The New Bell & Ross BR V3-94 Black Steel

Post by andy tims » Thu Apr 16, 2020 9:22 am

Bell & Ross seem to be upping their game of late.

I like the look of this new Chronograph

Not normally a fan of date windows @ 4:30, but this one looks fine to me, if a bit small.

Very nice. I agree that the date treatment works okay on this.

One thing that I don't get is why they put a 12 on there, when none of the other numerals will fit. :shrug:

Beautiful looking watch Andy, and definitely looks like B&R are
changing things up, and upping their game like you said. :)

There is just something about these honestly. Not sure what it
is, but they just seem really well thought out, and like maybe
they listened to fans in recent years on what they wanted. :thumbsup:
The whole look bridges the past to the present imho. It's great !

Thank you very very much for the news !

I really like this one and I am not a chrono guy. At 43mm it seems much better proportioned than the V2 version at 41mm

I tried some of their recent models on in Chicago recently and was very impressed. .

That fake bracelet link on the strap models is terrible. It’s only there to disguise an enormous gap, I presume.

I am not sure. It seems that the strap still goes into the lugs quite a bit. Weird for certain.

I wish they'd go back to the smaller arabic numerals of the original versions on these

I love it on bracelet but don’t like the fake end link on strap. So it’s have to be a bracelet only watch which could work for me but definitely a drawback

Agree but 43mm? I’m getting tool old for anything over 42 except ABC watches, U series Sinns or Panarai subs :cheers:

This one is pretty hot though

The case give off the blocky modern Rolex vibe, and Rolex fans seem to love those fake endlinks on straps.

That looks like Tudor Ranger strap

I think like v2 better although the strap gap was horrible on V2.

Well done B&R :thumbsup:
I like the beveled round date window. Keeps the design consistent.
