Light up the night sky. The latest women’s watch by Bell & Ross features a midnight blue dial studded with diamonds, like a slice of the Milky Way on the wrist.

Here’s one for the ladies. Famed aviation-themed watchmaker Bell & Ross has shot for the stars with its latest elegant timepiece aimed at sophisticated women. And the brand has delivered something quite stunning.

The watch is called BR S Diamond Eagle, which pays tribute to the night skies that have always aided travellers to reach their destinations. In the early days of flight, too, when the sun fell pilots were guided by the starts in the night sky.

True to its aviation heritage, the Diamond Eagle features the brand’s iconic round dial set in a squared case, introduced in 2005 and inspired by airplane navigation instruments. In fact, it was that case shape – part of the BR family - upon which the brand’s reputation was built.

The well-proportioned 39 x 39 mm case is machined from steel and is alternately polished and satin-finished. It provides the perfect contrast to the ‘star’ of the show, the celestially-inspired deep midnight blue dial.

Seven diamonds are set into the dial in the pattern of the Aquila constellation, which is easily visible from Earth. It takes the name from the mythological eagle of Jupiter - the god of the sky - a legendary bird that symbolizes strength and limitless heights.

Beyond the glistening diamonds, the refined midnight blue dial also hides other fine details which give it an exquisite depth. It has a sunray pattern characterised by tiny lines radiating outwards like sunbeams, covered in a blue-tinted varnish.

On the inside we have a standard Swiss made quartz movement – nothing to write home about but it certainly won’t let you down. Turning it over, the engraved case back also replicate the Aquila constellation in a stylised design. The overall package is complemented by a hand made midnight blue alligator strap, adding a touch more of harmony to the watch.

The Bell & Ross BR S Diamond Eagle is available in two versions. One boasts a bezel set with an additional 66 white diamonds, which would set you back about €5,900. The basic model with a less flashy bezel comes in at a reasonable €2,500. Very feminine and perfect for a night out, both new models definitely shine.
