ReviewFrom The Cockpit To Your Wrist – The Bell & Ross BR 03-92

“Because he wants to reach for the stars and explore the ocean depths… Because he lives out his passions to the fullest, man has always measured himself against time, turning a few seconds into a moment of eternity.”

To reach extraordinary lengths of precision, watchmakers sometimes loose the essence of simplicity. Exploration and studies through centuries have lead men to understand that it is indeed minimalism, that counts. Bell & Ross is a name that you can trust when it comes to keeping it simple yet effective every single time. They have always been known to manufacture watches for professional use. To assure this, the designers and engineers at Bell & Ross adhere to four guiding principles that are water resistance, precision, readability (legibility at a glance), and performance.

The help of military, safety, and health professionals is often enlisted to ensure that these aspects are incorporated in each watch. The brand encases some of the most complicated mechanisms in watchmaking with ease and expertise. The watches are styled for aviation specialists and take first hand inspiration from instruments in the cockpit.

Today, we talk about a legendary watch from the BR 03 series. Looking at the watch and its structural perfection leads to one and one conclusion only, it means serious business. The BR 03 steel instrument watch is not exclusively reserved for professional users but has become an iconic watch for numerous connoisseurs.

The BR 03 is an icon that pushes the boundaries of resistance over time. Its size as well as finishing and functions complement the BR 01 version.
