Review Bell & Ross BR V3-94 Black Steel Replica with Low Price

As a brand specializing in pilot watches - not only for aircraft pilots, but also for racing pilots in partnership with Formula 1 - Bell & Ross is no stranger to chronograph complications. Today, let's review this sturdy and masculine Bell & Ross BR V3-94 Black Steel replica watch BRV394-BL-ST/SCA.

The Case & Dial

The new Bell & Ross BR V3-94 Black Steel replica now has a 43mm case, with more massive shoulders and lugs, as well as an integrated inner-lug module. 

Other than the shape and size, the bezel is now bi-directional with a 60-minute scale printed on an anodized black aluminium insert, the layout has evolved from a bi-compax to a 3-6-9 display and the chronograph pushers are simple pumps instead of (not so practical) screwed buttons. All in all, this Bell & Ross Vintage watch replica is better adapted for racing and action. A tachymeter scale is also present, printed on the inner flange.

In classic B&R style, the dial of the BR V3-94 Black Steel replica is matte black with highly contrasting white numerals and markers, and all the elements (hands and indexes) are filled with Super-LumiNova. This makes for a very monochromatic, technical and sporty watch with a more instrumental look than the BR V2-94. A date is positioned at 4h30 in a circular window.

This is a three register chronograph with running seconds at 3:00, a 30 minute totalizer at 9:00, and an hours register that counts to 12 at 6:00. This is a comfortable and familiar chronograph format. So comfortable, in fact, it's not even meaningfully interrupted by a small, circular, 4:30 date window. 

The Movement

The Black Steel is powered by the BR-CAL.301, an automatic caliber with 42 hours of power reserve. This is a rebadged ETA 2894-2, which is used frequently throughout the replica Bell & Ross product line, and is also featured in watches from Tissot, Rado, Chopard, and others. It's a workhorse movement that gets around, and it certainly didn't give me any problems in my relatively brief time with it. The caseback is open, so if you choose to, you can take in the movement's mostly industrial decoration of machine applied striping to the custom rotor and perlage throughout the plates. 

The BR V3-94 replica is available in two versions, on a black leather strap or on a steel bracelet. Both are equipped with folding clasp.
