Unobtrusive But Pleasing – Bell & Ross Instrument BR 01-97 Commando Power Reserve Watch

It has been not an easy thing to see much changes or innovations on the look of a Bell & Ross watch, so it seems to me already quite something to see some new special change in things, such as the color of the dials. And this model presented back in the year 2009 came out with a grey dial that kind of surprised me. If you we need some great timepiece to match your Brioni business suit, this Bell & Ross Instrument BR 01-97 Commando Power Reserve automatic watch would truly satisfy you.
Still, the model sports that super signature square-shaped case with oversized hands and huge Arabic numerals as hour markers for 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock. Bell & Ross seldom produces watches that yell aloud, but just understated and discreet models, and this Instrument BR 01-97 Commando also gets an unobtrusive appearance. Nevertheless, the inspiration of the dial came from the instrument gauges of military planes. Doubtlessly the wide use of different technologies has contributed much to the stealth-style look of the timepiece. The stainless steel case is sandblasted and coated with carbon. Yet a high legibility is guaranteed by the hands and markers coated with a generous amount of grey luminescent substance.
The engine working inside this model is the ETA 2896 automatic caliber with some modification in the power reserve part. The mechanism offers a tiny date display at 3 o’clock.
Of course it would be anything but easy to get such a Bell & Ross model, only 500 pieces of them worldwide. But the story won’t be that sad when you turn to bell and ross replica for help. The top grade replica watches have got many Bell & Ross fans get the luxury designs they’ve been desiring.
