The square case of this wristwatch measures 46 mm and its flat square case sits massively on the wrist - not a men's wrist watch for the faint-hearted!This is a striking timepiece, a defining watch, its cockpit instrument inspired dial has highly legible hands and markers and four invisible screw heads.

Having initially collaborated with the Sinn manufacture today Bell & Ross assemble and manufacture their watches at their own facility in La Chaux des Fonds.
