Review the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Bi-Compass 42 mm Watch Replica

Recently, Bell & Ross has been exploring new areas and new shapes, but BR01 and BR03 are still the backbone of the series. As part of the 2019 Basel International Watch and Jewellery Show, the Paris-based brand is returning to cool, acclaimed instrument watches with the new Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Bi-Compass 42mm watch replica BR0392-IDC-CE/SRB.

BR 03-92 Bi-Compass

The best thing about the entry-level BR 03-92 replica watches is their no-nonsense aviation styling inspired by analogue aircraft instruments. That’s exactly the new BR 03-92 Bi-Compass replica, which sticks to the usual ultra-legible styling but executed in a novel manner, with colours and geometric forms that inject industrial design into the military-inspired aesthetic.

Rather than paying homage to a specific instrument, the dial of the BR 03-92 Bi-Compass replica is an amalgamation of analogue displays, centred on a rotating hour disc loosely inspired by a vintage radio compass.

While most other replica Bell & Ross BR 03-92 watches rely on just hour numerals at the quarters combined with hashmarks, the Bi-Compass takes it a step further with a new dial construction that separates the hour and minute graduations in both colour and depth.

The Bi-Compass dial is divided into three concentric circles: an outer minute track with beige Super-Luminova markings every five minutes, an inner minute track that slopes downwards towards the hours, and then the hours in pale blue Super-Luminova.

While the minutes are indicated by a conventional hand, hours are indicated by a blue triangle on a rotating hour disc. This separates the minutes from the hours – beige for minutes and seconds, blue for hours, improving readability. Naturally, the Super-Luminova markings glow differently in the dark, the beige of the minutes glow yellow, while the hours are blue.

42mm Case

In the interest of preserving the square shape, all replica Bell & Ross instrument watches maintain short lug-to-lug measurements, relative to their respective case diameters — 46mm for the BR01 line and 42mm for the BR03 line. And while the former might be more classically Bell & Ross, it’s in the latter size that this case really sings. Thanks to its relatively thin bezel, the dial is stretched nearly the full width and breadth across the dial, so it feels like a “large” modern watch despite its compact wrist presence. And for being such a thin case, the BR03 maintains 100 meters of water resistance while nailing another detail usually left to the wayside in minimalist tool watches: depth and texture.

Starting at the edge of the bezel where the domed crystal meets the case, there’s a very short and steep rehaut that dives into the actual chapter ring, upon which the 10-minute markers are rendered in beige-colored print. The angled edge of this chapter ring is marked with single minute hashes as it slopes further inward towards the dial’s center, which is essentially the lowest of the three “floors” of the case. 

Calibre BR-CAL.302 Movement

Inside the case is the Calibre BR-CAL.302 (based on a Sellita SW 300-1) with hours, minutes, seconds and date indication. This tried-and-tested automatic movement will do the job perfectly offering sufficient precision for everyday use.
