Bell & Ross – INSTRUMENTS BR-03 Diver Lum Outline Edition

Bell & RossINSTRUMENTS BR03 DIVER Lum  Outline  42mm Black Ceramic Edition - 2025

 BR-03 DIVER LUM OUTLINE: GLOWING ALL ALONG THE LINE

A technical asset, luminescence is also the distinctive style signature of the BR-03Diver Lum Outline. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

This new tool-watch for Bell&Ross divers, limited to 500 pieces, plays оп the effect of highlighting only the contours, much like a neon outline. A minimalist, highly functional vision of light.

THE LUMINESCENCE: ASTECHNICALASAESTHETIC

Originally a purely technical feature, Super-LumiNova® has always served a practical purpose: to make the dial's indicators visible in the dark. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

This is essential for professional watches, whether in the aeronautical or the marine and underwater environments. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Bold and powerful, the new BR-03 Diver Lum Outline asserts the core lines of the Lum concept with an original twist: it highlights just the outlines. "Like the neon of an illuminate dsign, the green Super-LumiNova® traces and lights up the contours of the hands and indices. It's as if we'd drawn this dial with a green highlighter on matte black paper. In the dark, the hour markers are perfectly legible. Here, photoluminescenceis a visual signature that's both useful and decorative, day and night," explains Bruno Belamich.

An enthusiast of modernist architecture and design, Bell&Ross's Creative Director and co-founder embraces Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's motto " Less is More," celebrating beauty in simplicity and functionality. 

LUMINESCENC A BRAND EXPERTISE

Offering optimal readability by day and night, luminescence has been at the heart of Bel1& Ross creations since the brand's inception. Initially confined to a practical role, it first appeared in the 1930S with the use of radium. But because of its radioactivity and its limited duration of glow, safek longer-lasting technologies were sought.

 The arrival of Super-LumiNova® in 1993 marked a major milestone. Eager to push further, Bell&Ross developed an original concept to amplify luminous power. Launched with the BR 03-92 Horolum in 2017 and followed by the BR 03-92 Nightlum a year lateg the Lum series is defined by the exceptional glow of its numerals, indices, and hands. In 2019, the BR 03-92 Full Lum went further still, featuring a dial entirely coated in Super-LumiNova® that lights up by contrast.

Playing with chromatic effects, the maison unveiled the BR 03-92 Grey Lum in 2020, emitting an intense green glow reminiscent of runway lighting, then the BR 03-92 Diver Full Lum, combining two shades of luminescence light green and pale yellow on its dial. In 2021, the limited-edition vintage BRV2-94 FullLum offered a new stylistic take, proving the Full Lum concept could marry perfectly with the refined aesthetics of classic watches.  In 2022, the BRV2-92 Full Lum delivered an ultra-luminous interpretation for a three-hand watch, while the BR-X5 Green Lum introduced an unprecedented luminescent case construction, pairing titanium with the photoluminescent LM3D composite. Today, Bell&Ross continues this creative journey with a fresh approach: the BR-03 Diver Lum Outline.

AN OUTLINED DIAL

Whatever the creative approach, a Bell&Ross watch's design is always guided by the requirement of perfect legibility. Underwater or at high altitude, the time information must be instantly understandable. The new BR-03 Diver Lum Outline upholds this rule. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Its "baignoire" style applied indices and skeletonized hour and minute hands are filled with black varnish to make the green luminescent outline stand out. The dial, finished in matte black varnish and topped by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, features a green printed minute track. The seconds hand has a green tip and a black counterweight.

To complement the uniform look of this diver's watch in micro-blasted black ceramic, two straps are offered: one in black rubber and one in black synthetic fabric, both fitted with a matte black PVD-treated steel buckle.

APROFESSIONALTOOLWATCH DESIGNED FOR DIVERS

Whenever Bel1& Ross designs a watch, it always keeps professional users' needs in mind. Dedicated to the marine world, the BR-03 Diver collection was developed in close collaboration with diving professionals to meet every diver's requirement.

 "Equipping professionals with tools worthy of their mission and pushing the boundaries of the extreme has always been integral to our brand's DNA," says Carlos Rosillo, President and co-founder of Bell&Ross

The 42mm micro-blasted black ceramic case, 13.35mm thick, and screw-down crown of the BR-03 Diver Lum Outline ensure water-resistance to 300 meters. It meets all the attributes of a diving watch certified by the Swiss Horological Federation under the IS06425 standard, including a unidirectional ceramic bezel graduated for 60 minutes, with minute markings up to 15 minutes.

