Rolling In The Deep

On the surface, it may seem that Bell & Ross has just got into the dive watch category but a closer look reveals that still waters sometimes run deep.

As the saying goes: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. In the case of Bell & Ross, its decision to broaden its horizon to encompass more than just watches inspired by the gauges in the cockpit of aircrafts turned out to be a fantastic decision. From the skies, the brand planted its feet firmly on the ground for inspiration and, more recently, took to the seas, offering its first-ever square dive watch.

I have to reinforce the point of first ‘square’ dive watch because, as it turns out, Bell & Ross is no stranger when it comes to making dive watches. In fact, its very first dive watch predates the square BR 01 case by around eight years. In order to fully drive home the fact that dive watches had long been well within Bell & Ross’ portfolio, we were invited to Langkawi recently to witness the launch of its latest BR03-92 Diver Blue and Bronze watches.
