Bell & Ross listed it as unavailable on its US and Singapore product pages on October 8, 2026; those pages showed prices of $6,000 and SGD 8,000, respectively. This is a specifications and listing review, not a firsthand inspection or wear test.

Bell & Ross lists the crown and chronograph pushers as screw-down. The skeletonized metal hands are filled with Super-LumiNova. The watch belongs to the brand’s Vintage family, rather than its square-cased Instrument line. Bell & Ross’s US product page provides the reference and official specifications.
Movement details: official listing and 2019 reporting
The current Bell & Ross product page identifies the movement as the automatic mechanical BR-CAL.301 but does not list a power reserve, frequency, or jewel count. Monochrome Watches’ launch report, published April 16, 2019, said the caliber was based on the ETA 2894-2 and reported a 42-hour power reserve, a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and 37 jewels. Those are launch-era details attributed to that publication, not figures displayed on the current official product page. Read Monochrome Watches’ 2019 launch report.
Design and the Bellytanker name
The bronze case and bezel contrast with a black dial and strap. Monochrome characterized the color scheme as reminiscent of the “John Player Special” palette. Its 2019 article also traced “Bellytanker” to aircraft belly drop tanks and, later, streamlined race cars built from surplus tanks after World War II. This is historical context as described by that publication.
