Exploring Timeless Depths: Bell & Ross Unveils BR-03-92 Diver in Green Bronze

Bell & Ross, renowned for its unconventional square case designs in the realm of divers’ watches, continues to explore the realm of bronze in its latest limited edition release. Since its introduction of the first bronze dive watch in 2018, the brand has intermittently revisited the material, often in exclusive production runs. Now, it introduces the BR-03-92 diver in a captivating emerald green and black colorway.

Bronze, though underutilised in the watchmaking industry, boasts a rich history dating back to 2000 BCE. Composed primarily of copper and renowned for its resilience against the elements, bronze finds its roots in maritime tools and early diving helmets—a fitting heritage for a dive-centric timepiece.

In modern watchmaking, bronze’s allure lies in its ability to develop a unique patina over time, reflecting the wearer’s lifestyle and environment. The oxidation process imbues the watch with brown and green tones, a testament to its journey through time. Moreover, the option to polish the case allows owners to customise its appearance, echoing the luster of gold. Bell & Ross’s BR-03-92 utilises a bronze composition of 92% copper and 8% tin, mirroring the hue of early sailboat fittings.

The BR-03-92 retains the signature 42mm x 42mm “rounded-square” case inspired by fighter plane dashboards, coupled with dive-centric specifications. The unidirectional safety bezel contrasts boldly against the blue-green dial, while boasting a water resistance of up to 300 meters. Powering the timepiece is the BR-CAL.302 automatic mechanical movement, based on the Sellita SW300-1 caliber, boasting a 54-hour power reserve.

Bell & Ross’s commitment to a distinct brand identity shines through its design language, epitomised by the unmistakable circle-in-square case. While the brand’s aesthetic may not appeal to everyone, it exudes confidence and individuality.

The BR-03-92 Diver Black & Green Bronze offers a novel interpretation of bronze in a new colour palette. Its limited edition status, combined with its familiar functionality, underscores its appeal to collectors and enthusiasts alike.

With its blend of sentimentality and practicality, the BR-03-92 speaks to the passage of time and the beauty of embracing its inevitable evolution.
