Bell & Ross Unveils the Refined BR 03 White Steel & Gold
A Classic Reimagined: The BR 03 White Steel & Gold
First introduced in 2006 and redesigned in 2023, the BR 03 self-winding timepiece has solidified its position as a flagship model for Bell & Ross. In 2024, the brand takes sophistication to new heights with the unveiling of the BR 03 White Steel & Gold.
A Blend of Elegance and Urban Appeal
The BR 03 White Steel & Gold takes the House instrument collection into the realm of sophistication, proving that a professional timepiece can be both elegant and urban. This new model features a striking combination of durable steel and 18-carat rose gold, materials that symbolize wealth and rarity. The marriage of gold’s warm tones with steel’s technical sheen, a popular trend from the 1970s, creates a sporty yet refined aesthetic. This blend has become a fashion statement for those seeking originality and distinction.
Sophistication of the Opaline Dial
The dial of the BR 03 White Steel & Gold stands out with its opaline finish, embodying a sunny temperament that is both bright and airy. Achieving the milky white effect of opal requires meticulous craftsmanship. The process involves texturing a layer of matte silver on a polished dial through electrolysis. Using Levant stone and cream of tartar, the dial-makers create a unique texture that plays with light to produce iridescent reflections. This opaline white dial accentuates the neo-classical refinement of the timepiece.
Optimal Readability Meets Urban Sophistication
Maintaining its character as an instrument watch, the BR 03 White Steel & Gold ensures optimal readability. The opaline white dial provides a clear backdrop for the precise markings of hours, minutes, seconds, and date. The appliqué indexes and numerals are gilded with rose gold and filled with beige Super-LumiNova®. The skeletonized hour and minute hands, crafted from 18-carat rose gold, are also coated with beige Super-LumiNova® for visibility in the dark. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the dial, ensuring complete visibility akin to a fighter aircraft’s cockpit canopy.
Iconic Design and High-Performance Movement
The BR 03 embodies the essence of Bell & Ross with its iconic design and pure graphic power. The 41mm case features the legendary “circle within a square, held by four screws” design. This latest version retains its complex sandwich construction while introducing a unique combination of materials. The timepiece is water-resistant up to 100 meters. Powering the watch is the reliable Calibre BR-CAL.302-1 self-winding mechanical movement, boasting a 54-hour power reserve that ensures both accuracy and ease of use.
A Distinctive Addition to the BR 03 Range
With its opaline white dial and brown leather strap with white top-stitching, the BR 03 White Steel & Gold stands out by combining four colors with three materials. This new model also fills a niche in the BR 03 range, offering an intermediate price point between the steel and gold references.
