A Tribute to Our Blue Planet
At the heart of the BR-03 Astro is a unique dial design that illustrates the orbits of planets around Earth, making it a truly interplanetary timepiece. The watch is housed in a 41mm black ceramic case, giving it a sleek and modern aesthetic reminiscent of the vastness of space. The anti-reflective sapphire crystal is uniquely hollowed at its center into the shape of a spherical cap, adding depth to the Earth’s representation and enhancing the visual impact of this cosmic-inspired piece.
Precision Engineering and Unique Features
One of the most remarkable aspects of the BR-03 Astro is its functional planetary display. The small satellite marks the seconds, completing a full orbit around Earth in 60 seconds, while the Moon tracks the minutes and Mars gradually moves to indicate the hours. The backdrop of the dial is a deep blue aventurine plate, representing the mysteries of space, while the hands and celestial bodies are meticulously crafted using laser-engraved metal and intricate decals.
Under the hood, the BR-03 Astro is powered by the Swiss automatic mechanical movement BR.CAL-327, offering a reliable 54-hour power reserve. Designed for resilience, it boasts a water resistance of 100 meters and features a black rubber strap with an additional black synthetic fabric option, secured by a black PVD-coated steel pin buckle.
