Spinnaker Fleuss Spinnaker has released two new diver watches into their ever growing model lineup and sent me two variations. The case on all Spinnaker Fleuss models is the same across the board, but as you can see, these two have different bezels, dials and crown. Both are vintage style divers, most notably taking inspiration from the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. Other colors of each are available as well, so check out the Spinnaker Website to take a look at those if the two I have for review..

Bell & Ross WW2 Regulateur Heritage Quite possibly their best watch of the year, the WW2 Regulateur Heritage pays tribute to the watches worn by the bomber navigators in the 1930’s and 1940’s. This model uses a not often seen but delightful format for displaying the time – the regulator format.  This dial layout originated in the very beginnings of Swiss watch manufactures. Every watch that left the factory was set to a master clock which was called the regulator. The dial separate..

Bell & Ross has just caught my eye with one of the more interesting aviation watches I've seen in some time: the Instrument BR 01-92 Compass.

The time is read through the top window while the other side of the disks are visible through the tinted bottom ..

The Bell & Ross company (Yep, that's an ampersand. The joke is that Bell & Ross got theirs from Vacheron Constantin, who used to be Vacheron & Constantin.) has been a recurring subject here on Watch Report. We like many of their watches, particularly the aircraft-styled Instrument collection and their new line of dive watches. Today we've got some new models from B&R, so let's take a look and see what's changed. First up is the BR01 Instrument Pro Titanium. Like their predeces..

TechnoMarine Abyss Dive watches come in all shapes and sizes, and are available at all different price points. Most watches with a uni-directional rotating bezel and the ability to fit over a wetsuit claim more water resistance then most of us will ever need: usually around 100-200 meters. But the watches I cover in this article go way deeper than your typical diver; deeper than the current 1,220 meter Rolex Sea Dweller; deeper, even, than the Breitling Steelfish which maxes out at a compar..
