"Bell & Ross has a deep-rooted fascination for distinct square case watches designed for aviators. These are inspired by aircraft instrument panels and have been highly regarded in the BR 01 and, of course, the BR 03 models. Now, the French-Swiss watchmaker is growing its commitment to the design legacy with the launch of two new watches: the BR-X3 Black Titanium and Blue Steel."
"BR-X3 Black Titanium, as the name would suggest, features a microblasted titanium case. The case is paired with a matte black dial, which complements the similarly colored sandwich construction that resides between two plates forming the case. The BR-X3 Blue Steel, on the other hand, comprises a stainless steel case housing with a blue dial that has a polished finish and a sunburst flair."
"Both the variants feature a 41mm case, which is ideal for the square cases that generally wear large. Coming back to the sandwiched construction, the watches have two main plates; one forming the top casing, while the other forms part of the caseback. Between the two plates - held together firmly by four screws each - is the watch-color complementing layer, which adds style and depth to the otherwise straightforward design."
Bell & Ross expands its square aviator-inspired case lineage with two BR-X3 variants: Black Titanium and Blue Steel. The Black Titanium uses a microblasted titanium case paired with a matte black dial and matching sandwich construction. The Blue Steel uses a stainless steel case with a polished, sunburst-finish blue dial. Both models have 41mm cases and a sandwiched two-plate construction with a colored layer between the plates, secured by four screws. Dials remain straightforward, offering an analog power reserve at 9 o'clock and an altimeter-like date counter at 3 o'clock, alongside standard hour, minute and second hands.
