Bell & Ross reinterprets that glorious watchmaking past with his exceptional new Vintage WW2 Military Tourbillon watch., that brings together four complexities in a titanium case of 45 mm equipped with a protective cap.
Designed to set the time for the early happy years of the fledgling twentieth century, the watches had to change their appearance to face the First World War. When the new weapons appeared on the battlefields, such as fighter jets and armored cars, watchmaking instruments had to adapt to this technological revolution. De este modo, the funcionality, the reliability, precision and durability became the essential parameters. To protect the fragile crystal that covers the dial, some watches were fitted with real metal bars.
Gracias a the option of having the lid open or closed, the WW2 Military Tourbillon has two faces. And although it evokes a noble military past in which danger threatened both the watch and the wearer, now its design with a protective cover is at the service of the pleasure of the eye and the emotions aroused by fine watchmaking.
During World War I, the fragile mineral glass of watches was at the greatest risk during air and ground combat. The metal bars protected the spheres, but made it difficult to see and read the signs. Today the crystals are sapphire, so they are very solid and do not need protections. Por ello, besides being evocative of the past, the cover of the WW2 Military Tourbillon becomes an integral part of the watch, reinforcing the readability of the dial thanks to its curved shapes that enhance the indications. The openings drawn in the metal reveal all the time information and its intricacies, allowing the user's gaze to focus on the essential. This protector opens with a hinge that reveals the entire dial and allows you to admire its classic elegance.; the watch remains functional even closed, thanks to discreet minute graduations.
