The Bell & Ross BR 03-92 HUD Watch is one of the latest timepieces from the brand that blends retro aesthetics with modern needs to deliver an accessory that's perfectly balanced. As the name suggests, the timepiece is inspired by the 1970s heads-up displays (HUD) found in cockpits to give it a retro military design for wearers to appreciate. The aesthetic is achieved thanks to a green-tinted glass that allows the information on the dial to be highly legible and further enhance the cockpit-like design of the timepiece.
The Bell & Ross BR 03-92 HUD Watch is priced at $3,990, and comes with both a black synthetic fabric strap and black rubber strap in the box to be swapped out according to preferences. The timepiece is limited to just 999 examples.
