What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Bell & Ross BR 03-92 DESERT TYPE

The Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Desert Type features a 42mm black ceramic case and a sand-colored dial with a sandwich construction. It is powered by the BR Caliber 302 movement, which offers a 38-hour power reserve. The dial has aviation-shaped hands and a photoluminescent lower insert. On balance, owners and reviewers note the distinctive dial and case construction of the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Desert Type.

William Wood Beacon

The William Wood Beacon is praised for its bold flavors, particularly its prominent oak and rye influence, with tasting notes of candied orange peel, dried apricots, and baking spices, and a long, full finish. Some find its oak-forward profile overwhelming and its MSRP of $300 unreasonable. Overall, owners rate the William Wood Beacon highly for its bold flavors and character, with one owner awarding it a score of 9.4/10.
