One of the unique watches is the orange Bell & Ross, which is part of the BR 03-94 collection. The rubber strap, carbon steel finished case, orange photo luminescent hands and sapphire crystal glass make this watch everything you could want in a luxury watch. You have your choice of a calfskin, alligator, black rubber or canvas watchband. One of alligator colors available is orange to match the face of the watch. This watch is part of a limited edition watch with only 250 ever made.
On the Bell & Ross homepage, they announce you cannot purchase a genuine Bell & Ross watch on the internet unless it's from a Bell & Ross authorized dealer. It also says any watch claiming to be a Bell & Ross watch that was not purchased through a Bell & Ross authorized dealer may be a replica Bell & Ross or a fake and will not be covered by a Bell & Ross warranty. There are auction sites that have Bell & Ross for sale. These may or may not be authentic watches. The final decision of whether or not to look into Bell & Ross sales will be up to you. If the price is right, they may be worth looking at, just in case they are genuine. Many don't mind wearing replica Bell & Ross watches, if they look exactly like the genuine watch, but at a lesser cost.
