The case is PVD treated steel Beige Dial Bell & Ross BR03-92 Desert Type Replica Watch, which is a little bit of an odd choice. Largely this is down to the more reserved dial. The black numerals, indices and hands melt (all still luminous by the way) into the sandy tones of the dial – with only the relatively small details of the dial screws and red ‘Ltd’ badge standing out. And talking of camouflage – the date window is super subtle, just as we’ve come to expect from Bell & Ross.
The Bell & Ross BR03-92 Desert Type Replica Watch, with its army-man green dial and nylon strap that looks like it should have a few armour-piercing rounds threaded through it certainly looks the military part. Think Arnie in Commando.
The strap also tones this Bell & Ross BR03-92 Replica Watch down. Black canvas is an option, but I saw it on the distressed calf and this strap is the perfect choice for the watch, slightly worn around the edges, but not worn out. The Bell & Ross BR03-92 Desert Type is the companion piece to the Ceramic Military Type that we told you about earlier this year. Both are cut from the same cloth, but wear completely differently.
The Bell & Ross Replica Watch is a boutique only edition, limited to 250 pieces – and I would have expected to see a cutting edge ceramic case on this model, especially as the regular, unlimited Military Type is ceramic. The strap also tones this watch down. Black canvas is an option, but I saw it on the distressed calf and this strap is the perfect choice for the watch, slightly worn around the edges, but not worn out. It’s not a big deal but for me it’s the only off note on a watch that is otherwise a sure-fire hit.
