Launched in 2010, the Bell & Ross Flight Instruments watch collection draws inspiration from onboard aviation devices – from the altimeter and gyrocompass to the radar screen. The BR 03-92 Radiocompass is the latest addition the collection. Limited to 999 pieces, the watch takes its name from the Radio Compass, an on-board receiver used to define the position and direction of an aircraft via beacons on the ground. This indispensable tool guides pilots regardless of visibility, allowing them to navigate at night, in fog or in the rain. Designed to maximize visibility, the watches matte black dial mimics the display of the Radio Compass. Highlighter orange, yellow and green hands track the hours, minutes and seconds. While 3 graduated circles display the seconds numerals on the flange, minute indexes in the middle and the hour numerals on the innermost circle – all in white. The dial also includes a date window between 4 and 5 o’clock. Finally, a Super-LumiNova filled white triangle at 12 o’clock helps maintain orientation.
