The new Bell & Ross BR 05 Skeleton Golden is among the most unique-looking, high-end watches released thus far in 2023. The aesthetic appeal is in the fully-visible skeletonized dial with its transparent golden panel and rhodium-plated BR-CAL.322 automatic mechanical movement. A reinforced, galvanized golden flange diffuses an amber light that appears as though the watch is glowing on the wrist. It’s a technical yet minimalist watch for fans of Haute Horlogerie.
The 40mm BR 05 Skeleton Golden features Super-LumiNova-filled applique indices. The skeletonized hour and minute hands are also Super-LumiNova-filled. The lack of numerals and the integrated bracelet, which fuses with the case, add to the timepiece’s simplistic, modern appeal. Buyers can opt to purchase the watch with a satin-finished, polished steel strap or a sportier brown rubber one without sacrificing the watch’s high-end look.
The BR 05 Skeleton Golden is a prime example of Bell & Ross‘ new urban collection, which includes several modern designs suitable for everyday wear in the city. This timepiece, limited to only 500 pieces, is available for preorder only, with expected delivery at the beginning of March 2023. The watch runs $6,600 on the brown rubber strap and $7,100 on the steel bracelet.
