The new BR 03-92 DIVER TARA watch is the manifestation of the partnership between Bell & Ross and the Tara Océan Foundation. Bell & Ross has designed a professional quality diver’s watch to meet the needs of the crew on board the oceanography exploration schooner Tara, who carries out the organisation's scientific mission even in extreme conditions. All aboard!

 THE TARA OCEAN FONDATION

The Tara Ocean Foundation — first public interest foundation in France dedicated to the Ocean — has two main missions: exploring the Ocean to better understand it and sharing scientific knowledge about the Ocean to raise public awareness.

For 20 years, the Foundation has been supporting innovative Ocean science, in partnership with world-leading research centres to study marine biodiversity, as well as observing and anticipating the impacts of climate change and pollution. Faced with the urgent need to make the protection of the Ocean a common responsibility, the Foundation raises public awareness of the challenges facing the Ocean, educates young generations, facilitates international cooperation, and mobilises policymakers.

Thanks to its Special Observer Status at the United Nations, the Foundation actively participates in crucial decisions in favour of the Ocean. Studying and protecting the Ocean means taking care of the global health of our planet and our future.

AN INSTRUMENT WATCH THAT BRINGS TEAMS TOGETHER

Bell & Ross has always designed watches that are built for action. In joining forces with the Tara Océan Foundation, the watchmaker is taking concrete action and boards the schooner Tara.

The Diver watch has been adopted by all crew members because of its legibility and efficiency. Regularly confronted with perilous conditions, the crew has to push the limits of the extreme. To cope with the magnitude of their tasks, these experienced scientists and sailors need to be able to count on precise, reliable tools under all circumstances.

The challenge resonate with the Bell & Ross team: the BR 03 DIVER was designed for this very purpose. “For 30 years, the Maison has been equipping extraordinary pilots and divers whose missions and lives itself depend on their instruments and machines. At its core, Bell & Ross is a supplier for explorers and elite units, with each watch designed to meet precise specifications set by the professional world it will enter. That's why we felt it was important to mark this joining of forces and celebrate the first year of our partnership with a new piece, the BR 03 Diver Tara”, explains Carlos-A Rosillo, President and Co-Founder of Bell & Ross. Every model from the new BR 03-92 DIVER TARA takes part in this commitment: for every watch sold, part of the profits will be donated to the Foundation.

 A PROFESSIONAL DIVER'S WATCH

For a perfect symbiosis with the Tara Océan Foundation, Bell & Ross chose to design an instrument watch worthy of the missions undertaken by the scientists on board the schooner Tara. The heart of the Tara Océan Foundation’s mission is very close to that of a Bell & Ross watch.

There’s the same requirement for precision. The new BR 03-92 DIVER TARA watch matches these specifications. There is no room for the superfluous, and functionality is prioritised. Part of the BR 03 DIVER professional diver’s watch collection, this limited edition of 999 pieces is waterproof to a depth of 300 metres.

The model features a 42mm matte blue ceramic case and is equipped with a unidirectional rotating ceramic bezel in blue and orange, graduated to 60 minutes as required by professional divers. This efficient timepiece is powered by the BR-CAL 302 self-winding mechanical movement, displaying the hours, minutes, seconds and date.

To ensure the display’s perfect readability whether on land, on board or while diving, the deep blue metal dial features applique indexes and white graduation, with optimal luminescence in the dark thanks to a Super-LumiNova® coating. The seconds hand features an orange tint, making it immediately identifiable and readable. The flexible and comfortable strap closes with a steel pin buckle with blue PVD coating and is made of blue woven rubber lined with an ultra-resistant technical material.

THE SAME RIGOUR AT SEA AS IN THEAIR

“A key part of our brand’s DNA has always been to equip professionals with tools capable of adjusting to their mission and to push the limits to the extreme, which is why it seemed a natural fit to join forces with the Tara Océan Foundation”, emphasises Carlos-A Rosillo, President and Co-Founder of Bell & Ross. “The watch that started our collaboration with Bell & Ross was the Diver model, designed to be used at sea and even underwater. The Tara teams on board the schooner, and even at the North Pole in the near future, will be required to dive on a regular basis. When you're underwater, time can be vital information”, echoes Romain Troublé, General Director of the Tara
Ocean Foundation.

While the independent watchmaking Maison Bell & Ross has always been closely associated with the aeronautical world, the brand has long capitalised on its creativity to design instrument watches for professionals working in all elements, whether fighter pilots, those in special force units, F1 drivers or extraordinary divers.

Very early on, Bell & Ross contributed to ocean discoveries by equipping several professionals with cutting-edge instruments. Passionate about the marine world, Bell & Ross has created exceptional tools since its beginnings: launched in 1997, the Hydromax is certified to 11,100 metres, pushing the limits of the quest for depth. And working to the same rigorous standards, in 2007, the watchmaking Maison introduced the BR 02: a professional diving watch that’s water-resistant to 1,000 metres, meeting extreme demands.

