Bell & Ross is constant to fill out their up to date BR 03 assortment with new references to accommodate the subtly smaller case they launched final yr. Brad Houses went hands-on with the brand new, extra refined case proper right here, and located the variations to be small, however an general enchancment. It’s necessary to not underestimate both the scope of the change for Bell & Ross or the potential impression small changes can have on a watch case, notably while you’re coping with a sq. design just like the BR 03. Bell & Ross followers (I’m elevating my hand right here) have sturdy emotions about their iconic sq. case designs, so any small adjustment goes to be met with the type of intense critique that may solely come from an fanatic group. It appears, although, that the updates have been effectively obtained, and the newest addition, the BR 03 White Metal & Gold, brings a really totally different taste to conventional instrument watch design.
The acknowledged objective of the White Metal & Gold reference is to convey a extra refined look to the BR 03 line, one that’s, in Bell & Ross phrases, “each city and chic.” Whereas we nonetheless have the obscure define of an aviation impressed instrument watch, the main points come from a completely totally different place. The bezel is rendered in rose gold, and the crisp opaline dial has matching gold tone accents. Whereas the gold is probably going the design attribute that may draw most to the watch initially, the dial seems to have a really fantastic texture and character to it that might effectively be the true spotlight.
