Space tourism might still cost a small fortune, but thanks to Bell & Ross, you can now wear a miniature solar system on your wrist without having to mortgage your house. Introducing the BR-03 Astro, a limited-edition timepiece that turns your wrist into a cosmic spectacle—with Earth, the Moon, and Mars orbiting right under a sapphire dome. Who needs a spaceship when you have a watch like this?
A Watch That’s Out of This World
Inspired by the Cupola observation dome on the International Space Station, the BR-03 Astro offers more than just a pretty face. At the heart of the dial is Earth, depicted in realistic relief, while the Moon marks the minutes and Mars keeps track of the hours. A tiny satellite races around the dial every 60 seconds, serving as the seconds hand and a reminder that time flies—literally.
Precision Meets Playfulness
This isn’t just a gimmick slapped on a timepiece. Bell & Ross has used some serious watchmaking wizardry to balance the intricate planetary display with precise mechanics. The 41mm black ceramic case houses the BR-CAL.327 automatic movement, which boasts a 54-hour power reserve—perfect for extended space daydreams.
The Final Frontier: Limited Edition
The BR-03 Astro isn’t for everyone. Only 999 pieces will be available worldwide, making it more exclusive than a first-class ticket to the moon. And with a price of US$4,800, it’s practically a bargain compared to actual space travel.
So, if you’ve always wanted a planet or two at your fingertips, here’s your chance. Just remember: it’s a wristwatch, not a spaceship. Don’t try to launch yourself into orbit. Not going to lie. I never expect space-themed for a Bell & Ross timepiece. What about you?
