A Special Japan-Limited Model of 99 Pieces

The "BR 03-92 Diver Burgundy Bronze" is a diver's watch that presents a beautiful contrast between its red dial, inspired by the iconic Japanese flag, and its bronze case. The square case, designed by Bell & Ross with inspiration drawn from aircraft cockpit instruments, offers a captivating fusion of the aviation and marine worlds.

Meeting the stringent standards for a diver's watch, the deep burgundy hue of the dial, combined with the white Super-LumiNova® injected into the gold-plated applied indices, ensures perfect legibility day or night. Red signifies strength and passion, while the round dial echoes the red circle representing the sun on the national flag. Meanwhile, the white used for the indices signifies purity and truth, as well as symbolizing peace.
The case is crafted from bronze, a material once used for divers' helmets. Composed of 92% copper and 8% tin (CuSn8), its three-dimensional quality is further enhanced by satin and polished finishes. Bronze is characterized by its ability to develop a patina over time, transforming into a unique, one-of-a-kind item as the years pass. The watch's historical roots in marine exploration and its spirit of adventure are also expressed through the motif of a 1940s diving helmet depicted on the case back.
The strap is a matte brown leather with beige stitching, though it can also be swapped for the included black rubber strap.
