Bell & Ross

For a watch that can withstand life's challenges, consider one by Bell & Ross – which carries out extensive tests on all its timepieces. The French brand considers extreme temperatures, fast accelerations and high pressures when building its jewellery to make it suitable for pilots, divers and bomb technicians. However you plan to spend the day, you can be sure that a Bell & Ross watch will serve you well.

The designer's utilitarian sensibilities are evident in the chunky profiles and signature square cases you'll notice among these Bell & Ross accessories. Across the board, numbers and baton markers pop out in contrasting shades against the faces, which also often feature functional date windows and handy sub-dials. You'll find durable materials throughout, from rubber and leather for the straps to ceramic and stainless steel for the casing. And the exceptional shine? It's all thanks to highly polished sapphire-crystal glass. 

Pick a piece with an exposed mechanism beneath the dial to revel in Bell & Ross's masterful engineering whenever you check the time. For versatile wear, we've got options that come with several straps; just change yours over to suit your next adventure. Expecting to get wet? It's all in a day's work for these watches, which offer water resistance for carefree wear.
