    Bell & Ross reaches new heights with its latest BR-03 Astro, placing Earth at its center, surrounded by the Moon and Mars.

    A planetary system within a 41mm case and 11.5mm in height—scaled down to perfection!  its dial showcases the orbits of planets around Earth.  The glass of the dial is carved into a spherical cap, allowing Earth to be rendered realistically in both volume and decal. Calculating the weight and positioning of the hands—especially to support the engraved Moon—required the same meticulous approach applied to designing components of any other precision timepiece.  A journey through the solar system, the BR-03 Astro emphasizes the expressive magic of space, with Earth as the central figure in this cosmic scene.  Its “hands” are unconventional: Mars indicates the hours, the Moon the minutes, and the small satellite functions as the seconds hand. 

    The BR-03 Astro case is crafted from black ceramic. Water-resistant to 100 meters.  Powered by the Swiss automatic mechanical movement BR.CAL-327,  with a black rubber strap, secured by a black PVD-coated steel pin buckle.
