Despite still being a decently underutilized material in the watch world, bronze has been around a long, long time – like 2000 years BCE long. Primarily composed of copper and known for its resistance to the elements, bronze was a natural choice to craft early maritime-oriented tools, including old-school diving helmets – which just so happens to be engraved on the stainless steel caseback of this watch. Quite the logical fit for a dive-centric tool watch, no?

The calling card of bronze in the modern watchmaking context is its ability to be shaped by the elements and lifestyle of its wearer, taking on a patina over time. Because of the natural oxidation process of the copper elements, this watch will begin to take on brown and green tones as it ages. This watch will also look different depending upon the context you subject it to – if you are wearing this thing frequently by the sea and underwater, it will age differently than if you spend most of your time in the city. Additionally, you have the option to polish the case to your liking, allowing you to lean into its ability to shine almost like gold. The bronze that Bell & Ross has used for this BR-03-92 is composed of 92% copper and 8% tin, which is intended to make it appear very similar in its hue to the bronze used on early sailboat fittings.