Finally, in 2017, the BR 03-92 DIVER was created: a diver’s watch with an iconic shape, designed for professionals demanding tools with optimal reliability. Now, through this partnership with the Tara Océan Foundation, marine exploration and scientific research professionals will also wear a Bell & Ross Diver on their wrist.

This maritime partnership completes the two other partnerships to cover the three Bell & Ross universes: the sky with La Patrouille, the land with Alpine and finally the sea with the Fondation Tara Ocean. Bell & Ross equips these extreme professionals in each of these universes demanding excellence and inevitably precision.

For its new instrument watch, Bell & Ross returns to its love for motorcycles and continues with an exploration of dynamic shapes.

Inspired by the avant-garde lines of stealth aircraft, the new BR 03-94 BLACKTRACK chronograph watch is the perfect match for the Blacktrack BF06 motorcycle, created jointly by Sacha Lakic and the watch brand's designers.

DOYOU KNOWSACHALAKIC ?

Some designers are truly gifted. From automotive and industrial design including interiors, architecture, furniture and even bicycles and scooters, for Sacha Lakic, nothing can slow down inspiration. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Lakic expresses his talent across many creative areas: furniture design with the Bubble sofa, an iconic piece from Roche Bobois, street furniture with Stay Concrete, and even designer furniture for dogs and cats for Bogarel, the brand he co-founded. But speed and movement remain at the heart of the designer's work.

The man behind the style of the Venturi exceptional electric vehicles, Sacha Lakic has received several awards for his daring designs. His concepts are behind several extraordinary motorcycles, notably for the French brand Voxan, before branching out and creating his own brand in 2016: Blacktrack.

"The goal is to create functional products full of passion that give their owners pleasure and stir up emotion. Blacktrack creates that rare feeling that emanates from an extraordinary meeting of performance and shape, co|ouk and distinctive design," says Lakic. This approach is manifested directly in his cafe racers and, more recently, in the launch of a range of lifestyle accessories.

BELL& ROSS: PASSION FOR EXCEPTIONAL MOTORCYCLES 

It's no secret that Bell & Ross is intrinsically linked to aeronautics. But fans of the brand are also aware of its forays into the world of motorcycles over the past decade. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

This exciting adventure combining design, technique and performance began in 2011, when Bell & Ross joined forces with Shaw Harley-Davidson to create a unique motorcycle: The Nascafe Racer Bell & Ross. Among its notable features are the special BR 01 Carbon watch inserted in the central console, like an on-board tool.

In 2014, Bell & Ross paid a creative tribute to the golden age of two-wheel speed records with the spectacular B-Rocket. Inspired by the first jet planes designed in the USA, the concept bike was created with engineers from Shaw Harley-Davidson. The B-Rocket directly inspired Bruno Belamich, Creative Director of Bell & Ross, to create two instrument watches: the BR 01 chronograph and its little sistez the BR 03 B-Rocket.

In 2023, the BR 03-94 BLACKTRACK opens a new chapter in this fascinating and daring saga. At the heart of the project is the idea of a motorcycle fairing inspired by the faceting on stealth planes, with a desire to create a machine with flat, angular surfaces.

AN EXCLUSIVE STEALTH WATCHAND CHRONOGRAPH

Once again, the iconic Bell & Ross design is manifested in a surprising way with the new BR 03-94 BLACKTRACK chronograph, featuring a 42mm case in matte black ceramic that is water-resistant to 100 metres. Its appearance is still inspired by the world of aeronautics. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This creative source can also be found in some elements of the design of the Blacktrack BF06 motorcycle, whose faceted angles are a direct reference to the technical design of stealth aircraft. Bikers will notice the motor-inspired black calfskin strap right away, hemmed with a red edge and lined with high-resistance technical material.

The strap closes with a steel pin buckle with black PVD coating, while the quilting on the strap itself is a nod to the motorbike saddle covers and rider's suits.

ACOMMAND POSTFORTHEWRIST

Innovative and iconoclastic, the new BR 03-94 BLACKTRACK dial takes on the appearance of a dashboard. Bell & Ross is known for transferring the precision of cockpit instruments to the wrist; now, for the first time, the counters on this chronograph adopt the very specific design of the dials on motorcycle handlebars.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

The link with motorcycle instrumentation is clear. In the red tone of a gauge, the 30-minute chronograph totaliser is immediately readable. The dial features a subtle detail: the superposition of the off-centre chronograph second hand over the minute hand creates the Blacktrack "B".

  This faceting work is also found on the bezel, which has an octagonal shape when viewed from above. With a subtle contrasting mix of grey and black, feature notable exquisitely on the numbers, all the information is present and readable on a dial that leans into dark tones, complete with an openwork cooling grid.