The new diver is also powered by a mechanical automatic movement with a 54-hour power reserve.

BELL&R0SS: DEEP DIVING SINCE 1997

Creator of instrument watches for professionals, Bell&Ross thrives on extreme challenges. Beyond equipping pilots for high-altitude missions, it was a natural step to conquer the depths. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  


In 1997, just three years after the brand's founding, Bell&Ross set the world record for water-resistance with the Hydromax watch water resistant to 11,100 meters, thanks to its patented, transparent, fluorinated oil-filkd case. This feat, still unmatched, opened new possibilities in the aquatic realm.

Since 2017, diver's models in the BR-03 Diver line have carried on that legacy "for professionals who demand tools of absolute reliability," as Carlos Rosillo notes. By treating luminescence as both a functional feature and a design element, Bell&Ross has continuously boosted its divers' watches' luminous performance.

The new BR-03 Diver Lum Outline thus brings fresh advantages for exploring the depths.

Bell & Ross – BR 03 ASTRO Black Ceramic Edition

 

Bell & RossPROFESSIONAL BR 03 AUTO ASTRO Black Ceramic 41mm Edition 2025

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Bell & Ross reaches new heights with its latest BR-03 Astro, a watch evocative of the cosmic universe. By placing Earth at its center, surrounded by the Moon and Mars, Bell & Ross pays homage to the blue planet and offers a fresh perspective on its watchmaking expertise.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Precision-crafted, a watch can become a window into the vastness of the universe. Through this idea, the Franco-Swiss watchmaker has taken on the challenge of envisioning a planetary system within a 41mm case—scaled down to perfection! Original and unprecedented, its dial showcases the orbits of planets around Earth. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

An interplanetary timepiece dedicated not only to space exploration enthusiasts and astronomy buffs but also to admirers of our blue planet. With this limited edition of 999 pieces, Bell & Ross embraces a more narrative and playful approach to its new BR-03 Astro time instrument.

 Earth Seen from Space: A Captivating and Technical Dial

The Cupola, the observation dome of the International Space Station (ISS), inspired this watch, which acts as a kind of porthole opening onto the planets. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

I imagined Earth seen from space in symbolic alignment with the Moon and Mars. The magic of this watch lies in its display—not as a technical interpretation of an instrument watch but, for once, in an imaginative dimension,” explains Bruno Belamich, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Bell & Ross.

Conceptual in spirit, the BR-03 Astro is also highly technical in execution. For a realistic and faithful representation of Earth, maintaining Bell & Ross’s precision and legibility standards required a decal process beneath the glass. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

The glass of the dial is carved into a spherical cap, allowing Earth to be rendered realistically in both volume and decal. Calculating the weight and positioning of the hands—especially to support the engraved Moon—required the same meticulous approach applied to designing components of any other precision timepiece.

A journey through the solar system, the BR-03 Astro emphasizes the expressive magic of space, with Earth as the central figure in this cosmic scene.

Reimagining Time Display

The mission of the small satellite is simple and precise: to mark the seconds by completing a full orbit around the Earth in 60 seconds. The Moon indicates the minutes, while Mars slowly follows its orbit to display the passing hours. With this captive orbital system, displayed on a blue aventurine dial, the BR-03 Astro offers a reimagined way to read traditional time indicators. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Its "hands" are unconventional: Mars indicates the hours, the Moon the minutes, and the small satellite functions as the seconds hand. Together, they create a constant animation on a dial designed like a natural setting in perspective. Every glance at the time becomes an escape.

Designed for Interstellar Travel

With a technical black exterior reminiscent of space's darkness, the BR-03 Astro asserts itself as a statement of style and individuality. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Measuring 41mm in diameter and 11.5mm in height, its case is entirely crafted from black ceramic. Water-resistant to 100 meters, it features an anti-reflective sapphire glass with a carved spherical cap at its center to showcase Earth in relief.

Powered by the Swiss automatic mechanical movement BR.CAL-327, the watch is both robust and high-performing. Its black rubber strap, secured by a black PVD-coated steel pin buckle, reflects its professional heritage.

This rare watch, limited to 999 pieces, continues Bell & Ross’s legacy of crafting instruments inspired by aviation and exploration.
