About the Bell & Ross Instruments Collection
History
Bell & Ross was started as a university project in 1992 with just one thing in mind, functionality. Starting its venture as a military-inspired watch manufacturer, Bell & Ross became the first watchmaker to send a Chronometer to space with its Space 1 watch. It wasn’t until 2005 that Bell & Ross achieved international recognition. In 2005, Bell & Ross launched the BR-01, the first watch in the Bell & Ross Instruments collection.
Design
As a flag bearer of the square watches, the Bell & Ross Instruments collection forms the basis of the utilitarian DNA of the brand. What started as a round yet rugged set of timepieces, the square shape took its roots from the consoles of the vintage aircraft. This was also the era when Bell & Ross as a brand gained its independence and was free to experiment with new designs and ideas. This is when the idea of BR came forward with square designs and rugged constructions. Currently, the Instruments collection employs various iterations of its original designs.
Features
Featuring the simplest form of the Bell & Ross Instruments collection is the BR 03 Auto series. The BR 03 Auto features a small date window between the 4 and 5 o’clock marker but this is absent in a few of the timepieces such as the BR 03 Radiocompass or BR 03 Type A Patrouille De France. With the same layout as the Auto, the BR 03 Diver is the first square diving watch by Bell & Ross. The BR 03 Diver is also available in a bronze case. Adding a few complications to the collection, the BR 03 GMT is equipped with a second-time zone and the BR 03 Chrono features a detailed chronograph on the dial. Bringing in the brand’s expertise in Haute Horlogerie, the BR-X1 Chrono offers a skeleton dial with a detailed chronograph. Sensing the need for a petite yet tough watch, Bell & Ross decided to feature the BR S Quartz series. The S in the series stands for smaller, sleeker, and smarter. These sleek watches are available in camo prints and even diamond-studded variants.
ABOUT THE MOVEMENT
Another addition to the long list of robust movements by Bell & Ross is the BR-CAL.302. The automatic mechanical calibre is simple with just a date function and is mostly fitted inside the Heritage collection. This heavy-duty movement is tested to the extremes withstanding the idea of the brand. The BR-CAL.302 offers a power reserve of approximately 54 hours while vibrating at 28,800bph.

Bell and Ross is a French designer watch company founded in 1992 by a French designer and a Swiss businessman. The motto of the brand is to design watches that are simple, maintain water resistance, appeal to the general public.it more of a brand meant for people rather than the connoisseur.
The brand is inspired by aviation for its legible and vivid instrumentation panels and high quality materials. The BR-03 92 incorporates all these elements.the case and dial is crafted out of high quality aviation grade ceramic .the dial inspired from the airplane gauges the round bezel projects out highlighting the design. The square case with the 4 screws give that mechanical touch. The movement is a high quality valjoux, reliable.Sapphire crystal ensures that the bezel is scratch resistant. The silicone rubber strap is smooth and comfortable although the deployment clasps are replaced by a buckle.
Overall this watch is worth the money spent attributing to the ceramic, quality of craftsmanship and design.
