By creating the vintage ww2 regulateur heritage (wrist watch), Bell & Ross pays tribute to the timekeeping instruments used by bomber navigators in the 1930s and 1940s.

The modern version of this functinal and historical model possesses the ergonomics and immediate legibility of a navigator’s watch.
