The Bell 7 Ross BR-03 Helipad timepiece has been developed by the brand as a playful accessory that takes on an aviation inspiration to offer wearers a whimsical approach to horological accessories.
The watch features the signature square-off profile that the brand has come to be associated with and holds the BR-CAL.327 automatic movement inside along with a 54-hour power reserve. The accessory takes on a flight instrument inspiration thanks to a helipad-inspired dial that's paired with a series of arms that are connected to a hovering aircraft for a slightly novel appearance.
The Bell 7 Ross BR-03 Helipad timepiece is limited to 500 examples and priced at $4,800, and measures in at 41mm for its micro-blasted black ceramic case that's lightweight yet durable.
