Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Red Radar Ceramic
Price: $4,300, Case Size: 42mm, Water Resistance: 100m, Movement: Sellita-based automatic BR-CAL.302, Crystal: Sapphire

Bell & Ross staked its spot on the watchmaking landscape with the launch of the BR 01, whose high-contrast, cockpit-clock dial design and austere square case proved both iconic and trend-setting. Spinning off from the BR 01 were the even more unconventional Flight Instrument editions, which took their visual cues from other aviation dashboard devices beyond clocks. The most recent and most eye-catching is the BR 03-92 Red Radar Ceramic, whose dial reproduces the scanning motion of a light beam on an onboard radar screen. Two ultra-light, concentric disks, in place of traditional hour and minute hands, rotate under a red-tinted sapphire crystal, hosting two miniature screen-printed planes — a passenger plane on the outer disk for the hours, a fighter plane on the central disk for the minutes, while a red-painted central analog hand sweeps over both disks to follow the seconds and complete the realistic approximation of a radar screen. Inside the matte-black ceramic case is the automatic BR-CAL.302, based on the tried-and-tested Sellita SW300 and offering a 38-hour power reserve.

I like that look and it's not at all anything that I would wear.

I like the skull wartche more. I could use a little skull right about now, in fact.

It's a novelty watch but it's done well and I really like it! If it had one less zero in the price I might even buy one.

As a pilot I am offended by the cheesiness of the design. Take a zero off the the price and put Invicter on the dial. Oh and make it like 55 mms or so.

Dunno, seems like a fail for B&R.

Nope

Awful - another in a long line of awful designs. The next thing B&R produces should be a new design team.
