Bell & Ross: the talisman watch

With a special edition of 500 numbered pieces, Bell & Ross enriches the range of the BR-01 Skull. The outline of the skull in the centre of the dial of the BR-01 Burning Skull is in relief and creates a very realistic three-dimensional effect. But the real hallmark of the watch is the fully 'tattooed' steel case. Bell & Ross craftsmen have created a network of engraved and lacquered decorations that wraps around all sides of the timepiece, including the case back. The black lacquered flames and symbols (an hourglass, a rose, a heart and a scythe) are explicitly reminiscent of a tattoo. The Burning Skull is a tribute to those military units that have a skull in their coat of arms as a good luck charm to exorcise death. Above all, air squadrons from all over the world, but also paratroopers, raiders and, in general, all those soldiers who have fought on the front line defying and, at times, beating death. Automatic movement, BR-CAL.302 calibre. Price: 6,900 euros.
