Bell & Ross BR 03-93 GMT Blue automatic blue dial leather strap 42 mm

BR 03-93 collection: a unique design

Known for its aviation-inspired aesthetic and sense of aeronautical design, Bell & Ross manufactures its watches in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, ensuring impeccable quality. The BR 03-93 collection replicates the specifications required by the Air Force, with unique square cases in black ceramic or stainless steel that reference cockpit instruments. The BR 03-93 watches feature an automatic mechanical movement, a dial with applied metal indexes and numerals, and a non-reflective sapphire crystal. Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, a GMT hand as well as a convenient date display, all with a photoluminescent coating for optimal visibility.

BR 03-93 GMT Blue: A sublime blue dial

Bell & Ross is best known for its ingenious square pilot's watches, which feature the closest approximation to an aircraft cockpit instrument. This distinctive design was a real breakthrough for the design-focused brand. The BR-03-93 BLUE takes the essential design of the BR and gives it a slightly dressier face with its beautiful blue color.

Utilizing the brand's distinctive typography with enlarged hour markers along the outer dial, the BR-03-93 BLUE is minimalist and incredibly legible. Add to that the oversized luminescent hands, an ultra-legible red GMT hand on the sunray blue dial, and you have a remarkably compelling mix of elegance and utility. The proportions of the dial are perfectly considered, creating an unparalleled graphic balance that draws the eye directly to the relevant information with ease. We particularly like the way the French brand integrates the date window at 4:30. Round, color-matched, it is meant to be discreet.

A muscular case

With its 42 mm diameter, this BR 03-93 BLUE is not afraid to show off! But its relatively low profile allows it to be worn comfortably by a wide range of people. Made of brushed steel with polished bevels, the case just begs to be admired!

Added to this is an intriguing three-part sandwich construction: The center case is secured by exposed screws, screwed in from above. By exposing these screws, Bell & Ross has captured the spirit of a cockpit instrument without succumbing to superfluity. The same thing happens on the back, where four additional screws are screwed into the corners to secure the case back. The angular and articulated lugs complete this muscular look!

An automatic caliber

This watch is powered by the BR-CAL-303 caliber, built from the Swiss Sellita movement. This caliber is a genuine one, beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and offering 40 hours of power reserve.
