To the great interest of top watch-making enthusiasts and collectors, Bell & Ross
have designed a model in a classical style evocative of the origins of the professional
watch, as suggested by the name. Military personnel, pilots in particular,
were the first professionals users to regard wrist watches as a tool on their missions.
This tribute to the past has given rise to the creation of a model that is
classic in style and modern in its elaboration: the Vintage 123 automatic watch.
