Story & heritage
Bell & Ross is a Paris-based French watch company associated with Swiss Made watches for professional users such as pilots and divers; its square BR watches became the house’s best-known design after the BR-01 arrived in 2005.
The BR-03 collection embodies the brand's identity and symbolises its style thanks to its iconic "circle in a square with four screws" motif. Faithful to the codes that underpin its identity, the BR-03 features a slightly smaller format of 41 MM and the 54-hour power reserve provided by the latest-generation BR-CAL.302 calibre.

How to choose & style
Choose BR-03 Black Matte when the square instrument case is the point: it works best as a deliberate, graphic watch with monochrome layers, flight jackets, denim, or technical outerwear rather than as a quiet dress piece.
