Born during WWII, the Airborne divisions of the U.S. Army have a motto: “Death from Above,” which is symbolized by a skull that reminds of the reality of death on each military mission. A tribute to those brave young men who fought in one of the toughest army corps ever established, the limited-edition Bell & Ross BR 01 Airborne Watch is as stylish as they were stealthy. Composed of glass-bead-blasted steel with a black carbon powder coating, this terrifying timepiece features automatic movement, a glow-in-the-dark face, and can resist water up to 100 meters.
