Reviewing Bell & Ross Vintage V2-92 Garde-Cotes

Bell & Ross Vintage V2-92 Garde-Cotes receives a new color scheme. The dial is now mid-grey – actually a surprising color, as plain (no sun-ray pattern) and matte, really military-looking – paired with a minute track in bright orange. The hands and indexes remain classically painted in white, to optimize legibility. Note that this watch is available with 2 possible options: rubber strap or steel bracelet. Overall, if the color choice won’t be to everyone’s liking, it keeps track with the military roots of the brand and offer a nice additional option to the classical black-dial version http://www.watchbuyoff.ru.

Elsewhere, we find the same traits for which the model won praise when launched: a smaller diameter of 41mm, a slimmer case, and more curves on the casebands and lugs, which feel like a more compact case once on the wrist.

Bell & Ross Vintage V2-92 Garde-Cotes has clearly gained in comfort and elegance, compared to the older model. The bezel can rotate, and thanks to the 60-minute track, and it enables timing dive sessions (or all kinds of elapsed times). Inside is a robust automatic movement, the calibre BR-CAL.302 (based on a Sellita SW300-1).
