What do you all think of this B&R.... I have never been into military type watches but something about this really calls out to me with the Army green dial and the synthetic strap ...just has that complete package look to it perfect.gif 










New Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Instrument Military: The authenticity of the military watch




The BR 03 INSTRUMENT with its 42 mm diameter is a real alternative to the BR 01 INSTRUMENT XXL, 46 mm, a tailor-made tool.


A true replica of an aircraft cockpit instrument, professional by its very nature, the BR 03 is first and foremost a utilitarian watch specially created for aircraft pilots. Designed for professionals seeking tools with total reliability, it satisfies four basic principles: readability, functionality, reliability and water-resistance.
Working to the simple motto that the basics never cede to superfluity, the Bell & Ross engineers have designed a utilitarian watch perfectly suitable for professional use.
As a tribute to the military - the first professionals to use the wristwatch as a tool on assignment -, Bell & Ross is proposing a genuinely military version of the BR 03: the BR 03 Instrument Military.
In total compliance with military technical specifications, the olive drab dial is perfectly readable night and day, the sapphire crystal cannot be scratched and the watch has a high-precision adjusted movement.
Like all other authentic military watches, the red symbol screen-printed on the dial (here the sign symbol of the union of skills) indicates the use of photoluminescent coating which makes it easy to read in the gloom (Superluminova).
The matt, anti-reflection black of the case and the olive drab dial - mirroring the colour of the military uniform - make this the outstanding camouflage watch.
