NEW - Bell & Ross unveils a radar-style BR 03 Red Radar Ceramic to put your wrist on high alert.
Is it a watch or a radar screen? Both, General! Since its beginnings in 1994, Bell & Ross has always been inspired by the military universe, and that of aviation, transforming flight instruments into clear, legible and original timepieces. In 2011, the brand with the ampersand already presented a Red Radar model inspired by real radar screens.
Ten years later, Bell & Ross is doing it again with a new Red Radar, the BR 03-92 Red Radar, which joins its Flight Instruments collection. A watch with a 42 mm ceramic case, in a limited edition of 999, which is also inspired by a radar screen, just to put your wrist on red alert.

An airliner traveling on the large, outermost disc indicates the hours. The fighter plane flying on the small-diameter disc, more in the center of the dial, indicates the minutes.

Finally, a thin central analog hand accompanies them to indicate the seconds. It was enough to think about it! Sense of detail obliges, the race of the airliner is obviously slower than that of the fighter plane: the first completes a turn of the dial in 12 hours, the second in sixty minutes.
