Up for sale is my Bell & Ross diver's watch, BR02-92-ST-FIB. This watch is/was part of Bell & Ross's marine instrument watch line. The BR02 was meant to be a serious tool watch withstanding hydrostatic pressure up to 1,000m with an automatic helium escape valve mechanism in place. Constructed with 316L stainless steel compound, the watch case measures 44mm wide. The tonneau shape of the watch casing hides the size easily and allows the watch to be worn comfortably.

The carbon fiber face is clean, there is a date window near the 5 o-clock position. The glass is anti-reflective sapphire with no scratches. The crystal is believed to exceed 3mm in thickness and is curved which helps it fit comfortably under the cuff. The watch is unique in the sense that you don't see many (if at all) a tonneau shaped diver's watch. The watch was purchased at an AD in Europe, Monaco to be exact, back in 2013.

The watch has been reviewed a few of times by those that are better at reviews than I:

Condition of the watch:
This watch was worn in rotation although favored most when I first had it, it shows signs of wear in the form of light desk swirls near the top edge of the face, and on the side, this can all be buffed out easily but I will leave that to the new owner. No dings, dents, or divots in the steel. I would rate the watch 80 - 85% just because of the original rubber strap broke. Photos were taken trying to capture the marks, but they are faint.

Pricing

I'm wanting to move this watch since I have not worn it in a while, and have losing wrist time since getting my Submariner. I am asking for $4,000 shipped and would consider trade ups as well. If you are interested, I will also be listing my BR01-92 soon and I can certainly package both watches together in a deal.

I can be reached via PM or email to nathan_wu@shaw.ca. Additional photos can be provided upon request.
