R 03 is the most representative flight instrument timepiece series of Bell & Ross, which is famous for its professional aviation watches. BR 03 has a square and round appearance and four corner screw decorations, as well as inspiration from the world of aviation and aviation. The design of transplanting the instrument onto the wrist has been the core model of the brand’s watchmaking philosophy since its launch. Following last year’s launch of the BR 03 Gyrocompass, which was inspired by a flying gyrocompass, this year’s new masterpiece BR-03 Horizon incorporates an artificial horizon that is vital to pilots and can display spatial positioning into the watch design, making the lineup of flight instrument timepieces more complete. .
The artificial horizon is one of the most important instruments on the aircraft instrument panel. It is a symbolic graphic that expresses the aircraft’s position in the space between the sky and the earth. The artificial horizon is spherical in shape, with the upper half blue representing the sky, the lower half black representing the earth, and the two red lines in the middle representing the wings on both sides. The outer scale indicates the aircraft’s pitch angle, and the middle scale indicates the aircraft’s pitch angle. Because early pilots could only observe the position with the naked eye, in order to perform tasks under poor visibility conditions, engineers invented instrument displays based on gyroscopes, including artificial horizons (also known as attitude instruments), airspeed, and airspeed. The meter, altimeter, turn coordination meter, gyro compass and vertical rate meter form the most important display device on the instrument. The artificial horizon can instantly display the pitch or dive angle relative to the horizon, making it easier for the pilot to control the attitude and tilt angle of the aircraft.
The BR-03 Horizon, limited to 999 pieces, adopts the brand’s iconic classic design code of a square within a circle, replicating the shape of aircraft cockpit instruments and mastering the design principles of clear and easy to read, precise, simple and easy to understand. Among the two hands, the white one is the large minute hand, the two-color hand with black and white stripes is the second hand, the dial can rotate, and the black triangle mark is the hour display. 41 mm micro-sandblasted black ceramic case, equipped with a precise BR.CAL-327 automatic mechanical movement, waterproof to a depth of 100 meters, and equipped with a black rubber strap inspired by pilot equipment, which can also be replaced with an orange Velcro strap. Full sense of flight.
