Watch and Compass in One from Bell & Ross Co
In aviation, a compass and a watch always go hand in hand. If you are
looking for this unique time and directional piece, you can watch out
for the launch of the Bell and Ross Instrument BR 01-92 Compass.
At first look, the design is similar to that of an ordinary and
traditional aviation compass. But take a closer look and you will see
a unique angle to this piece. You would normally expect hands moving
around a dial, but no, the BR 01-92 Compass’ movement is contained in
2 discs. One disc is for the hours and the other disc for minutes
which both rotates on a stationary vertical line. If you want to read
the time, you can do so through a top window. The other side of the
disc can be seen through a tinted bottom crystal on the timepiece.
Other features of BR 01-92 Compass include an automatic ETA 2892
movement, water resistant and have a screw down crown. The appearance
of this timepiece is stunning with a sapphire crystal coating,
stainless steel PVD finished case and a leather rubber strap. Watch
out for this timepiece in your local retail watch shops as it is
limited to only 500 pieces! If you are a watch or a compass collector,
this is definitely a must-have!

There's nothing we cannot do to a Rolex in terms of customizations and by constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible, I believe we've come up with something that's both extremely unique and stunning to look at."
The process called Physical Vapor Deposition sends massive amounts a carbon coating composed of titanium and nitrogen for over 6 hours in a vacuum sealed environment. This coating proved the steel with a physical barrier that reduces the possibility of scratches and increases hardness by up to 20 times the normal.
