Bell & Ross BR02 (phantom and steel)

By TLex Bell & Ross have done very little with their diver over the past few years. The BR02 was released back in 2007, then in 2008 a chronograph version was presented; the following year saw the Limited Edition BR02 'Blue' and BR02 'Orange'. For 2011 they have given the BR02 a bit of a face lift and have released two new variants of the it.



For those that know the BR02 the first and most noticeable change comes from a new handset; they have replaced its sword hand set (typically with its orange minute hand) for a more elegant looking set of hands. The BR02 STEEL with a carbon fiber dial and the BR02 PHANTOM with stealthy black SuperLuminova applied hands and markers on a black ‘Clous De Paris’ dial.



Cosmetic changes aside these new versions are as their predecessors with 44mm Stainless Steel cases water-resistant to 1’000m; the Steel version with a brushed finish and the PHANTOM finished in black PVD. Both versions now with black lateral automatic HEVs, which can be seen at 9 o’clock. On the standard models the HEVs are colored orange to match their orange minute hands. Other features include; AR coated sapphire crystals and Swiss automatic movements, the ETA caliber 2892 with 25 jewels, beating at 28,800 vph with a power reserve of 42 hours.

The new Yaris comes in three body styles: the four-door hatchback, the two-door hatchback and the four-door sedan. The colors Yellow Jolt, Zephyr Blue and Carmine Red Metallic have been discontinued but new colors such as white and silver have been added. This vehicle is just 12 feet long so room for cargo is a bit of a problem. As for leg space, the sedan type Yaris has a bit more of that compared to the other two body styles. The height of the vehicle is not a problem because there is sufficient room for the passengers to sit upright exclussive of hitting their heads in the ceiling.

The instrument panel of the 2011 Toyota Yaris is something that needs getting used to since it is not placed right in front of the driver. The instrument panel of the Yaris is located on the central pod which is not its usual location. There is only one type of trim for this vehicle but its exterior appearance can be upgraded by adding add-ons such as alloy wheels. Sport packages are also accessable where color-keyed spoilers can be added as well as fog lamps and "S Badging". The Sport Package also allows the car owner to have elective bucket seats installed mutually with a steering wheel with leather accents and leather-covered shift knob.

ANGULAR MOMENTUM SmoothDiver



By TLex Presenting the new AM SmoothDiver (I wonder if that's smooth as in cool) ;) from Artisan watchmakers and masters of reinterpretation (of the dive watch that is), Angular Momentum. I have presented some of their extraordinary antipodean creations here before in particular the Steam Punk-esque Beryllium Diver and the inspirational DIVE-TEC 500.

These dive watches are not for your average PADI certified divers rather for the 20'000 Leagues Under The Sea-type aquanauts and other non-conformists, who are looking for something just a little out of the ordinary. The watches are all beautifully hand crafted in Angular Momentum's Swiss atelier and produced in very limited series. Please see below for full specifications of the Smooth Diver . . .
