Bell & Ross BR 03-92 DIVER FULL LUM01 August 2020
Bell & Ross is introducing a new diver’s watch; the BR 03-92 DIVER FULL LUM. The timepiece inverts the normal principles of day to night legibility. Therefore, the entire dial has a full coating of green Superluminova. Additionally, the watch meets the specifications of a diver’s tool watch, according to the international standard ISO 6425. Bell & Ross’ latest creation is a limited edition of 999 pieces.Firstly, the BR 03-92 DIVER FULL LUM uses a number of less-than-traditional materials. For example, it comes in a flight-inspired 42 mm x 42 mm matt black ceramic case, with the model’s recognisable four exposed screws. The shock-resistant case matches the watch’s brand new unidirectional rotating ceramic bezel. The bezel is equipped with a graduated 60-minute scale. Furthermore, the case has a screw-down crown, a closed caseback and a protective sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. It is water-resistant to 300 m.Secondly, the metal dial has a covering of long-lasting, bright green Super-LumiNova C5 pigments for high legibility in darkness. This contrasts with the black-outlined hands and hour markers. By contrast, the metal applique indices and the bezel's numerals use green Superluminova C3. This particular phosphorescentpigment is known for its intense colour. The Super-LumiNova coated timepiece has an entirely different aesthetic according to whether it is light or dark. The dial displays hours, minutes, seconds, as well as a subtle date window between 4 and 5 o’clock. Thirdly, the automatic BR-CAL.302 calibre powers the BR 03-92 DIVER FULL LUM. The movement uses the Sellita SW300-1 as its base and has 28 jewels. Moreover, it has a 38-hour power reserve and a frequency of 4 Hz. Finally, the diver’s watch is a limited edition of 999 pieces and, as mentioned, is water-resistant to 300 metres. It comes with a woven black rubber strap with a black PVD-coated steel buckle, or an ultra-resilient black synthetic fabric strap. The BR 03-92 DIVER FULL LUM costs 4,400 euros and is available from Bell & Ross’ E-Shop...................
