Bell & Ross surprises again with the limited edition Bell & Ross BR-03 Diver Lum Outline – a diver’s watch that creates a three-dimensional light effect with neon green outlines on the hands and indexes. With a square black ceramic case, water resistance to 300 meters and an automatic movement with a 54-hour power reserve, this watch combines technical perfection and aesthetic boldness.
In the world of diving watches, where round cases and an abundance of luminescence dominate, Bell & Ross is setting new rules with its new BR-03 Diver Lum Outline. Instead of fully illuminated dials, they opt for a minimalist approach – only the edges of the hands and indices are coated with Super-LumiNova® X2, creating the effect of floating neon contours above the matte black dial.
Design and materials: Square elegance in black ceramic
The watch case measures 42 x 42 mm and is made of micro-sandblasted black ceramic material, which provides resistance to scratches and corrosion. The case thickness is 11.2 mm, which makes it comfortable to wear even under a diving suit. The unidirectional bezel with a 60-minute scale is also made of black ceramic and has markings filled with Super-LumiNova® for better visibility in the dark.
Dial: Minimalism with maximum impact
The dial is coated with a matte black lacquer that reduces reflections and increases contrast with the luminescent elements. The “baignoire”-shaped indexes are applied and have only the edges coated with Super-LumiNova® X2, creating a three-dimensional luminous effect. The hands are skeletonized and also edged with luminescent material, while the seconds hand has a luminous tip for easier monitoring of the watch’s operation.
Mechanism: Reliability under pressure
Inside the watch ticks the BR-CAL.302-1 automatic movement, based on the Sellita SW300-1. It offers a 54-hour power reserve and operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Functions include hours, minutes, seconds and a date display discreetly placed between 4 and 5 o'clock. Straps: Flexibility for everyday wear
The BR-03 Diver Lum Outline comes with two straps: a black rubber strap for diving and a black synthetic textile strap for everyday use. Both straps fasten with a black PVD-coated steel buckle, which complements the watch's tactical look.
