Share
Bell & Ross’ new BR 03 model perfectly blends subtle and boisterous
Launched in 2006 and redesigned in 2023, the BR 03 self-winding timepiece by Bell & Ross has become a flagship model. To mark 2024, Bell & Ross introduces the BR 03 White Steel & Gold, a sophisticated blend of urban elegance and professional precision.
Sporty And Refined
This new model features a 41mm case combining the strength of steel with the luxury of 18-carat rose gold, a striking aesthetic that originated in the 1970s. This combination, popular for its sporty yet refined look, appeals to those seeking originality and distinction.
The BR 03 White Steel & Gold showcases a bright and airy opaline dial. The dial’s milky white effect is achieved through meticulous craftsmanship, involving a layer of matte silver on a polished surface, shaped with Levant stone and cream of tartar to create iridescent reflections.
Great Legibility
This neo-classical dial is complemented by rose gold appliqué indexes and numerals, filled with beige Super-LumiNova for enhanced readability in low light. The skeletonised hour and minute hands, also crafted from 18-carat rose gold and coated with Super-LumiNova, ensure visibility in the dark, all protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal.
True to its roots as an instrument watch, the BR 03 White Steel & Gold maintains Bell & Ross’ commitment to functionality. The clear opaline white dial provides a precise backdrop for the essential markings, hours, minutes, seconds, and date.
What’s A Shape Anyway?
The 41mm case retains Bell & Ross’ iconic “circle within a square” design, held by four screws, and combines sophisticated aesthetics with a durable sandwich construction. Water-resistant up to 100 metres, this timepiece is powered by the reliable Calibre BR-CAL.302-1 self-winding mechanical movement, boasting a 54-hour power reserve.
With an opaline white dial and a brown leather strap with white top-stitching, the BR 03 White Steel & Gold stands out by playing on four colours and three materials. This model offers an intermediate price point, completing the BR 03 range and making luxury more accessible.
The BR 03 White Steel & Gold typifies Bell & Ross’ style, combining pure graphic power with innovative materials and craftsmanship, offering both sophistication and practicality for the modern wearer.
