Watch-makers Bell & Ross seem to have some nice-looking new watches, including this one, which is model BR01-92. Its got a carbon-finish steel case with a cool black and orange dial.
The specs for the watch, available at the above link, describe the BR01-92 as being a “watch with genuine military specifications”. That’s nice to know, but B&R does not state which mil specs are satisfied. One of the more common military specifications for a general purpose wrist watch is MIL-W-46374F, and if we’re reading the spec right, the BR01 seems to fall a bit short…e.g. requirement 3.2.1.1 says that the watch have self-luminous features via the use of tritium on the hands and dial to a max dosage of 25 millicuries. The BR01 does not seem to be radioactive & at 1.81 inches it’s somewhat larger than the max 1.025 inches allowed in the spec. Oh well, perhaps they conform to some other mil specs.
Sweet looking watch nonetheless.

The orange and black is very striking, and the fact that it’s not radioactive is a major plus!
