Testing The Bell & Ross Br 03-92 Golden Heritage Replica Watch

Bell & Ross has been making pilots’ replica watches since the company was founded two decades ago. Initially, they were traditional-looking, round replica watches, but in 2005 it came out with BR 01, a square-case, round-dial watch meant to resemble the flight instruments in an airplane cockpit. And now, the BR 03-92 Golden Heritage replica watch is 42 mm wide .

The “golden” in the name refers to the gold- plated hands and markers. The replica watch is called “Heritage” because it has a vintage look to it, thanks to the finish on its gold-plated components and the styling of its strap.

The case on the BR 03-92 Golden Heritage Bell & Ross replica watch is a monocoque, meaning it has no separate caseback. It is made of steel. To access the movement, the watchmaker must remove the top part of the case, take out the winding stem and crown and then lift up the movement and dial. The top part of the case and the dial are each affixed to the bottom of the case with sets of four screws.

In addttion, the case is water resistant to 100 meters; it has an O-ring gasket with sealant, which is also applied to the screw holes.The dial is securely affixed, the case well finished, the strap thick and very wide.
