The Bell & Ross BR 01 Tourbillon Phantom is the first tourbillon watch by the company. It offers a visual complication that fits Bell & Ross philosophy of technical and professional demands. It provides readability, performance, precision and water-resistance with a sporty look.
The uniqueness of this watch is its titanium and carbon fibre desk/table support that allows it to be placed in a static vertical position, and hence the existence of the tourbillon is justified.
The Tourbillon comes in a 46 mm case in titanium with a black PVD finish. It has ribbed corner angles that not only strengthen the casing. In particular is its black carbon fibre dial and colourful complications’ indicators that brings attention to it.
There are four complications in the Bell & Ross BR01 Tourbillon Phantom. It has a tourbillon with carbon fibre bridges; a regulator with hours at 12 and a central minutes hand; a 120-hour power reserve indicator (5 days) between 8 and 10; a trust index between 2 and 4 o’clock.
The trust index is in three sectors, high, middle and low. The middle sector indicates the ideal working of the movement. The lower sector means the watch is running slow and requires winding. Finally the high position means we can wait until the movement comes back to its optimal working rate. The movement is visible through a sapphire crystal caseback which is fixed with four screws.
