![Exclusive: Bell & Ross Vintage Steel Heritage [Baselworld 2018]](https://www.esquireme.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/cloud/2021/09/09/Bell-&-Ross-_Vintage-Sports-Heritage_BR-V2-94-Steel-Heritage.jpg)
The Bell & Ross vintage line is meant to be reminiscent of the same designs worn by pilots and aeronautics enthusiasts in the 1960s.
Better-known for their retro-stylings, bold faces and excellent value for money, it’s no surprise that the Heritage range has become one of B&R’s most popular lines to date. That’s probably why the French luxury watch company has decided to double-down on the Heritage line and expand the range to include all-new models in steel.
The new models keep the traditional sand-coloured numerals, case sizes and black dials. However, they’ve been given a satin-finished steel case, at a slightly smaller diameter of 41-millimetres. The heritage steel range also includes push-down buttons and a screw-down crown, to re-enforce the water-resistance case.
True to the new line’s word, the watches also come with a metal bracelet with links that ensure it sits comfortably on the wrist. There are also options for a patterned black-rubber strap across all models.
Full details on the range are below:
