When it comes to cutting-edge timepieces, you’d be hard-pressed to find anything better than the bespoke aviation and pilot watches coming out of the Bell & Ross shop. Their latest, the Bell & Ross BR 03-93 GMT Coke Dial Watch, is the perfect example of the form meets function and affordable price tag meets high-end design that the brand has come to be known for over the past few decades. Sure, it’s in the handful of thousands price rang that you’ve come to expect from high-end watch brethren like Rolex, but the Bell & Ross BR 03-93 GMT Coke Dial Watch combines that familiar split-dial aesthetic with a bi-directional, 24-hour aluminum bezel, large white photoluminescent numerals and indexes and the ability to display the time from three different locations around the world. What’s more, the stylish square 42mm case is uniquely suited to be worn with either the black calfskin leather or ultra-resilient synthetic fabric strap depending on whether or not you’re feeling sporty or stylish. In other words, this watch checks all of the boxes.
