Known for their practical design and amazing endurance, Bell & Ross have garnered a loyal following over the last 25 years for their aeronautical and maritime use watches. The latest Desert Series is no exception to the impressive line-up the brand has under its belt, with a design intended for use by professional military pilots working in desert countries and a tasteful desert beige and black color palette. The watch features an analog dial with super legible typography across the face, and optional leather or fabric bands. The new release currently retails for $2900 USD for the women’s 39mm quartz movement model to $6000 USD for the 42mm chronograph men’s version. Check out more about it here.
