Enhanced Legibility Through a Two-Layered Dial and Distinct Color Scheme

The BR 03-92 Bi-Compass, unveiled by Bell & Ross as a pre-Baselworld 2019 model, draws inspiration from the brand's signature aviation instruments. It features a novel time display with a two-layered dial and a highly practical color scheme.
The outer dial presents off-white indices, while the inner dial features blue-green indices and a triangular hour marker, clearly distinguishing between minute and hour indications. A subtle demarcation between the two discs further enhances comfortable readability.
Left: Hour display in green, minute and second display in yellow. Color-coding makes elapsed time even easier to grasp. Right: The compass aviation instrument that inspired the design.
The case and dial are crafted from matte, anti-reflective ceramic, inspired by aviation instruments. The indices and hour markers are coated with luminescent paint, ensuring clear time reading even in low light. The distinct color scheme and the stepped dial not only provide superior legibility but also contribute to a refined aesthetic. This new BR03-92 Bi-Compass is poised to delight both aviation enthusiasts and watch collectors alike.
