In order to pay tribute to the paratrooper spirit in 1944 and the brave soldiers who often faced death threats, Bell & Ross broke through the traditional watchmaking technology and incorporated the skeleton decorations commonly seen on military equipment as amulets or resistance signs into the watch design. In 2009 Launched the first Replica Bell & Ross BR 01 1:1 Top Quality Burning Skull Black Dial watch with a skeleton as the core element.
This new Replica Bell & Ross watch contains an amazing uniqueness. During the winding process, the skull’s mandible will move. In order to create this effect, the brand has specially developed the BR-CAL.206 movement: it is completely self-made by BELL & ROSS, and it also uses a skull shape-so the movement fits perfectly with the case. The 4 bridges are used as an extension of the 4 bones to ensure that the main splint is tightly fixed to the case and gathered into one body, floating in the center of the watch.
This bold and creative watch is made of micro-sprayed stainless steel. The 46mm case is decorated with the Paris stud pattern. This grid pattern requires special processing. The combination of the skull face plate and its grid patterned case makes the whole watch more distinctive. The skull shape on the dial is a key feature of the watch. It is made with a metal inlay process, showing a relief effect; this process is usually used to forge coins or medals. The hollow processing method creates the illusion of a skeleton floating in the center of the case without weight, like an unexpected icing on the cake. The shape of the sword-shaped hands is similar to that of the early Skull models, but the hands of this model are hollowed out and coated with SuperLuminova.
