Luxe watchmaker Bell & Ross goes deep with dive timepiece.

Swiss performance watchmaker Bell & Ross recently unveiled a timepiece aimed at those who dive submarine deep. Bell & Ross’s new BR02 Instrument is water-resistant to 1,000 meters. According to the company, the watch satisfies two basic principles: readability and water resistance. To satisfy the extreme conditions of deep-sea diving, the BR02 is fitted with photo-luminescent large hands and index to make it easier to read in the deepest, darkest depths.

Guaranteed to be water-resistant to its maximum stated depth, the BR02 can resist pressure levels higher than the standards set by the Swiss watchmaking industry. During deep-sea diving, its decompression valve balances the pressure inside the case with exterior pressure. It has an ergonomic case and a choice of straps—and it looks very cool.
