Xemex “Quarter” Avenue Watch Is Themed After Bell & Ross BR-01
The success of the Bell & Ross BR-01 series has spawned legions of copies from other manufacturers, both good and bad.

Nivrel Sea Series Diving Watch Makes Sense For Any Collection: Coming in Red, Yellow, And Blue Trim
It is my firm conviction that each watch collection must have at least one classic diving watch.
