Fly-By Death: 5 Skull-Themed BR 01 Timepieces By Bell

Quick Facts Bell & Ross BR 01 Skull AirborneCase: 46 mm, bead-blasted steel with black carbon powder coating In 2011, when tourbillons were still the complicated element du jour, Bell & Ross added one to its popular BR 01 Skull line The BR 01 Tourbillon Skull Airborne originally came on a black shagreen strap with rubber lining, an elegant style that was all the rage in that year.

A time-only BR 01 Airborne II watch in a distressed steel case with a luminescent skull dial was also introduced in 2011 in a limited edition of 999 pieces The bronze-encased version of Bell & Ross's BR 01 Skull docks right into the bronze craze that started right around 2015, which I documented in Give Me Five! Bronze Watches At Baselworld 2016 The Laughing Skull is my clear favorite piece of the BR 01 skull series.
