BaselWorld 2012: Bell & Ross Company Introduces New Watch from Aviation Collection. BR01 Turn Coordinator Watch
The watch company Bell & Ross has presented at the annual international exhibition BaselWorld 2012 a watch novelty from the Aviation Collection - the BR01 Turn Coordinator watch.
Aviation Collection - one of the most famous watch lines by Bell & Ross, which inspired for the creation of tools for aircraft instrument panel. Each model in this collection follows the design of peculiar cockpit instrument. The watch from Aviation Collection is manufactured in strict accordance with the four fundamental requirements for cockpit instruments: precision, functionality, accuracy and water resistance.
First watch with such a design the company has introduced in 2005. Then inspiration has served as one of the famous aircraft of 1970s. The model has acquired cult status and the master of the company continued to study aeronautical instruments, creating a unique image of their models, reflecting the technical capacity and the minimalist design of the heavenly liners.
At the exhibition BaselWorld 2012 the company has introduced just three new items in this series: watches BR01 Horizon, BR01 Altimeter BR01 Turn Coordinator. The genuine Swiss watches are made in accordance with the highest standards that apply to all professional aeronautical watches.
The original watch BR01 Turn Coordinator is created in association with the instrument “Turn Coordinator”. Turn Coordinator is an indicator that shows the rate of turn (degrees per minute). The device consists of a silhouette of the aircraft, which shows the rate of turn in degrees and minutes, and slip indicator.
Serifs L and R are located on the instrument, denoting the standard rate of turn. For example, during a turn, as a rule, there is sideslip, which indicator is a ball.
With proper pilot technique a pilot must always keep the ball slip indicator in the center. If the ball is deflected from the central position, the pilot should return it to the center by means of pedals, the deflecting the plane rudder.
The BR01 Turn Coordinator watch is inspired for the creation of "turn coordinator” device, repeating the graphic design of the instrument and its design features.
As well as the turn coordinator, the BR01 Turn Coordinator watch consists of three concentric discs, each of which indexes the hours, minutes and seconds, respectively. The broadest external disc indexes hours, the minutes are indexed by an average disc, and seconds are indexed by the central small disc.
With regard to design of the dial as a whole, it is divided into two equal parts, of which the upper part is occupied by a transparent disc indexing time, and the lower opaque part is made, like an original instrument of the airplane.
On the technical side of BR01 Turn Coordinator, then the master of the company tried to do their best. To create the technical basis for the model that has to appropriate for the design problem, namely, full compliance the watches with the specific instrument of the plane, it took a separate team of top engineers and watchmakers of the company.
It should be noted several features of this model. Thus, first of all it should be said about feature the disc indexing time. Each of the three discs weighs only 30 times more than the hour hand. First of all, the masters who created watches was to develop ultra-light discs, which in addition to indexing time, could also provide economical consumption of power reserve.
In addition, as it was necessary to decide the potency of discs in order to avoid distortion of the thin disc from the friction that occurs when moving. To this end the company's specialists have used special materials with high strength.
In addition to these qualities the masters of Bell & Ross also solved the problem of high precision during the parallel operation of discs, which guarantees to the owner of this unique model a high precision.
The BR01 Turn Coordinator watch is made based on the automatic movement ETA 2892. Functions: hours, minutes, seconds.
The watch case in diameter of 46 mm is made of carbon fiber with black PVD coating. Crown - screwed.
The watch dial consists of three concentric discs. Markers, located on the external disc, index hours, a disc, located in the middle, indexes minutes and a central small disc is designed for indexing seconds.
The glass, covering the dial, is sapphire with antiglare coating. The watch water resistant is up to 100 meters. The watch strap is made of rubber with a stitching.
The BR01 Turn Coordinator watch is presented in a limited edition of 999 items. To buy the BR01 Turn Coordinator watch will be available through the Bell & Ross stores or authorized representatives of the company.
