The Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Black & Green Bronze timepiece is a fusion of military precision and maritime resilience, designed to cater to diving enthusiasts with a taste for sartorial elegance. The watch features a CuSn8 bronze case that not only exudes a rugged charm but also offers exceptional durability, making it an ideal companion for underwater adventures.
Founded in 1992 by Bruno Belamich and Carlos Rosillo, Bell & Ross has a rich heritage rooted in German watchmaking craftsmanship. The brand's design philosophy draws inspiration from military objects, a theme that evolved with the introduction of the iconic BR 01 Instrument in 2005, inspired by vintage aircraft dashboard instruments.
The BR 03 series, a more compact iteration of the BR 01, marked a significant milestone for Bell & Ross, combining the brand's signature aesthetic with enhanced wearability. The Black & Green Bronze diver boasts a 42mm bronze case with a screw-down crown and an impressive water resistance of 300 meters, ensuring reliability in challenging aquatic environments.
The watch's teal-green matte dial, complemented by gold-plated indices and hands coated with Super-LumiNova, offers excellent legibility even in low-light conditions. The bronze unidirectional rotating bezel with a black anodized aluminum insert adds a contemporary touch to the traditional diver design, striking a perfect balance between modernity and functionality.
Bronze, known for its corrosion resistance and maritime legacy, has become a sought-after material in luxury timepieces like the Bell & Ross diver collection. Its ability to develop a unique patina over time adds a touch of individuality to each watch, making it a cherished possession for watch enthusiasts.
Powering the Black & Green Bronze diver is the BR-CAL.302 automatic movement, based on the reliable Sellita SW300-1 movement, offering a 54-hour power reserve. The watch comes with a black rubber strap and a matte black PVD-coated pin buckle for all-day comfort, with an additional synthetic fabric strap included in the package.
Limited to just 999 pieces, the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Black & Green Bronze diver is priced at USD $4,900, making it a coveted timepiece for collectors and diving aficionados alike.
