Aviation has always been at the heart of the Bell & Ross ethos. From its earliest pilot watches, the brand has always had its sights on flight, and the cockpit-themed Bell & Ross BR 03 collection epitomizes this inspiration. For the latest iteration of the collection, Bell & Ross has incorporated one of the core components of modern fighter jets, the Head-Up Display (HUD), into the aggressive, modern limited edition Bell & Ross Aviation BR 03-92 HUD. Drawing on the spirit of its predecessor, the Bell & Ross Aviation BR 03-92, this watch combines exciting new colors and exquisite craftsmanship to create a feeling of being in the cockpit of an F-22 Raptor fighter.
Black Ceramic Case:
The case of the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 HUD should be familiar to brand enthusiasts, as the 42mm black ceramic square case remains unchanged at the heart of the Bell & Ross Aviation BR 03-92 Replica Collection. The large cockpit instrument shape and the four distinctive screws at the four corners perfectly match the overall modern military theme of the watch and become an instantly recognizable element of Bell & Ross.
With 100-meter water resistance, this watch also has the functionality of a regular sports watch. However, what really makes this Bell & Ross BR 03-92 HUD replica stand out from its peers is its unique azure dial. While other watches have used dyed crystals before, such as the famous green Rolex Milgauss replica, this replica’s dyeing is more vivid and intense than most.
Matte Black Dial
Giving the dial the green sheen of a modern aircraft HUD, it transforms the analog dial display into a convincing digital projection. In addition, the four corners of the aiming reticle are printed with green luminous, starting from the bottom of the dial, and this replica dial is almost identical to other products in Bell & Ross’s product line.
Like the case, the dial of the BR 03-92 HUD will also be familiar to Bell & Ross loyalists. The same dial layout, with large Arabic numerals, a wide outer minute track, and a printed central disc (instead of an hour hand), appears in nearly identical form in the 2019 BR 03-92 Bi-Compass.
BR-CAL.302 Automatic Movement
What makes the BR 03-92 HUD feel distinctly different, however, is the use of color. Since green already casts a dull green hue over the matte black dial from the outset, the monochromatic neon green in the dial elements makes the hands and hour markers look like predictive computer elements on a glass screen rather than physical elements. Bell & Ross uses the BR-CAL.302 Automatic Movement
to power the BR 03-92 HUD. This Sellita-based powerplant is used slightly differently than in most applications to support a central hour disc rather than a traditional hour hand, but otherwise it is identical to other models in the Bell & Ross Aviation BR 03-92 Replica collection. Conclusion This movement offers a 38-hour power reserve and a vibration frequency of 28,800 bph. The Bell & Ross BR 03-92 HUD Replica comes with two separate straps. The first is probably the ubiquitous black Bell & Ross signature rubber strap, which blends in perfectly with the short lugs for a semi-integrated look.
For those seeking a more daring style, the Bell & Ross replica watch also comes with a black velcro synthetic fiber strap. Inspired by the cockpit of a modern fighter jet, this durable fabric seemed the perfect choice as an accessory to a flight suit.
