Bell & Ross has teamed up with the Tara Ocean Foundation, a French public interest foundation dedicated to ocean exploration and research, to create a limited-edition version of its BR 03-92 dive watch. The new Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver Tara celebrates the first year of the partnership between the two organizations, and all of the scientists aboard the Tara research vessel will be equipped with models from the collection.
The watch features a matte blue ceramic case with bright orange accents, reflecting the Tara Ocean Foundation’s signature colors. It also has a unidirectional rotating timing bezel, a rubberized screw-down crown, and a solid matte blue ceramic caseback with an engraving of the Tara schooner research vessel.
The dial is also matte blue, with applied hour markers filled with Super-LumiNova. The minute track is printed along the angled chapter ring, and a circular date window sits at the 4:30 position. The hands are luminous, with the seconds hand finished in bright orange to match the bezel. The Tara Ocean Foundation’s orange and white logo is printed directly below the handset on the lower half of the display.
The watch is powered by the brand’s Caliber BR-Cal.302 automatic movement, which has a power reserve of approximately 38 hours. It comes with two different straps: a blue rubber strap with a matching blue PVD-coated tang buckle, and an orange synthetic fabric strap with a Velcro-style closure with a blue PVD-coated fastening loop.
The Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver Tara is produced as a limited edition of 999 examples, and has an official retail price of $5,600 USD. A portion of the profits from each sale will be donated to the Tara Ocean Foundation.
