Some people say that a leopard can't change its spots, and you know what? Some people are wrong, as the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver clearly proves.The French watch brand earned their stripes with an impressive array of aviation watches, centred on the square, cockpit-inspired BR 03 case. Well, it turns out that this large, striking design works just as well at depth as it does at altitude. The BR 03-92 Diver is a remarkably smart underwater repurposing of the brand's famous form. But really, not too much had to be changed. A bezel was added, as was a screw-down crown. The trademark Arabic numerals were replaced with simpler (and heavily lumed) hour markers. It's clever design something B&R excels at? and I think this new diver will have an important role in the collection going forward. I can't wait to see what versions will be coming down the pipeline in a few months' time.Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver Australian pricingBell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver, $5400.
