What is diameter of glass on BR02?

[Little Squid]

Could any owner of the BR02 take some measurements for me please? Glass diameter, lug-to-lug, outer case to crown across the 9-3 position. Thanks much.

Here you go... As near as I can measure with a set of calipers

Crystal diameter 35mm
Width, 3 to 9, without crown 44mm
Width, 3 to 9, with crown 49mm
Lug to lug 44mm (I measured springbar hole to hole), about 48mm end to end
Thickness is 16.7mm

AWESOME! Thanks!

Yes thank you for this information and a good question regarding the glass diameter.

In my opinion the glass diameter is an important question, there is no point having a large cased 44mm watch if the dial/glass is on average with a 40-42mm and therefore the readability similar to a 40-42mm as well.

However the rotating internal bezel would be reducing the actual indexed dial.

Would it be possible to answer another question, what is the diameter of the indexed face of the dial not including the rotating bezel?

Thanks.

The rotating bezel is maybe 2mm, so I guess around 30-31mm is the diameter of the face. Really, imo, you are looking at how the watch "wears," meaning how it looks on. The smaller face on this watch in no way makes this a watch that looks small. The BR02 is a big chunk on your wrist. From what I've seen, watches typically don't get noticed by people that aren't into watches. But on several occasions I've gotten comments on my BR02 like "Thats a big watch!"
I have a couple watches with a larger face and less of a case, more of a pilot watch look. Very nice, sleek, but not the massive feel of the B&R.

Thanks for the reply, appreciated.

I was just asking the dial diameter as I thought even though the BR02 looks by no means small because of the 30mm face, as it is a dive watch one of the important factors would be the readability of the dial.

I was just trying to compare the BR02 with other brands of diver that may have a smaller case and therefore wear smaller but the dial perhaps maybe more readable as they have a larger diameter indexed face and the bezel is external to that.

It was interesting to read that your BR02 appears as a “big chunk on your wrist” and you have had comments “That’s a big watch” and I do not doubt that it is. However the case itself is 44mm and I have noticed there are a lot bigger or similar sized cased divers out there such as the Omega PO at 45.5mm, IWC Aquatimer 44mm, Jaeger LeCoultre Diving GMT 46.3mm and the list goes on.

However I prefer the cleaner lines of the BR02 to the above especially that of the prodial PVD as it is uncluttered and not too busy and I already own an Omega PO but the smaller 42mm.

Perhaps as the BR02 has a squarer case and accommodates a much wider strap it appears bigger than the conventional diver style of a similar if not larger diameter.

I only have 7 inch wrists (on a good day) and was hoping the BR02 would not look too over the top massive strapped to my arm.

I have a 7.25" wrist and IMO the BR02 is a nice size for my wrist. I've tried on Omega PO 45's and they probably feel about the same in terms or size. I agree, the unique and sleek lines of the BR02 are what attracted me to the watch. The nylon strap fits very nice too and it a great alternative to the look of the watch.
