Bell & Ross has dropped the limited edition BR 03-92 Diver Brown Bronze.
Bell & Ross has released a new diver watch that’s finished in bronze in the familiar BR01 rounded square case. This is a nice alternative to the military-themed diver that they released earlier last year. This case has now been enhanced to feature waterproofing to ISO 6425 international standards. This makes it suitable to thermal shocks, blows and salt water.
The bronze finishing goes great with the brown face of the watch and the material will patina beautifully with age. Bronze is also historically significant in maritime design, with portholes, propellers, sextants and more using this material in the past.
Here’s the press release and specifications with more.

PRESS RELEASE
The new BR 03-92 DIVER BROWN BRONZE is a true underwater tool, responding to the exact specifications of the Swiss diving watch. It is resistant to blows, thermal shocks and salt water, and complies with the international standard ISO 6425.
Its copper hue case goes perfectly with the warm colour of the dial and bezel, bronze proving itself a harmonious match for brown. The back is stamped with a diver’s helmet, a historical symbol of scuba diving. The watch comes with two straps. The matt brown leather strap with beige topstitching has a strong neo-retro feel that reinforces the BR 03-92 DIVER BROWN BRONZE vintage, authentic spirit.
A second black braided rubber strap is also available, which is more suitable for underwater use. The BR 03-92 DIVER BROWN BRONZE is at once subtly retro and decidedly modern. It combines tradition and modernity, vintage and contemporary. It accompanies the elegantly dressed to dinner just as well as it does swimmers beneath the ocean waves.
