Even though speed has been always the source of inspiration to Bell & Ross watches design, from B-Rocket 2014 to Aero-GT 2016 and those Renault Formula One team....
The unique colour of the belly tanker dial grow on me! It’s actually metallic brown, bit of gold!
I actually tried on and reviewed the V1 together with another 2 variants earlier
http://www.malaysiawatchforum.com/index.php?topic=18998.0After a week wearing this V2-94 Belly Tanker, I’m a little regret with my earlier choice of the Garde-Cotes
http://www.malaysiawatchforum.com/index.php?topic=18659.0
Side by side, your pick ?
Pulsometer or tachymeter?
You may read the history of belly tanker from the official site, I will just focus on the fit & finish of the watch!
I been wearing my Garde-cotes quite often on the bracelet, hence i put on a 3rd party rubber strap on this, it’s no surprise that it’s easy match ! I guess any black or brown leather or rubber will match this well
41mm stainless steel case
It’s well fit on most men wrist!
The case is very well finished
With contrast of brushed and mirror polish!

30 Min chrono at 9
& small second at 3
Brushed hour markers
Only flaw is the date disc color is slightly different from the dial... however, many big brands need no mentioned name, nvr even change their date disc colour at all!
It’s overall looking is versatile
I wear
with long sleeve to work
Play badminton with shorts
Weekend on jeans & t shirt
Size is just right, comfy... you can feel the present on wrist but not too big!
The perfect size
Oversize watches is out of trend soon!
We do seen more smaller size watches in just over sihh
Side by side with the 42mm Br03
After a week on my wrist, it’s continue to glow on me!
Do you agree with me that this is the best looking BR from the vintage series ?
