At Baselworld 2008, Bell & Ross revealed a new multifunction BR Instrument watch created especially with the French Air Force in mind. At the behest of the Chief of Staff of the French Air Force, the Swiss luxury watch brand has introduced two limited editions of its BR 03 Type Aviation model, one in stainless steel, and the other in carbon blackened steel. The edition will consist of 250 pieces for each model. Bell & Ross presented the first example of the Instrument BR 03 Type Aviation watch to the French Air Force Chief of Staff during a special ceremony. On hand for the occasion was Bell & Ross cofounder Bruno Belamich, Robert Passariello, Marketing and Communication Director for Bell & Ross, Carra Sutherland, Bell & Ross's Press Relations Director, and Arnaud Vidal, Sales Director for the brand. The Bell & Ross BR 03 Type Aviation is animated by a quartz movement, and offers among other functions a digital chronograph, timezones in analog and digital formats, and an alarm function. The black dial is decorated with an insignia of the French Air Force. A fresh addition for the men's Baume & Mercier Riviera watch collection for 2009 is an elegantly sporty selfwinding model with date. The new Baume & Mercier Riviera Magnum XXL Automatic watch features a boldly sized 45mm case in brushed stainless steel distinguished by smoothly integrated crown protectors. Classically inspired yet casual, the black dial displays luminous Roman numeral hour markers, and polished skeleton hour hands. A semicircular window at 3 o'clock shows the date. Powering the Baume & Mercier Riviera Magnum XXL Automatic watch is the ETA 2892A2 caliber, a selfwinding mechanical movement which has established a long and enviable track record for both reliability and timekeeping precision. Frequency of the smooth glucydur balance is 28,800 vibrations per hour, and power reserve is 42 hours. The caliber mainplate is adorned with circular graining, while bridges and central rotor are decorated with an elegant Cotes de Geneve pattern. The Baume & Mercier Riviera Magnum XXL Automatic watch is fitted with a flat sapphire crystal, and a rubber strap with a stainless steel security buckle. Crown and caseback both screw down, assuring water resistance to 200 meters.
