Bell & Ross Adds Green to Bronze Diver

Bell & Ross expands its bronze-cased offerings with the new BR 03-92 Diver Black & Green Bronze, the latest model in the watchmaker’s dive collection.
The new Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver Black & Green Bronze.
Boasting a color that might recall recent green-dial additions to the above-ground BR 05 collection, the new watch’s dial appears as a subdued matte green rather than the glossy green of those earlier land-based examples.
Bell & Ross teams the green dial with a bronze case that fits perfectly within this collection’s existing bronze-cased offerings. Last year, the watchmaker launched one new model in bronze, and a year earlier, we saw the debut of two bronze-cased BR 03 Dive models.
Many collectors value bronze cases for their ability to display the results of oxidation, a process that creates an individualized brownish, reddish, or green patina pattern on each watch. Bronze is also an alloy of choice for sailing boat fittings. As Bell & Ross notes, “Bronze gives watches extra soul and puts the wearer in touch with nature.”
As with all Bell & Ross dive watches, the new BR 03-92 Diver Black & Green Bronze is built to meet the international standard ISO-6425. This standard states that a “diving watch” must withstand immersion in water to a depth of at least 100 meters and have an obvious time control system, among many other dive-ready specs.
Bell & Ross employs its automatic BR-CAL.302 movement (based on Sellita SW300-1) that beats at 28,800 vibrations/hour and guarantees a 54-hour power reserve.
Protecting the movement, the solid steel case back has been engraved with an image of a vintage bronze diver’s helmet. Bell & Ross attached the case to a black rubber strap made of ‘ultra-resilient’ black synthetic fabric.
Price: $4,900 (limited edition of 999 pieces).
