Renowned for their instruments that originate from the cockpit and land straight on the wrist, Bell and Ross sure didn’t disappoint at Baselworld 2019. They have taken inspiration from all sides of the industry with new timepieces commemorating flight jackets, drop tanks and dashboard counters. As expected, we have an exquisite choice of new Bell and Ross limited editions to choose from including the highly anticipated Bell and Ross RS19 watch and a new BR X-1 Phantom watch.
Many of the Bell and Ross Baselworld 2019 watch releases are ready to order now and some are expected to be released in the coming months. You can find all the information and specs you need about the new Bell & Ross watch releases below.
Bell & Ross BR 03 92 Diver Green Bronze Limited Edition Watch (BR0392-D-G-BR/SCA)
Not a pilots watch but a brand new divers watch from Bell and Ross made an entrance at Baselworld 2019. The Bell and Ross BR 03 92 Diver Limited Edition is crafted from exquisite bronze, a material highly suited for diving thanks to its strong properties. Bronze watches have been incredibly popular this year, mainly due to the fact that it is a material that oxidizes when exposed to pH levels in perspiration and moisture in the air. This means there will be 999 limited edition pieces of this Bell & Ross BR 03 92 Diver Green Bronze watch bespoke to their own owners.
Just like every Bell and Ross divers watch, the BR 03 92 is designed to be legible, functional, accurate, robust and reliable. It is equipped with a unidirectional rotating bezel crafted from bronze and decorated in a 60 minute scale, a striking green dial that looks breathtakingly beautiful beside the warm tones of the bronze and scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass. To power the timepiece, the BR-CAL.302 automatic calibre is hidden within to equip the hour, minute, seconds and date function and provide a power reserve of 38 hours.

- Case Size: 42mm
- Case Material: Bronze
- Movement: BR-CAL.302 Automatic
- Functions: Hour, minute, seconds, date

Since 2016, Bell and Ross have been the official watch partner of the Renault Sport Formula One team and every year they have released their own range of limited edition watches to celebrate their partnership. We were incredibly excited when it was announced at Baselworld 2019 that the collection would be returning with four new Bell and Ross RS 19 limited edition watches.
The four new chronographs range in both price and design, providing something to suit everyone. The BR-X1 Tourbillon Chronograph R.S.19 is going to be highly coveted for its exceptional tourbillon movement and exquisite skeletonised dial. For those sticking to a smaller budget, the BR V2 94 R.S.19 boasts colourful Renault Sport inspired accents, a classic round case, a carbon fibre dial and exceptional chronograph function. It is worth keeping an eye out on individual reviews on each of these models on Horologii in the future.

Bell & Ross BR 03 92 MA-1 Limited Edition Watch (BR0392-KAO-CE/SCA)
The very first of its kind, the new Bell & Ross BR 03 92 MA-1 Limited Edition watch pays tribute to the US Air Force’s legendary MA-1 bomber jacket of the 1950’s. The MA-1 was originally developed at the emergence of the Jet Age, at a time when pilots required a uniform that not only assisted in performance but ensured safety and comfort. The striking orange and khaki green aesthetic of this Bell and Ross MA-1 Limited Edition watch matches the same colours found on the original legendary jackets.
Just like the jacket, the strap of the Bell & Ross BR 03 92 MA-1 Limited Edition watch is reversible meaning you can wear it with the dark side or the bright orange side showing. Coming in the form of a dark khaki coloured ceramic case which is designed to be highly scratch resistant and lightweight on the wrist, the timepiece also boasts a matching khaki coloured dial which makes for the perfect backdrop against the bright orange numerals. This brand new design was one of our favourite Bell and Ross 2019 Baselworld watch releases.
Specifications:
- Case Size: 42mm
- Case Material: Ceramic
- Movement: BR-CAL.302 Automatic
- Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, date
- Power Reserve: 38 hours
- Glass: Sapphire crystal
- RRP: £2,990

Bell & Ross BR-X1 Phantom Limited Edition Watch (BRX1-PHANTOM/SRB)
Bell and Ross have undoubtedly some of the greatest skeletonised watches on the market and the new Bell & Ross BR-X1 Phantom Limited Edition watch proves once again that they are kings of intricate design. Dressed in black from head to toe, this stunning piece looks just as menacing as its name suggests. It comes crafted from black PVD coated titanium and matte black ceramic making it incredibly lightweight and highly scratch resistant.
The skeletonised dial is a window into the BR-CAL.313 automatic mechanical movement which provides hour, minute and small seconds, a skeletonised date window at 3 o clock, chronograph 30 minute counter, central chronograph seconds and a power reserve of 42 hours.
