High-tech Dive Watch by Bell & Ross Illuminates Without Traditional Lume, Creating an Illusion of Floating Light above the Dial
Bell & Ross's BR-03 Diver Lum Outline redefines luminescence in dive watches, utilizing a distinctive approach that outlines the indices and hands with Super-LumiNova X2. This innovative technique produces a captivating "neon outline" effect that improves visibility and gives a modern, graphic aesthetic not commonly found in traditional dive watches.
The strategic application of Super-LumiNova X2 creates an eye-catching three-dimensional display, enhancing legibility underwater and in low-light conditions. The watch features a matte black dial and bezel, paired with a microblasted black ceramic case, creating a stealthy backdrop that highlights the glowing outlines. The durable ceramic bezel also features minute markers filled with Super-LumiNova for optimal visibility.
The BR-03 Diver line, launched by Bell & Ross in 2017, transformed the brand's classic square case into a pressure-resistant underwater tool. Despite its cockpit-inspired origins, the divers have gained a solid reputation over the past decade. In 1997, Bell & Ross set a benchmark with the Hydromax quartz diver, boasting an impressive 11,100-meter water resistance thanks to its innovative oil-filled case technology, a record that remains uncontested today.
The BR-03 Diver Lum Outline is limited to 500 pieces and powered by the BR-CAL.302-1 automatic movement. It offers water resistance of 300 meters (ISO 6425 certified) and a power reserve of 54 hours. Two strap options are included: a black rubber band for underwater excursions and a rugged synthetic fabric strap for everyday wear.
The Bell & Ross BR-03 Diver Lum Outline continues to push boundaries, combining form and function to create a visually striking and highly legible dive watch that seamlessly blends wearability and durability. Available now for $5,400, this limited-edition timepiece offers a unique take on traditional dive watch design, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional underwater performance.
The distinctive application of Super-LumiNova X2 not only boosts visibility underwater and in low-light conditions but also introduces a modern, graphic style to the watch's design, setting it apart from traditional dive watches. This limited edition BR-03 Diver Lum Outline, equipped with gadgets like a ceramic bezel and Super-LumiNova filled minute markers, showcases Bell & Ross's pioneering approach in technology and watchmaking.
