The Breitling Navitimer Replica is the ultimate expression of form for this design-driven brand. The square dive watch is also a rare sea creature. The square dive watch is a rarity. Traditionally, dive watches are round or barrel shaped. Right angle corners can be difficult to seal with conventional rubber gaskets. Bell & Ross may not have found the solution to seal a square dive watch that is worthy of the abyss, but the 300m water resistance is respectable and is at the limit for humans using self-contained underwaterbreathing apparatus. Anything deeper requires surface-supplied mixed breathinggasandahyperbaricdiving bell. The Breitling Navitimer Replica was a great choice for the Florida Keys.

Jason Heaton takes the BR 03 92 Diver for a drift dive and enjoys both the ride and scenery.

The Republic Diver, after a shakedown dive at Fire Coral Hole (ashallowsite) on Molasses Reef, motored out to sea in search of Conch Wall. This deeper site is bathed by a strong current. We chose a "drift dive" due to the sludge-filled surface conditions. Instead of kicking around a small dive site, the Republic Diver dropped down to 75 feet, and we let the current take us on a one way ride on a Gulf Stream conveyer belt. Driftdives are not without their benefits. Since there is virtually no kicking involved, you can cover a large area without having to breathe a great deal of air. There is no way back. Divers should stay together as a group, since being separated can create huge distances. The dive boat will also follow the bubbles you exhale on the surface to be able to retrieve you at the end. Our next stop could be Cuba if the captain loses track of us. Or Africa.

After a new tank of air was filled, the BR03 bezel spun to align the zero with the minute hand and I stepped into sea. We deflated the buoyancy vests quickly and lowered ourselves rapidly to avoid overshooting the reef. Our ears were also equalized as we dropped. The reef appeared, a riotous display of hard and soft corals, with schools of snapper, jacks and barracuda, as well as the occasional nurse shark.swiss replica watches My exhaled bubbles followed me as we drifted, a sign that the current here was fast. I was cruising over a crack on the reef when I spotted a stingray half buried in the sand. In an attempt to get a better look at the stingray, I turned and tried swimming against the current in order to slow down my progress. But it didn't work. This dive was a fast-forward dive. I knew we had only been underwater for 12 minutes by looking at the Bell & Ross. I searched for the Republic Diver silhouette from 75 feet up, but it was nowhere to be seen.

The Breitling Navitimer Replica, aside from its unique looks, is a dive instrument that's worth investing in. The dial is subaquatic, even though the case shape resembles that of other Bell & Ross watches. It opts for bright, circular and hashed markers instead of the aviation-inspired looped numerals. They are also generously painted with luminescent paint. The hands consist of long, silver needles that are faceted and luminescent to make them easy to read in low light. The orange hour hand can be distinguished from the white lume minute hand at a quick glance. The orange hand is an excellent choice as it is the first colour to fade away when a diver descends. This puts it in the background while the minute hand counts down the dive time.Richard Mille Replica The rotating timing bezel is the watch's main feature. It makes it a diving watch and distinguishes it from other Instrument Series pieces by Bell & Ross. The bezel, which is positioned up off the case, is easily gripped and legible. Its round shape contrasts with the chunky angles in the back. The bezel ratchets counter-clockwise with authority and has an anodized aluminium timing ring.
