THE BELL & ROSS INSTRUMENT WATCH FROM THE COCKPIT TO THE WRIST Because Bell & Ross watches meet the demands of those working under extreme conditions, Bell & Ross has established a reputation among professional users. Today astronauts, fighter pilots, divers, mine-clearing experts and elite police officers use Bell & Ross watches as a tool in their work.
watch designed for professionals asserts its utilitarian and functional purpose by embodying four fundamental principles: legibility, functionality, precision, and reliability. It is 42 mm diameter and adapts to all sizes. By associating a high-tech material with ne craftsmanship, Bell & Ross has created a new instrument with innovative properties. The BR 03 is an icon that pushes the boundaries of resistance over time.
the intrinsic qualities of this remarkable material, which resists scratching, does not fade, and weighs less than other materials. The BR 03 CERAMIC is built around the movement and its steel container protected by a shell, a cover and a ceramic case back. The eight screws visible on the outside of the ceramic case act like a clamp to seal the watch, guaranteeing its complete solidity and water resistance. A genuine tool, the BR 03 responds to the legibility requirements of professional aviators: • The matte black nish of the case found on air- craft instrument panels optimizes reading the dial by preventing re ection • The sober design, black dial, large numerals, shape of the hands and photoluminescent coating allow immediate reading of the time, both during the day and at night. A TIMELESS ICON The BR 03 instrument watch is not exclusively reserved for professional users and has become an iconic watch for numerous collectors. Fitted with a high-quality Swiss movement, this instrument
In their quest to create the ideal utilitarian watch —drawing on their experience in the aeronautical and military elds—engineers, master watchmak- ers, designers and professional aviators pooled their expertise to de ne a novel concept: the instrument watch. Since aeronautical instrumentation is the gold standard in terms of readability, reliability and performance, the BR 03 instrument watch echoes the design principles of a plane’s cockpit clock. A utilitarian watch, perfectly suited for professional use, it is the ideal embodiment of the brand’s philosophy: functionality drives design. A HIGH-TECH CERAMIC CASE Stamping its modern vision on professional watchmaking, Bell & Ross enhanced the BR 03 instrument watch with a high-tech, hard-wearing material: ceramic. In aeronautics, and especially aerospace, ceramics are the material of choice for parts that must withstand extremely high temperatures, exposure to acids, corrosion and erosion. Bell & Ross has reworked the ceramic, developing a speci c manufacturing process which enhances
