With this watch, Bell & Ross recreates the graphic style of these navigation tools as closely as possible, offering an alternative to the traditional approach of telling the time.

PIONEERING DISPLAY & AERONAUTICAL INSTRUMENTATION
True to its philosophy, Bell & Ross introduces the BR 03-92 BI-COMPASS, a new version inspired by the analog instrumentation of aircraft cockpits, where each instrument is a reference in terms of precision, legibility, reliability and performance. With this watch, the brand recreates the graphic style of these navigation tools as closely as possible, offering an alternative to the traditional approach of telling the time.

DESIGN THAT ENHANCES LEGIBILITY
The simplicity of the BR 03-92 BI-COMPASS’ design encases the complexity of its inner workings. Built on a two-tier basis, the dial divides its main center part with the outer part, where the minute track is featured through a small “step” equipped with a minute-circle. To enhance legibility, the hour and minute graduations have been separated to promote the minutes on the main dial –as in original instruments– while the hours are displayed in the center. The hour reading is indicated by a green triangle marker that appears in the center through an independent concentric disc, which is not graduated.

TWO COLORS SERVING UTILITY
The Munsell green hue indicates the hours and is covered in a photoluminescent coating (Superluminova®) that contrasts with the black of the dial, ensuring they can be easily read both during the day and at night. The “coquille d’oeuf” hands and numerals on the dial unveil the minutes and seconds and echoes the legibility principles of professional aeronautical instruments. This color scheme was commonly used on instruments, specifically on US Navy aircrafts.
