Thoughtful design and perfect functionality. Since 1992, the Bell & Ross brand has been synonymous with watchmaking precision. This high-end Swiss watch can cover the demanding needs of pilots, divers and astronauts. In its 30 years of existence, Bell & Ross has established itself as one of the elite manufacturers of professional watches.
And it is no different with the new Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver Red Bronze BR0392-D-R-BR/SC. This Bell & Ross luxury diver's watch will transport you to the depths of the ocean.
You may have seen a similar model back in 2018 when it was introduced in black. After green and blue, it was time for the elegant colour combination of a red dial with a brown leather strap and a thorn buckle. This design evolution highlights Bell & Ross' ability to innovate and adapt the watch to current trends without losing its distinctive look.
This limited edition Bell & Ross is limited to 999 pieces. It is dominated by the iconic 42 mm × 42 mm square case with a round dial that catches the eye. The design is complemented by a brown calfskin strap that adds a touch of elegance. A design specialty is the beige stitching that ensures the longevity of the strap. This distinctive design is based on the instruments in the cockpit of an aircraft, which underlines the brand's origins as an aviation watch manufacturer.
The lunette case is made of satin-finished CuSn8 Bronze, an alloy of 92% copper and 8% tin. The alloy has been used in the past to make diving equipment, the legacy of which is claimed by the engraved diving helmet on the back. Allergy sufferers will appreciate that the back of the watch is stainless steel.
The popularity of copper in the watchmaking world. It creates a characteristic patina on watches over time. Each Bell & Ross watch in this limited edition thus creates its own unique look - depending on the style of wear and the environment in which it is worn.
The mechanical watch with self-winding movement with the reliable BR-CAL.302 has a power reserve of 38 hours.
Set into the case is a durable sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective finish under which you will find a red dial with gold-plated indices and hands with a Super-LumiNova® coating for perfect legibility in all conditions. This feature is key for both divers and pilots who must rely on their watch in every situation.
This elegant watch is suitable for everyday wear. But don't be fooled, the BR 03-92 Diver Red Bronze meets all the standards for diving watches set by the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry, ISO 6425. It's water resistant to 300 metres, so just swap the leather strap for a rubber strap and you can explore the beauty of the ocean with it. The crown is rubberized and encased in a case, ensuring maximum protection against water ingress.
Although the model is primarily designed for diving, it does not deny its aviation roots. The square case, inspired by aeronautical instruments, clear legibility and robust construction are hallmarks that Bell & Ross has carried over from the world of aviation to the diving watch. This limited edition thus represents the perfect blend of aviation design and diving functionality.
As a limited edition Swiss watch, the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver Red Bron represents an interesting investment opportunity. History shows that limited edition luxury watches maintain their value over the long term, and some models even increase it significantly. With a limited edition of 999 pieces and a unique design, this model has all the ingredients to become a sought-after collector's piece.
