Bell & Ross Space 4
I think this is the first watch I ever bought from a proper watch store; I’ve had it about 15 years and still love it.
Bell & Ross Branding everywhere, titanium case, flush chrono pushers & recessed crown
Clear, no-nonsense numerals, balanced subdials, matching red hands for chrono function. An engineer’s watch; in the vein of Sinn, IWC, etc. 
Thick as a half-pound hamburger!

Sweet. The flushed pushers and retractable crown is genius.
When i first got into watches, the first swiss watch catalogue i got is B&R, which had this watch, among other superb first gen B&R. Did not have the money to buy, back then. But i still keep the catalogue just to see their design which is very similar to...
Looks great!
I have a soft spot for early B&R, many of which were made by Sinn. They have a few nice ones like the panda diver or the demineur diver.
Very cool!
Question: I know a lot of early Bell and Ross watches were made by Sinn. But this one... if you covered the brand name and asked who made it I'd have guessed Tutima. Do you know if this one is connected to Tutima?
You are absolutely correct - this is akin to the Tutima 5100 Chronograph
The case shapes and functionality are similar on these two watches. HOWEVER, Tutima used hinged metal pushers vs the rubber ones on the Space4. Tutima chose a Lemania 5100 movement Bell & Ross used the Valjoux (ETA) 7750 movement. Here are some other deta...
Wow, thanks for the point-by-point comparison!
I've got to love the 5100 and its central minutes counter for a watch like this. But I also have to say the contrasting rubber pushers and the recessed crown are both very cool moves on B&R's part!
No nonsense design in titanium. Looks great.
I remember Bell and Ross, have to admit I kind of forgot about them. They had a couple of cool divers as well: “Hydromax”?
