If you’re even going to make it to the airport on time you are going to need a good watch. Enter the Bell & Ross Vintage Officer. I love this watch for many reasons but its overriding appeal lies in the fine margins of contemporary cool and classic vintage. If I had to call it, the oversized Arabic numerals and the ever so subtle sunburst guilloché dial are it’s winning features. Team that with a ‘goes with anything’ grey alligator strap and you’re good to go.

Sadly it won’t help you take off any sooner when you’re stuck on the tarmac due to refuelling issues but if you are forced to clock watch, this is the way to do it.
