The new BR03‑92 HUD by Bell & Ross takes inspiration from the avionics displays of fighter jets.
HUD stands for Head Up Display, a transparent glass screen that displays all information that is essential to fulfill a mission in the pilot’s visual field. For optimal effectiveness, its primary function is to keep the pilot focused on the target ahead without having to take the eyes off their line of sight. To always guarantee optimal legibility, the screen will adjust in brightness and contrast to optimize the ambient lighting.
The 42 mm black matte ceramic case features the typical "circle in a square" that evokes the silhouette of an aircraft cockpit clock and frames a dial that is built on 3 layers.
On the upper level, the green-tinted sapphire crystal gives the illusion of the digital HUD-type display, using the surface of the disc dial and that of the crystal. 4 brackets are printed on the reverse of the crystal, reminding the 4 corners of the HUD line of sight.
On the middle level, the black and green hands reveal the minutes and seconds. The hand’s center parts were purposely hidden to further increase the digit analogy and the legibility principles of professional aeronautical instruments.
On the lower level, the hours are indicated by a green triangle marker which appears in the center through an independent concentric disc which is not graduated.
The sapphire crystal is tinted and obtained through a green pigment coating technique that is applied on its underside. To provide an intense green light, hours numerals, indices and triangle as well as the minute-circle and hands are coated with green Super‑LumiNova C3 treatment. The latter is also applied on the 4 brackets underneath the crystal.
The watch is water resistant to 100 metres / 330 feet and powered by the automatic calibre BR-CAL.302 (base Sellita SW300-1) beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a power reserve of 38 hours.
Produced in a limited edition of only 999 pieces and completed with both a black rubber and an ultra-resilient black synthetic fabric strap, the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 HUD has a retail price of Euro 3,700. bellross.com
