More interestingly, the typical numeral dial markers have been eschewed in favor of “Baignoire-style” indices. While minimalist, they’re still distinct — the 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock markers are unique, while 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock are the same oval shape, and the rest are small circles.
This minimalist design choice keeps the dial readable, even at a glance, without bogging it down with too many hard-to-discern figures and symbols. In contrast, the rotating dive timer bezel bears standardized numerals and markers, helping contrast it from the dial markers.
Holy diver
All that style means precisely squat if the watch’s functionality isn’t up to snuff. But Bell & Ross pulled no punches with this launch.
Beneath that lumed dial, you’ll find a Caliber BR-CAL.302-1 automatic movement with a 54-hour power reserve. It’s housed in a solid case that’s good for depths of up to 300 meters.
