I recently reviewed the Bell & Ross 3rd generation of vintage the Garde-Côtes edition, u can read it here
http://www.malaysiawatchforum.com/index.php?topic=18659.0Heart 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.
The new production Bracelet & Buckle!
Always love vintage looking bracelet, but not the quality of it, now u can have both with this!
Side by side with PP nautilus bracelet
Edges are chamfered n polished, no sharp edges through out
The production buckle is very well made finished, much finer than the prototype I reviewed earlier
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
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.
Every Day Watch
Fitted with the proven ETA DD module 2894 chronograph with date, with screw lock chronograph pusher and screwed in crown, rated 100m water resistant & all these fitted in the 41mm comfort size stainless steel case, it's a watch for u to wear from Monday to Sunday, day & night !
