Heart is pushing myself to acquire the V2-94 Garde-Cotês chronograph, before I get one impulsively, I'm giving myself a second thought on all the V2-94!

Thanks to BR, I hv this opportunity to try on the more elegant Aéronavale edition, inspired by the French naval Air Force officer ! It's instantly upgraded to this 3rd generation of vintage this year.
First impression!
Watch is about design... the first moment you have it on your hand!

It's beautiful ! I mean it, its a absolutely beautiful!
I'm sure many peoples will like the matching navy blue calfskin leather strap, but my heart is set on the bracelet, having tried on the Garde-cotês proto bracelet.

Edges are chamfered n polished, no sharp edges through out
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170819/0db002b4ac8584fcb10ac57f1a875ff8.jpg)
The production buckle is very well made finished, much finer than the prototype I reviewed earlier
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170819/22d9156ecf1d2e42fffc4ccc1e5ea8cc.jpg)
The added BR logo and center polished, aesthetically it brings up the entire bracelet, some might think it's a scratch magnet.

The fixed Bezel
From Bell & Ross, the design theme is always strong and throughout, it's a navy blue & gold 60min scale bezel that match the dial and markers
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170819/72b6504b9a4155c3a3330b0fa5646f24.jpg)
Attention to Details
Need no mention brand name, I hv seen watch with different color limited edition dial but the date disc remain unchanged with the normal version. I'm glad BR paying attention to all the details in their design.

Unfortunately, the fixed bezel is of little or no use here. A rotatable bezel with simple 1 to 12 marking will immediately make it a GMT

They absolutely do not share the same movement.
The B&R uses the BR-CAL.301 which is a base ETA 2894-2 (chronograph module). The Tudor Chrono uses the MT5813 made by Breitling (modified B01). As part of the technology exchange, Tudor MT5613 will be provided and modified by Breitling and called the B20.

BR made good designs but only if it has its in house movement instead of ETA movement, would be a fine watch for collection. IMHO

In this case it is closer but still different ;-)
The Heritage Chrono uses an ETA 2892 + DD 2054 chronograph module.

On a side note, I am surprised to fancy the look of this particular B&R model as it is a brand that in general I do not get.

Bro, Tudor this year only announce and only hv one model use breitling b01 as base movement.
Others heritage Chrono, black/grey/blue all using 2894 as base movement
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry but I don't get the meaning of this. I thought you were first talking about the Black Bay Chrono but you were maybe referring to the Heritage Chrono. Either way both use a different movement from the B&R presented in this thread.

Many in house movement failed
Even the B01 of breitling
Pam hv so many in house
So as JLC
I prefer something easier for maintenance and less issue for an everyday watch

And I confirm that the Heritage Chrono whatever color you might want do not use a 2894. They use 2892 with Dubois Depraz chrono module.

You don't need the naval officer suit to wear it
It's all good on your blue jeans! Trust me!
My polo tee as well

I might be alone in this but what bugs me with the two B&R images showing supposedly French marine officers wearing the watch, is that it insinuates that the French Marine Nationale endorses the brand and this watch in particular. Which is clearly not the case as it is said that it is an homage. Pure "BS" marketing again.

Please have a look at their website: https://www.bellross.com/info?path=7
Their French military partners are one section of the military police (GIGN), some pilots among the naval air force and one military school (at the request of the students!).
Raid, Démineurs de la Sécurité Civile and Dassault (aircraft manufacturer) do not belong to the army.
I just find they play too much with the military connection with no support for that.
I am French and have more connection to the army than B&R!

I've always been a huge B&R fan. Since the first day I've started watch collection till today. I've always been a BR01 fellow before the I came to accept the 03. Have always loved the square cases, never really fancies round cases. But this piece has really changed my mind. Drop dead gorgeous in terms of the dial and case construction. Although I do not really fancy the bracelet (though I was never a fan of most bracelets except AP's royal oak's). Still damn beauty.

Agreed. It's tasteful, it's classy (as far as B&R goes!) and it is really very well thought-out.

I too love the old Hanhart red pusher
Unfortunately can’t find good condition and reasonable price one
Modern one got to be this damasko
