Bell & Ross has a strong history of manufacturing legible, functional, accurate, robust and reliable watches diving watches for underwater exploration.
When Bell & Ross released its first square diving watch in 2017, the brand confirmed its ability to produce professional underwater instruments. Following on from the HYDROMAX designed in 1997 and water-resistant to 11,100 meters, and the BR02 range launched in 2007, the BR03-92 DIVER made a strong impression on the diving world with its iconic square case. It was the starting point of an entire collection, which is expanding to include an innovative new version, the BR03-92 DIVER FULL LUM.
Only watches that meet the requirements defined by international standard ISO 6425 can be labeled as diving watches. These official regulations set out very specific criteria and list a great number of fundamental technical characteristics. Those include water-resistance to a minimum depth of 100 meters; the presence of a unidirectional rotating bezel with a graduated minutes scale, an operation indicator and luminescent markers; legibility in the dark; anti-shock and anti-magnetic protection.
Optimum legibility is a necessity for a diving watch. It is also Bell & Ross’ main philosophy and one of its guiding principles. To that extent, the BR 03-92 DIVER FULL LUM perfectly fulfills this essential requirement.
Playing with inverted contrasts, Bell & Ross adapts its LUM concept to its diving collection and reverses the traditional principles of day and night legibility. With the BR03-92 DIVER FULL LUM, the watchmaking brand also works with different shades of luminescence.
While its metal basis dial is fully coated with a paint made of green Superluminova® C5 pigments, the metal applique skeletonized indices and the bezel’s numerals are filled with green Superluminova® C3. This ultra-phosphorescent green light has a very long durability in the dark, offering a continued optimal reading of time even in complete darkness.
The 42 mm diameter deep matte black ceramic case houses an automatic movement that drives hours, minutes, seconds and date functions. Fitted with a unidirectional rotating ceramic bezel with 60-minute scale and sapphire crystal glass, the BR03-92 DIVER FULL LUM watch is water resistant up to 300 meters.
The BR03-92 DIVER FULL LUM model is available in a limited edition of 999 pieces.
