New BR02 colours...
Bell & Ross has made its name as a benchmark in Haute Horlogerie and the exclusive world of professional users with watches that totally respond to requirements of extreme conditions. Indeed, Bell & Ross watches are designed to support professionals who deal with extreme temperatures, violent speed accelerations or to resist dangerous pressure levels. Drawing on their experience in the aeronautical and military industries, master watchmakers, designers and professional users have successfully combined their skills to create a new professional diving instrument. Designed for professionals who require tools with optimum reliability, the BR02 INSTRUMENT collection satisfies two basic principles: readability and water-resistance.
BR 02 INSTRUMENT BLUE - 1000 M
PROFESSIONAL DIVING INSTRUMENT, WATER-RESISTANT TO 1,000 M
- Water-resistance: The case of the BR 02 INSTRUMENT was designed to resist a pressure of 100 bars, equivalent to a depth of 1000m. During deep-sea diving, its decompression valve balances the pressure inside the case with exterior pressure.
- Readability: To satisfy the extreme conditions of deep-sea diving, the BR02 watch is fitted with blue photoluminescent large hands and index to make it easier to read in the deepest and darkest depths. The unidirectional inside bezel graduated to 60mn and marked by a blue photoluminescent index also provides optimum reading when submerged. The BR02 INSTRUMENT BLUE is the ultimate utilitarian watch; perfectly readable in gloomy conditions and guarantees optimum safety throught its measurement diving times. A precision tool, the BR02 BR02 INSTRUMENT BLUE is not just a reliable instrument ready for any professional diving mission, but an ally of every moment.

Designed for professionals who require tools with optimum reliability, the BR 02 INSTRUMENT Chronograph satisfies three basic principles: water-resistance, readability and functionality.
. Water-resistance: The case of the BR 02 Instrument was designed to resist a pressure of 50 bars, equivalent to a depth of 500m. During deep-sea diving, its decompression valve balances the pressure inside the case with exterior pressure.
. Readability: To satisfy the extreme conditions of deep-sea diving, the BR 02 INSTRUMENT watch is fitted with photoluminescent large hands and indexes to make it easier to read in the deepest and darkest depths. The cranted unidirectional inside bezel graduated to 60min and marked by a photoluminescent index also provides optimum reading when submerged.
. Functionality: To calculate short times without compromising the watch’s water-resistance, Bell & Ross watchmakers have added a 2-counter chronograph (60min and 30s) to the BR 02 mechanism.
The BR 02 CHRONOGRAPH is the ideal tool of professional divers. Perfectly readable in gloomy conditions, it guarantees optimum safety throught its measurement diving times. With its decompression valve, its interior unidirectional bezel and now its 2-counter chronograph, this new BR 02 INSTRUMENT is a concentration of high-technology and precision watchmaking.
