Carbon Fiber Gear is all about covering the latest in carbon fiber, and finding unique carbon fiber products, parts, & accessories.

Carbon fiber is being used in a number of high-end watches, like the Bell & Ross watches we’ve written about in the past. It’s a unique feature that allows a watchmaker to differentiate themselves from other companies. That’s where designer John Pszeniczny comes into play for his Montre F1/Carbon GMT watch concept which he designed:

The watch is inspired by an F1 car, utilizing a variety of materials you’d find on the car itself; rubber, carbon fiber, and metal. On top of that, you’ll find Swarovski crystals, and 18 rubies that represent the 18 different F1 tracks around the world. Speaking of the 18 F1 tracks, the digital display can show the time at any of those tracks. On top of that, it also features a lap time function and a stopwatch.

This unique piece will run you well into the 5 figure range. I’ve read anywhere from $20,000-$40,000.

Bell & Ross was formed in 1992 to be a part of the Swiss watchmaking tradition, while also meeting the demands of men facing extreme situations. Now the likes of astronauts, pilots, divers, and bomb disposal experts use Bell & Ross watches. A few of the watches that they make offer various carbon fiber parts, which makes it appealing to us. Bell & Ross watches are a masterpiece in the making, and just as functional on your wrist. Lets take a look at a few of their carbon fiber offerings:

BR 01-94 Titanium & BR 01-94 Titanium Orange

The above watch which is the titanium orange version is a limited edition (there were only 500 made). I see them on eBay for about $7,750.

BR 01-97 Power Reserve Gold

The above BR 01-97 power reserve gold is also a limited edition watch with only 250 pieces made. I couldn’t find pricing on this one, but the stainless steel version was a little over $3,000.

BR 01 Tourbillon

This is probably my most favorite looking of all of the less Bell & Ross carbon fiber watches. This article from The Watch Quote has some really nice pictures to show off the beautiful design of the BR 01 Tourbillon. As good as it looks, it will set you back $131,000.

BR 02 Pink Gold

The BR 02 style goes away from the square faces we’ve seen above. This watch offers a decompression valve for deep sea diving, with a 300m water resistance. The watch can be had for about $20,000.

BR 03-51 GMT

Here’s another square face offering, this one has the date on it with big numbers for readability. This is also one of the cheaper carbon fiber watches they offer at about $5,000.

As always, make sure and check eBay for the best deals, here’s a few listed on there right now:

Want to wear carbon fiber with class? Consider these carbon fiber/stainless steel cufflinks made by Steelx. They are polished stainless steel with a nice carbon fiber insert in the middle. They are normally $75, but at the time of writing this, they are 40% off at Amazon.