At the flange and indices, the typography of the numbers is carefully crafted. The indices are treated with Super-LumiNova® , and same applies to the skeletonized hands.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO    To mark the ever-existing connection between Bell & Ross and Motorcycles, the BR 03-94 BLACKTRACK chronograph can be inserted in the centre of the motorcycle console, allowing the instrument watch to be moved from wrist to dashboard: the symbiosis between the two machines is complete.

PERFORMANCEATTHE HEARTOF COLLABORATION

As with all Bell & Ross watches, the BR 03-94 BLACKTRACK does not stop at fine aesthetic execution. Above all, it is an instrument watch designed to be precise, readable, functional, and reliable.

The focus on performance and reliability is at the centre of this collaboration. As such, the design has a fine engine: at the heart of the sporty contemporary timepiece is the BR-CAL.301 self-winding mechanical movement.

A calibre with sophisticated finishes and a 42-hour power reserve, it allows the display of the hours, minutes, seconds and date, as well as chronograph functions.

Bell & Ross – BR 03 GYROCOMPASS Black Ceramic Edition

Bell & Ross – INSTRUMENTS BR 03 GYROCOMPASS Black Ceramic 41mm Edition 2023 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO    

Instrument watch designer, Bell & Ross, adapts the most iconic dial yet of an aeroplane cockpit with the new BR 03 Gyrocompass. A highly evocative timepiece for lovers of aeronautics.
Bell & Ross BR 03 Gyrocompass

 Click, to see the large size. ▶  BIG FOTO   

The fighter plane silhouette in the centre of the black dial leaves no room for doubt. With the new limited-edition BR 03 Gyrocompass, Bell & Ross pays tribute to one of its favourite worlds: aeronautics. The appearance of the watch is faithful to the kind of technical design used for a pilot’s dial at the helm of an aircraft, adopting the graphic codes for what is known to professionals as a course indicator. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶  BIG FOTO   

 Click, to see the large size. ▶  BIG FOTO   

This guiding element on the dashboard is essential: at a single glance, the representation of an aircraft in the sky tells pilots their direction of travel, allowing the position to be realigned on a magnetic compass if necessary. By getting closer to the feeling on board a cockpit, Bell & Ross is staying on course.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶  BIG FOTO    

The BR 03 family is a central pillar in the Bell & Ross collections. Since launching in 2006, the concept has showcased the watchmaking Maison’s full capability: taking the indicators of an aircraft dashboard and reinterpreting them for the wrist. Reinvented this year in new proportions, the iconic rounded square shape of the BR 03 range now comes in a 41mm case. Also available in this new size, the BR 03 Gyrocompass has a black ceramic case just 10.6 mm thick and waterproof to 100 metres. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶  BIG FOTO    

Completing the iconic Flight Instruments collection launched in 2010, the watch’s strong personality demonstrates its full functionality, elegantly transposing an aeronautical navigation tool into a timepiece design. A robust finish inspired by aeronautical equipment, the black rubber strap fastens with a steel pin buckle with black PVD coating, underlining the professional dimension of the limited series watch of 999 pieces.

Increased readability by day and night

The display of the new BR 03 Gyrocompass has been designed to offer perfect practical readability in all circumstances, day, or night. The fighter plane silhouette draws attention. The tip of the plane’s nose aligns with the indices so that the wearer can tell the time with precision. It’s a solution first visited by Bell & Ross in 2013. By externalising the numerical inscriptions on the flange, checking the time becomes a seamless experience. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶  BIG FOTO  

Alongside the hour hand, the large minute hand benefits from a generous white arrow evoking a pointer. Slim and ultra precise, the central second hand creates an interesting kinetic visual effect through its large counterweight that permanently animates the dial, like a plane in flight. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶  BIG FOTO   

Discreet yet efficient, the date is displayed in a round window placed between 4 and 5 o’clock, making it easy to be present when needed, without disrupting the ability to tell the time instantly in the heat of the action.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶  BIG FOTO   

Ensuring its functionality in the dark, the watch features a sophisticated luminescent treatment: the cardinal points and their triangular indices are coated with Super-LumiNova® with a green emission colour, while the time indications are highlighted by an immediately recognisable blue emission.

   Meanwhile, the aircraft silhouette still stands out in a unique yellow tint with green emissions.

 A celebration of mechanical excellence

Beyond the power of the display, the watch pays homage to the complex mechanical design of the aeronautical gyrocompass. For pilots, it’s crucial to know their precise position. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶  BIG FOTO   

For pilots, it is crucial that they are aware of their precise location – for this reason, engineers have developed the Gyrocompass, a visually simple yet technically complex system, with a mechanism that transfers the position of the plane in flight into a vertical graphic representation on the dial. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶  BIG FOTO   

The BR 03 GYROCOMPASS does not feature a gyrocompass, but a watch movement with proven reliability: the BR-CAL.302 self-winding calibre. Beating at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz), it has a 54-hour power reserve. It’s the perfect watch for professional use, whether in flight or on land.
