Bruno Belamich and Carlos Rosillo founded Bell & Ross in 1992, focusing on aviator and diving watches. Today, its manufacturing is based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The brand's Vintage Collection includes the PW1, WW1, WW2, and Vintage BR models.
The Bell & Ross name is synonymous with military-inspired precision. Accuracy is achieved through mechanical movements and a dial that takes cues from aircraft design. Each thoroughly tested chronograph from Bell & Ross is an essential accessory for explorers, aiding them in their journeys on land, under the sea, or into the stars.
Swiss-made and prized for their accuracy, each timepiece is tested under extreme conditions to ensure reliability. With input from bomb disposal experts and astronauts, Bell & Ross has two principal lines that successfully embody its style: Instrument and Vintage. The former is focused on adventure-ready environments, with shapes and color palettes inspired by the armed forces, while the latter is brimming with Aviation references.
Most Bell & Ross. watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winder boxes. Usually Bell & Ross.'s self-winding movements need to rotate 650 - 800 revolutions per day, and most of them can be wound clockwise. So please take some time and like to choose a cute clockwork that suits you and your watch.

If you could not find your watch model (or caliber) in this table, you may determine your Bell & Ross. winding mode on a trial basis. You should select the combined winding mode (CW+CCW) and the minimal number of turns per day (TPD). Then place your watch into the watch winder and check after a few days how accurate your watch shows the time. If it runs behind, it is necessary to increase the number of TPD by one step.
