Bell & Ross BR-03 White Steel & GoldvsOak & Oscar The Olmsted FEW Edition

The Bell & Ross BR-03 White Steel & Gold is noted for its dressier interpretation of the brand's square design, featuring a 41mm or 42mm steel case with an 18k rose gold bezel and crown, and an opaline white dial with rose gold accents. Reviewers highlight its slimmer profile, with case thickness reported at 9.65mm and 41mm or 42mm diameter, making it wearable while retaining the signature chunky quirkiness. The BR-CAL.302-1 automatic movement offers a power reserve of 54 to 56 hours. Some find the blue hands on the dial to be a miss, and at its price point, some wish for COSC certification. Overall, reviewers praise the Bell & Ross BR-03 White Steel & Gold for its striking good looks and improved wearability due to its reduced dimensions.

Owners widely praise Oak & Oscar Olmsted for its design, quality, and customer service, with one owner highlighting a personal gift from the brand. The Oak & Oscar Olmsted Matte features a stealthy black ceramic coating on its 38mm case for scratch resistance, a clean sandwich dial with orange accents, and a modified ETA 2892A2 movement regulated in Chicago. It comes with both leather and nylon straps and was initially priced at $1,475, with production limited by the coating process. Overall, owners rate the Oak & Oscar Olmsted highly for its thoughtful design and durable ceramic finish.
