Watch Overview

We are pleased to present this Bell & Ross BR 01-96 Commando Automatic wristwatch, a limited edition model of 500 pieces. Inspired by aviation instrumentation, this iconic square case design reflects the brand’s signature cockpit design.

It is powered by an automatic mechanical movement, featuring central hours, minutes, sweep-seconds, and a date display at 3 o’clock. Swiss made for precision and reliability.

The clean military-inspired layout features a matte black “Commando” dial with bold Arabic numerals, luminous hands, and high-contrast markers for excellent legibility. The date indicator is located at 3 o'clock.

Housed in a 46mm cushion stainless steel case with black PVD coating, it features exposed functional screws on the bezel, a sapphire crystal, and a screw-down caseback. Water resistance is rated to 100 meters (330 feet).

It comes fitted with the original black rubber strap and includes two additional straps, along with original Bell & Ross tools and accessories as shown. The watch is running and ready to wear.
