design teams. Or one schizophrenic one.

Still, lot of coin for that watch.

Definitely, but a little more palatable than what I originally thought.

I am going to email Eric at B&R to inquire about the new ceramic model.
I'll also ask him about this one. Maybe he has one.

He had that orange strap on a different watch and was trying it in for a customer while we were there. I may grab one for my GMT. Great for summer.

Haven't seen this one either Brice, but am sure glad to have now. :salute:

Really fantastic looking watch sir. Totally modern, but you can see the history
within the whole design also. ..Pretty awesome Brice ! Could definitely see this
in your collection. :o
