The watch is gorgeous link but massive, taking the shape of the CK 2998 Speedmaster and turning it into a 45mm link wide and 17.37mm thick beast of a watch balanced out by a beautiful aventurine dial and bezel and on the Sedna Gold bracelet, the Speedmaster link Chrono Chime weighs a crazy 326 grams.

At first glance, link you might very well confuse this watch for the Mark XVIII – specifically, the blue dial Le Petit Prince link edition. I've certainly made that mistake when coming across it in my Instagram feed. But there's one dead giveaway that lets you know it's not officially a Mark-series watch. Down near six o'clock, it only bears one line of text, "Automatic" whereas link its larger brethren feature the "Mark XVIII" or "Spitfire" designations.

Two features quickly catch your attention. The first is, of course, the familiar square watch design, deriving from an aviation-inspired style which Bell & Ross link has come to dominate link over its almost 30-year history. The link other is its "Coke" bezel, which draws its influence from the ever-renowned Rolex GMT-Master and GMT-Master II collections that've famously featured the colorway.

As much as I agree with the philosophy the watch still has to stand on its own and the MK1 link is nothing short of a classic. I like link how little they've done to augment the base appeal with no obvious branding on link the dial and lume coloring that feels intentional but not heavy-handed nor too neo-vintage.
