BELL & ROSS Instrument BR02 - 1000 M
[ via Bell & Ross ]
Here is a new professional diving watch designed by Bell & Ross to be extremely readable and water resistant. The BR02 watch is fitted with photoluminescent large hands and indexs to make it easier to read while deep sea diving. The unidirectional inside bezel graduated to 60 mn is marked by photoluminescent indexs and provides great visibility when underwater. The water resistance is 1,000 M and during deep sea diving, its decompression valve balances the pressure inside the case with pressure outside the case. The BR02 Instrument also provides optimum comfort through the ergonomics of the case and the flexibilty of the strap. The case is 44 mm in diameter and is made of a 316L glass bead blasted steel with a vacuum carbon black finish. The crystal is anti-reflective to make sure visibilty is not impaired. This new dive watch from Bell & Ross costs a little over $4800 which seems a little steep considering you can find a Bell & Ross Hydromax for well under three grand.
Comments
Im sure you do realize that the Bell & Ross hydromax is not a mechanical watch.. but a quartz watch filled with oil.. hence the significant price difference. The BR02 pricing is inline with similiar watches if one considers the attention to detail in packaging, and the significant advertising bell & ross is keeping up with.
