Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver Black & Green Bronze

In this new version of the iconic BR 03-92 diver, Swiss luxury watch brand Bell & Ross combines a bronze case with a brilliant green dial and black ceramic bezel insert.

Bell & Ross has showcased its expertise in diving instruments since 1997, when the Hydromax, the Maison’s first diving watch, set a world record of being waterproof to 11,100 metres.

Ten years later, a second diver watch emerged with the BR 02 collection, waterproof to 1,000 metres and specifically designed for the underwater world. In technical terms, the BR 02 is equipped with a helium decompression valve and an ultra-resistant domed sapphire crystal: essential elements for saturation diving.

From 2017, with the arrival of the BR 03-92 Diver model among its family of instrument watches, Bell & Ross adopted a new aesthetic: not all divers are made round. Faithful to the Maison’s DNA, the functionality of fighter plane dashboard instruments was combined with the now signature “rounded square” case.

In 2018, Bell & Ross added a remarkable new variation, cutting the 42 x 42mm square case in bronze. Sophisticated, evocative and elegant, the new BR 03-92 DIVER BLACK & GREEN BRONZE takes on a neo-retro look.

Luminous and refined, its new green dial is highly readable. In conjunction with the bronze case, the reflections are harmonious with the material, whose natural colour tends at times towards red.

As for the case, its complex four-part screw assembly attracts the attention of watch enthusiasts. Additionally, the solid bronze unidirectional rotating bezel, graduated to 60 minutes, and equipped with a black anodised aluminium ring and the telescopic screw-down crown.

Bronze is a classic material in the nautical environment, as a non-ferrous metal alloy consisting mainly of copper. Ever since the beginnings of underwater explorations, equipment for the first modern divers has included bronze elements. The alloy used for the BR 03-92 DIVER BLACK & GREEN BRONZE is CuSn8, composed of 92% copper and 8% tin.

Conceived and designed as a professional tool for divers, the BR 03-92 DIVER BLACK & GREEN BRONZE watch complies with international standard ISO-6425. Its case is completely waterproof to 300 metres. The iconic diver’s helmet, traditionally made of bronze, is engraved on the hypoallergenic stainless steel case-back.

The watch houses a mechanical self-winding BR-CAL.302 movement (based on Sellita SW300-1) with 25 jewels. Beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), it provides a 54-hour power reserve.

The choice of black rubber strap or synthetic canvas with Velcro closure makes the watch completely versatile. This timepiece is available in a limited edition of 999 pieces.
