Review: Replica Bell & Ross WW1-97 Heritage Automatic 45 MM ref. BRWW197-HER-ST/SCR Watch
The replica Bell & Ross WW1-97 Heritage Automatic ref. BRWW197-HER-ST/SCR is currently offered at a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $4500, which makes it a lot more interesting comparing to, say, IWC Pilots Mark XVII replica watch with its MSRP of $4900. The watch was originally presented last spring at Baselworld 2015 trade show and is now readily available on all major markets.
As some may have already guessed, the WW1-97 Heritage shares its underpinnings, and basic dial layout, with the 2011 Replica Bell & Ross Vintage WW1 Reserve de Marche model. It, too, is powered by the same modified ETA 2897 automatic movement, which is now called Caliber BR-CAL.307, but still features the same 42 hours of power reserve and is built on the same 21 jewels. Well, large size has its advantages, too.
For example, the oversized setting/winding crown is a lot more ergonomic than similarly proportioned jobs on smaller watches. The mildly distressed-look strap is, too, wider than on many aviators. Probably feel more convenient for a majority of owners although I would prefer the strap to be equipped with a perforated padding to make it even more comfortable on hotter days.
At 45 millimeters in diameter, this watch predictably consumes almost all available space on an average wrist. Even the short wire lugs that seem to be wielded to the stainless steel body don't help a lot, when it comes to making this timepiece more comfortable to wear for a normal person. Its overall lug-to-lug length is still around 52 millimeters.
Of course, it doesn't look ridiculously large like some recent pilot's watches that are styled after pre-WWII chronometers that were supposed to be worn over heavy leather jackets' cuffs, but it is still fairly massive. Bell & Ross, with its decades of experience, has brushed and polished the collection to a point where it just can't go wrong: although telling one their model from another sometimes requires a great deal of concentration.
They all look absolutely wonderful making it especially hard to resist putting a huge dent to your family budget when you have a computer with internet access, a credit card and a serious desire to burn some money in the stove of your vanity. This new Replica Bell & Ross WW1-97 Heritage Automatic, for example, seems to be inspired by a whole generation of wristwatches that were designed around pocket watch calibers and, is some instances, were basically normal pocket watches with wire lugs wielded to their cases.
The devices were, of course, impressively large, but that was okay, too, since they were most often ordered by pilots and the military that didn't care a lot about looks, but was more concerned with reliability and accuracy. The Swiss watchmaking brand Bell & Ross is quite prolific when it comes to styles and shapes of their timepieces.
Besides their signature box-shaped Aviation family that often features the most outrageous design. There is also a very expressive Marine line, and a vast collection of Vintage and Heritage models that are inspired by watches that were issued back in 1940s, 1930s and even earlier.
