The Third Generation Vintage Bell & Ross Replica Watch Collection

To tell the truth, the Vintage-inspired watches are nothing new for Bell & Ross, which has been way ahead of that trend for years. As a matter of fact, this is the third generation of the Vintage collection, and it’s far and away from the most complicated yet. There are two three-hand models, one sportier than the other, and an awesome twin-register chronograph to round things out, and the entire collection perfectly captures that old-school pilot’s watch aesthetic that never seems to be out of fashion. That these are budget-friendly tickers only adds to the appeal.
Here’s a breakdown of the three different models just introduced at Baselworld 2017, including all the details.
As far as I am concerned, this is the star of the show. The replica Bell & Ross watch is a three-hand-date watch, which is basically the classic pilot’s watch in an easy-to-wear execution. The steel case is 38.5mm (which is rather similar to the perfect size for nearly any watch) and has mostly brushed finishes, giving it a more low-key look. It’s also slim, with a domed crystal that finished the package.  
The sleek matte black dial has baton indexes and large-but-slim numerals at the poles. The sword hands are a more refined take on the typical pilot hands too, and the date down at 4:30 is nearly invisible except when you’re looking for it (a very good thing). Underneath the dial sits the automatic movement, the brands take on the Sellita SW300-1. It has a 38-hour power reserve and is a great workhorse movement for a watch like this.
Stepping things up one level, we have another good model. This is still a three-hand-and-date pilot’s watch, but with a much tougher look and build. The 41mm case is beefier than that one, but when compared to previous Vintage replica watches you’ll notice it actually has curvier lugs to help it wear better. For the first time, you’ll also notice the addition of crown guards too.
The biggest and most obvious difference though is the 60-minute rotating timing bezel that makes this kind of a hybrid pilot/dive watch. The screw-down crown helps this model achieve 100-meter water resistance, so you surely could take it for a serious swim. Inside is the same movement found in the fake watches above.
