Though the season for ice diving is quickly coming to an end, Bell & Ross celebrates those brave enough to dive under the frozen surfaces with the BR 03-92 Diver in white. Winter will not officially be over until the 20th of March. But the days have already started to get longer, and temperatures have begun their steady ascent. Soon, in those areas where it is still present, the ice will begin to dissolve. Lakes will go back to their own usual liquid state, as the surface layer melts away. However , in some of the northernmost regions, ice scuba diving was still possible until just a couple of weeks ago. Just as hazardous as cavern or wreck diving, ice diving is not for the faint-hearted. With today’s release, Bell & Ross pays homage to the thrill-seeking divers that dare in order to plunge into the icy types.
The Bells & Ross BR 03-92 Diver is a perfectly qualified companion, complying both with ISO 6425 and NIHS standard 92611. That’s a reassuring feature when undertaking some of the most gear-challenging forms of plunging. Modern dive computers have been known to succumb to the cold, their batteries draining too soon in the icy temperatures. Consequently , wearing a watch, especially the mechanical one, is a good backup option, and one that could prove crucial. Having a specially crafted dial with an opalescent silver surface which appears white-colored until you look closer, the BR 03-92 is an head turning new addition to the brand’s athletic line, offering nice contrast with the darker tones associated with its other offerings.
