A luminous sports watch from Bell & Ross

Bell & Ross develops resistant and precise timepieces for professionals performing their mission. The new BR V2-92 Full Lum perfectly meets this requirement. This limited-edition sports watch of 500 timepieces aims for superior brightness and maximum readability day and night. Water-resistant to a depth of 100 m, it has a 41 mm steel case

With the modern and functional Full Lum finish, this unusual sports watch also delves into the heart of the urban night. Bell & Ross’ Full Lum concept appeared in 2019. This denomination means totally (Full) luminous (Lum). These watches are distinguished first and foremost by their photoluminescent dial.

The BR V2-92 Full Lum is the fourth element of this unique watchmaking family. It was preceded by the BR 03-92 Full Lum in 2019, with a sand-coloured dial; the BR 03-92 Diver Full Lum in 2020 in water green, the current signature of this collection; the BR V2-94 Full Lum in 2021, the first sports chronograph in the series.

The new BR V2-92 Full Lum from 2022 is the latest addition to this successful series. This 3-hand watch is not afraid of contrasts. It is timeless; it features the Bell & Ross Vintage case with timeless rounded lines. It is equipped with the BR-CAL.302 calibre with resistant and precise automatic winding. It displays the hour, minutes and seconds by central hands and the date in an aperture.

It is also unique and original, and adopts the very contemporary Full Lum finish. It stands out in particular for its completely luminescent dial in the dark. “Lum” also evokes Super-LumiNova, a phosphorescent substance that lights up in the dark. Unalterable, this paint stores daylight to restore it at nightfall.

The dial, hands, numerals and indexes of the BR V2-92 Full Lum benefit from this ultra-luminescent coating in two distinctive colours. During the day, the dial covered with Super-LumiNova C5 offers two unique shades. The base of the dial is adorned with a subtle, slightly mysterious water green, unusual in watchmaking. The hands, numerals and indexes are covered in pale yellow Super-LumiNova C3.

During the day, these unusual colours are discreet. At night, the Super-LumiNova glows. The background of the dial radiates an intense blue. The hands, numerals and indexes light up in a dazzling light green. These fluorescent tones contrast with the black contours of the indexes on the dial. The entire watch is adorned with light.

At night, almost all the watches are grey and dark, except the BR V2-92 Full Lum whose colours sparkle in the dark. This watch then creates a fluorescent, flashy and colourful universe. Its two-tone dial recalls the illuminated neon lights of large cities. Its unusual colours make it a very contemporary watch. This novelty is aimed at lovers of unique timepieces as well as trendy urban night owls.

This BR V2-92 Full Lum is as much a professional instrument as it is a fashion accessory. Its notched bidirectional rotating bezel is used to set benchmarks in time, in order to keep control of it even in the dark.
