Designed to meet the requirements of air forces operating in warm countries, the BR 03 Desert Type is Bell & Ross’ stylish military inspired watch. Sand-coloured, just like the outfits worn by pilots on desert missions, the Desert Type is an inherently professional instrument, perfectly illustrating the four fundamental principles of Bell & Ross: legibility, functionality, precision and water resistance.
Equipped with a chronograph function, this watch was specially designed for air pilots needing a tool to measure short time intervals. Its strap, which is available in beige leather or black ultra-resistant fabric, serves as a reminder of the practical purpose of this camouflage model.

To adhere to the principles of aeronautical design, the case is black and the anti-reflective crystal is made of sapphire, a very tough material exhibiting tried and tested robustness. True to its continuous quest for excellence, Bell & Ross opted for ceramic in a black through-coloured shade for the case of its new chronograph. This innovative and high-tech material occupies pride of place in the production of pieces subjected to very high temperatures, acidic conditions, corrosion and erosion. Hypoallergenic and ultra-light, ceramic offers an exceptional feel and quickly adapts to body temperature for ultimate comfort.
To meet the requirements of the men working in the field, the new Desert Type is available in three versions, each with its own Swiss movement. On the 42 mm version, the three-hand BR 03-92 and the BR 03-94 chronograph present the large opening generally used for instrument watches. The 39 mm model presents the three-hand BR S for a version suited for smaller wrists, and also for women wishing to stand out from the crowd.
Style never needs to be compromised, with the Desert Type watches, regardless of the harsh climate conditions. Originally developed for fighter pilots on field operations, the Desert Type models will delight lovers of characterful watches, as well as those who enjoy travelling to desert landscapes.
The shape of the hands and the black and sand-coloured contrast typography of the numerals guarantee total ease of reading, during day and night thanks to its consistent and masterful photoluminescence.
