Review the Bell & Ross Aviation Quartz Men's Watch Replica

In 2005, the massive 46mm BR01 could become the brand's signature look, followed by the more reasonably sized BR03 (and later the 39mm BRS). When the BR05 was introduced in 2019, the rough square watch was softened a bit, and there are now as many as 33 different more "normal" round watches to choose from as part of the BR V1, V2 and V3 collections. The BR01 and BR03 are still the classic Bell & Ross looks for many people, such as this Bell & Ross Aviation Quartz Men's Watch replica BR0392-AVIA-CA.

Three Differences

This particular model deviates from the more recognisable BR03 template in three main ways. Firstly, the movement is a quartz ana-digi instead of an automatic ETA 2892 or Sellita SW300. Secondly,  the large rounded indices at the cardinal points are replaced by more angular indices which are in keeping with the 1980s feel of the digital display windows. Finally, an additional rotating bezel adds even more functionality to the package. The result is a watch that feels quite far removed from a cockpit instrument, but is still very much Bell & Ross.

The quartz module inside the replica BR0392-AVIA is an ETA 988.333. This is the same as you'll find in watches from Rado and Victorinox, and one of the most well-recognised ana-digis of all—the Breitling Aerospace—is also based on this caliber. Function is king, with the digital displays being able to cycle through hours/minutes/seconds, seconds with date, day/date (perpetual calendar), timer, second time zone, chronograph (add or split), and alarm. All of those functions are controlled through the crown via a quick twist. Additional actions such as starting and stopping the chronograph or setting the timer/alarm are performed by either pressing or turning the crown normally. As much as l love the Bell & Ross BR03 replica for its clean and sharp looks, the knowledge that all of this additional functionality is a twist away is a great bonus.

Just in case that's not function enough, the countdown bezel offers additional timing capability. I have to say that I haven't yet found myself in a situation where I'm using both the chronograph and timer functions simultaneously, and still be in need of a third way of timing something. In reality, if I need a timer during kitchen duty then I'll naturally grab and twist any kind of bezel sooner than find and initiate any of the other functions. For that reason, the bezel is a useful alternative rather than a supplementary function.

The entirety of the case and bezel, aside from the white bezel markings, are black PVD coated with the monochromatic theme continuing through the dial. Only the digital windows display a hint of color. Rather than stick with the more traditional thick sword hands, this model uses skeletonised versions of the same shape. Practically speaking this ensures that the hands don't obscure the digital display windows, but aesthetically they provide a great match for the indices too.

42 mm Case

At 42mm, the replica BR03 may be smaller than it's older brother, but it's still a large watch. My high school education tells me that a 42mm square is going to be about 27% larger than a circle with the same diameter but that doesn't really tell the whole story of how the watch wears. It does look like a big watch based on what the eye can see, whether coated in black or an expanse of stainless steel, but short and stubby downturned lugs give a more comfortable wearing experience than you might expect. I still can't pretend it's a small watch though, and I only just feel capable of pulling it off with my 7 inch wrists. Choosing the right strap also helps a lot.

Different Strap

With 24mm lugs, the BR03 doesn't share straps with any other watch in my collection. It's a strap beast, but it plays by its own rules. The black stock rubber strap is always a great option with bold 'BR' branding visible and the strap widening to match the distance between the outside of the lugs, and Bell & Ross replica make this strap in a wide variety of different colors. However, the synthetic fabric strap, seen here in Khaki, is perhaps the most comfortable strap I've worn in a long time. The strap acts as a soft cuff right around the wrist with no taper and offers unlimited flexibility of fit through the velcro fastening. The only slight downside is needing to use the dedicated tools to unscrew the screw bars, rather than quickly releasing a spring bar. The thick screw bars do give a little extra confidence, but strap changing is slowed down somewhat on a watch that works well with so many different looks.
