The BR-X1 WHITE HAWK

From Bell & Ross -

This is one of a pair of pretty fantastic new pieces from that continue to push Bell & Ross back into the light.  

When it comes to Bell & Ross I have always found myself firmly in the "Vintage" camp.  Having said that, the BR-X1 WHITE HAWK is a pretty exciting take on the "cockpit" or "instrument panel" half of the Bell & Ross family.  This is a watch with function, and form. And for form is pleasingly edgy!

Hours, minutes, seconds, date - and chronograph.  

And yes, I want this watch - and I suspect that many others will as well.  Alas, there will be but 250 of them, so move sharpish!
