With its new BR 03 DIVER divers, Bell & Ross is raising the standards of performance and legibility, offering divers an unparalleled underwater experience

BELL & ROSS, CONQUERING THE ABYSS SINCE 1997

The Hydromax from Bell & Ross defined a new standard in diver's watches. Launched in 1997, it established a world record for water tightness, with perfect resistance to a depth of 11,100 meters. This feat was made possible thanks to a major technical innovation: the case was filled with a patented, transparent, fluorinated oil.

Ten years later, in 2007, a second diver's watch appeared in the Bell & Ross collection; the BR 02 series offered an instrument watch specifically designed for the underwater world.

This series of watches is recognizable by its barrel-shaped case. On the technical front, they feature a helium decompression valve and an ultra-resistant curved sapphire face: essential features for saturation diving.

With the arrival of the BR 03-92 Diver into the core of our professional instrument watch series in 2017, the company translated the features of the instrument panel in fighter aircraft into watch-making technology. Contained in a case combining "a circle within a square" Bell & Ross took a new, daring stance: diving watches do not have to be round.

Since 2018 Bell & Ross have added a new, noteworthy feature to the model by sculpting the 42 x 42 mm square case in bronze, the iconic material of the marine world. Recognized since ancient times for its unique robustness, this alloy has enthralled watch and clock collectors and enthusiasts, captivating them with its distinctive color and its tendency for patination.

MAKING SMALL ADJUSTMENTS MAKES A GREAT DIFFERENCE

Is it not said that we reach the age of reason at the age of seven?

For the BR 03 Diver, which celebrates its seventh birthday in 2024, this juncture marks the maturity which comes with experience. Adopted both by professional mariners and by those who love the nautical world, the BR 03 Diver series became a stylistic milestone for diver's watches.

With three new features for the core model in steel, as well as a new model in matt black ceramics and a new Full Lum version, the upgrades for the BR 03 Diver range are a natural, logical development for these models.

Understated, but far-reaching, these technical and design developments are justified, and not merely tinkering with the aesthetics.

BR 03 DIVER: A SET OF CERTIFICATED DIVER'S WATCHES

All the instrument watches in the Bell & Ross BR 03 series are designed as quality tools for professional divers. "Providing professionals with the quality of tools needed for their tasks, and pushing boundaries to their furthest extent has always been part of our brand's DNA," affirms Carlos Rosillo,

President and co-founder of Bell & Ross. To respond to the legitimate expectations of regulars in the aquatic environment, the new BR 03 DIVER watches comply with the international ISO 6425 standard, which states, "a watch must stand submersion in water to a depth of at least 100 meters and must have a time monitoring system." Underwater, watch markings must remain visible from 25 cm in the dark.

Moreover, the watch must be operationally tested underwater, at a depth of 30 cm (+/- 2 cm) for 50 hours, at temperatures between 18°C and 25°C. At the end of this period, the mechanisms must still function correctly.

Watches are also tested to prove that they are not sensitive to thermal shock, that they resist overpressure in water, and that condensation does not form under certain conditions. The strength of the winding crown is also tested.

Perfectly compliant with each of these demanding product specifications, fitted with BR-CAL.302-1 automatic winding, beating at a frequency of 28,800 alternations per hour (4 Hz), and a guaranteed 54-hour power reserve, all the new BR 03 DIVER watches are water-tight to 300 meters.

FROM THE HEIGHTS TO THE DEPTHS, 
INSTRUMENTS FOR PROFESSIONALS

Designing instrument watches, reinterpreting the dials, counters, and control panels of an aircraft cockpit with our operational rigor is the hallmark of Bell & Ross. The intrinsic link between the independent watch manufacturer and the world of aeronautics is well established. Effective high performance is a mainstay of the aviation industry.

Particularly in relation to the many technical and physical constraints connected with flying at altitude. The exploration of the ocean floor is no less challenging. In both cases, it is the aim of Bell & Ross to support professionals in their environments, to the best of their ability. "For 30 years now, our company has been equipping outstanding pilots and divers, whose tasks and lives depend on their instruments and machines. Bell & Ross is, by definition, the supplier of explorers and elite units, for whom each watch is designed to comply with precise product specifications, according to the environment in which it is intended to be used," explains Carlos Rosillo,

BR 03 DIVER STEEL: THE BENCHMARK

Its design and tried and tested reliability make the Bell & Ross BR 03 Diver Steel indispensable to divers.

Below the surface of the sea, in a world that is inhospitable to human beings, a watch is a tool for survival. Unless time control is perfect, both descending and re-ascending are particularly dangerous. The diver must have absolute confidence in his watch.

The BR 03 Diver Steel collection, with its 42 x 42 mm case in polished, satin-finished steel, is fully compliant. It is available in three options: black, white, and blue.

