New Instrument!

When do you call a watch an instrument? When the watch is a Bell & Ross BR01-92 Instrument. There a few watches specifically designed for the purpose of work namely diving and pilot watches! Some of the very well known makes have been producing these watches and they play an integral & specialized role to the wearer. From the image above( sorry for the poor quality,taken from my SE phone) it looks similar to the many instruments inside my cockpit, it is as if I just took it out from my cockpit panel and strap it to my wrist. This is 46mm in diameter,Panerais,IWC are 44mm, so it seems big is in! It's fashionable and professional watches are never cheap. If your work depends on it you'll understand, nevertheless BR01 instruments are selling like hot-cakes and only a fraction of the owners are  professional pilots.  You are buying into a lifestlye and only discerning
 collectors knows what you are wearing. I love mine!
