Bell & Ross - BR 03-92 Diver. Bell & Ross 2017 novelties. New watches.
Renowned for its square timepieces, Bell & Ross had not a square diver’s watch in its collection until this year. In fact, developing a diving watch with a square case that meets the stringent requirements defined by international standard ISO 6425 represents a big challenge.
The wait is over with the new BR 03-92 Diver, a professional diving instrument driven by a Swiss self-winding mechanical movement which guarantees water resistance to 300 meters / 1000 feet.
The square case is equipped with a 60-minute calibrated rotating bezel, whose luminescent dot at 12 o’clock is used to set time references and calculate time spent underwater.
To prevent the references from being lost, it is unidirectional. This way, if it is moved accidentally, it automatically shortens the dive time to avoid any risk.
Screwed down to withstand the pressure at great depths, the crown of the BR 03-92 Diver is equipped with a guard that guarantees complete protection against impacts and optimal water resistance. The crown is also fitted with a rubber insert for improved ergonomics.
The 42 mm satin-polished case is reinforced with a very thick back (2.80 mm on the BR 03-92 Diver, compared to 1.80 mm on the BR 03-92 Steel) and is equipped with a soft iron cage to increase the resistance of Calibre BR-CAL.302 (base Sellita SW300-1) to magnetic fields. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, this automatic movement offers a power reserve of 38 hours.
The sapphire crystal with antireflective coating is an 2.85 mm thick, compared to the 1.50 mm on the classic steel BR 03-92.
The deep black dial features applied indices filled with white Super-LumiNova for enhanced legibility. Thanks to its orange colour, the hour hand can be distinguished from the white minute hand at a glance. Even the second hand is filled with white Super-LumiNova in order to allow the diver to verify that the watch is operating correctly even underwater.
The Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver comes with two straps, one made from woven black rubber with a steel pin buckle and the other in black synthetic fabric with a Velcro closure system for quick adjustment over the suit. Price: Euro 3,300. bellross.com