For each, the unidirectional swing bezel with a graduated 60-minutes scale is now enhanced by a ceramic insert in a color matching the dial.

In another noteworthy upgrade, the hands and the indices have been redesigned for greater readability, and the ultra-resistant rubber or synthetic canvas watch strap has been redesigned for a discreet appearance and comfort.

BR 03 DIVER BLACK MATTE: STEALTH POWER

The matt black ceramics immediately set the tone, evoking the technical features and clean lines of stealth vessels or explorers' equipment.

In 2019 Bell & Ross regularly offered special editions in this compelling material. This year, the BR 03 Diver Black Matte has been discreetly redesigned to provide significant improvements in readability and power.

The two-part construction of the bezel is a distinctive feature of the BR 03 Diver Black Matte. The bezel itself and its insert are both ceramics, the insert benefits from the same improvements to resistance and readability as the models in steel. Enthusiasts will also immediately notice the enlarged type on the graduated scale.

Like the new BR 03 Diver in steel, the new BR 03 Diver Black Matte benefits from the improved design of the hands, the enlarged indices, and the new rubber strap.

BR 03 DIVER FULL LUM: THE ADVANTAGE OF LUMINESCENCE

Thanks to a dial covered entirely in Super-LumiNova®, the FULL LUM readability in the darkness of the deep sea has been significantly improved. This is an essential feature for a diver's watch.

Since its launch in 2020, the Bell & Ross BR 03 Diver Full Lum has made its mark with its powerful aesthetics and radiance. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Its dial is now covered with pale blue Super-LumiNova® (emitting blue light), the indices and the arrow-shaped, skeletonized hour and minute hands are coated in white Super-LumiNova® (emitting green light).

It is worth noting that the new BR 03 Diver Full Lum is no longer a limited edition but is now an integral member of the permanent BR 03 Diver range.

BIANCHET Unveils Hybrid Gold Version of
Grande Date and Sport GMT Tourbillon Watches

Swiss watchmaker Bianchet announces the new Hybrid Gold edition of the Flying Tourbillon Grande Date and Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT. These timepieces feature the unprecedented union of 18-carat gold, high-density carbon, and titanium powder - materials that enhance the physical appeal of these meticulously crafted watches.

Adhering to its commitment to premium and high-tech materials, Bianchet incorporated the preciousness of gold with the durability and lightness of carbon fiber in the design. With the signature Tourbillon, the two hand-finished pieces deliver impeccable accuracy.

The case of the new Hybrid Gold edition features a gold bezel, crown, and case back with a meticulous brushed and polished finish. The rest of the case is constructed from Bianchet’s proprietary carbon composite, the Titanium-Dust-High-Density-Carbon, made of circa 500 compressed layers of carbon fibers infused with titanium powder between every two layers.

The gold crown features a carbon guard for added protection and ergonomic access. Designed for those with an eye for refinement, craftsmanship expertise, and an appreciation for high-tech materials, the Hybrid Gold Grande Date and Sport GMT command attention with the lustrous addition of 18K solid gold.

The first variant, the Flying Tourbillon Grande Date, is a tonneau-shaped watch that won the International Temporis Award for Best Startup Watch.  It solidified the house's design ethos with clean lines and a sophisticated look based on the golden ratio (1.618). I

nside the case is the in-house skeletonized Flying Tourbillon movement, designed, crafted, and assembled by Bianchet in La Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland. The big date complication showcases the calendar's openwork mechanism and intricate pieces, which are hand-decorated to perfection.

The titanium bridges, which follow the curved construction based on the Fibonacci spiral, are embellished with hand-beveled edges. The caliber operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour with a 90-hour power reserve when the barrel is fully wound. The two suspended flanges supporting Superluminova blocks are placed on each side of the dial. Launched at the Geneva Watch Days in August 2023, this timepiece conveys harmony and natural balance with its symmetrically aligned horology complications.

The Flying Tourbillon Sport GMT, released in March 2024, is a testament to Bianchet's versatility and innovation. Its highlight is its dual time GMT function that simultaneously shows two time zones. The 24-hour GMT dial features a rotating Earth dome, a nod to this timepiece's embrace of the globetrotter. With an intuitive crown-function indicator, winding and setting the local or reference time is quick and easy. Like its predecessor, the Sport GMT also holds a 90-hour power reserve, making it a reliable partner for adventurers taking on new territories.

While a modern, sporty look defines the aesthetic of this timepiece, it is still rooted in traditional Swiss watchmaking. The movement and case parts are meticulously finished and assembled by hand, decorations are applied with a paintbrush, and pieces like the hour indicators made of luminescent material are placed by hand, highlighting Bianchet’s attention to detail and commitment to quality.

Both the Hybrid Gold models come with two straps (black and white) made with vulcanized natural rubber. These timepieces are suitable for water activities, with a water resistance of 10 ATM and shock resistance of 5000Gs.
