French civil defense bomb squad specialists chose to partner with Bell
& Ross. Upon request from the French Civil Defense and according to
operational specifications, Bell & Ross elaborated the Demineur Type.
With an anti and non-magnetic watchcase, this watch meets the
requirements of bomb disposal operations thanks to its qualities of
readability, reliability and precision.
The original Demineur was made by Sinn model after Sinn 810 with a
coin edge unidirectional bezel but this one here is the later model
produced by BR which marked an important milestone for BR.
This model was subsequently discontinued in 2005, Type Demineur never
made in into the mainstream mainly due to its 38mm size which shadowed
by the big case frenzy in the early 2000. Nevertheless it remain as a
legend to the tool watch enthusiasts, imagine we have tonnes of
watches for aviators, divers and racers but purpose built wrist watch
for bomb disposal professional is probably a handful if not the only
one.
