Bell & Ross Unwraps A Star Struck Wonder: Limited-Edition BR-03 Astro Watch

Published: 19 Feb 2025
Bell & Ross, revered for aviation-inspired utility watches, adds a celestial twist to its catalogue with the release of the BR-03 Astro Watch.

Well-known for its aviator-friendly utilitarian watches, Bell & Ross has embarked upon a celestial journey with its latest release in 2025. The brand steps away from its characteristic cockpit instrument style to embrace a more esoteric and artistic approach, evident in the presentation of the eagerly-anticipated limited-edition BR-03 Astro Watch.

Retaining the time-tested, instrument-inspired case design that has come to define the brand, the BR-03 Astro Watch sports a striking matte black ceramic rendering. What sets this watch apart is its spaced-out mystery dial, a mini-planetarium, with time displayed via tiny celestial orbs circling an Earth-centre. This noteworthy cosmic transition is a testament to the brand’s affirmation towards audaciously artistic creations, each one distinct from its catalogue’s counterparts.

Despite its dramatized depiction of spatial orbits, the BR-03 Astro maintains its functional roots as a traditional three-handed timepiece. Water resistance – a paramount feature in Bell & Ross’s utility line – has been sustained at 100 meters. Complementing the watch’s soaring aesthetics is the practical Caliber BR-CAL.327 automatic movement, run from the trustworthy architecture of the Sellita SW300 and boasting a power reserve of roughly 54 hours.

With its serenely star-laced aventurine dial backdrop, BR-03 Astro contemplates the grandeur of the cosmos, mapping an adventurous route for future horological expeditions.
