A minor update with monumental effect.

In watchmaking design, every millimetre counts. Even the slightest change in case sizing can seriously alter the look and feel of a watch. So when <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/watches/introducing-the-new-bell-ross-br-05-gmt-sky-blue" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bell &amp; Ross</a> adjusted the dimensions of the BR 03 from 42mm to 41mm, the effects are immediately apparent.

This isn&rsquo;t the first time Bell &amp; Ross downsized its emblematic &ldquo;circle in square&rdquo; design. Inspired by aircraft cockpits and aeronautical instrumentation, the original BR 01 made an impression back in 2005 with its brawny 46mm profile. But not everyone can wear a cockpit clock on their wrist, which is why the 42mm BR 03 was created in 2006, possessing the same spirit but in a more appealing profile.
This year, the BR 03 proportions are refined further &mdash; by a mere 1mm! &mdash; and the effect is magnified by shortened lugs and a narrower rubber strap. Accompanying these outwardly transformations is a brand new BR-CAL.302 automatic movement, which comes with an extended power reserve of 54 hours.

The refreshed BR 03 collection is a vibrant dashboard epitomising the spirit of refinement and good taste. There are three models in the signature matte black case for a resolutely retro look; three contemporary versions in polished steel with black, blue and brown dials; a copper model with a galvanised metallic dial; and a military-inspired piece that pairs a matte black ceramic case with a khaki dial.
