The new Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic is the result of a collision between a fighter jet and a luxury timepiece at high speed. Inspired by the brand’s long-standing obsession with stealth aircraft and tactical minimalism, this limited-edition drop (just 500 pieces worldwide) takes the signature BR-05 silhouette into shadowy, high-performance territory.
Wrapped in a 41mm black ceramic case, the watch features a blend of satin-brushed and polished surfaces that echo the lines of a stealth bomber. More than just aesthetic, the ceramic is ultra-lightweight and scratch-resistant—perfect for daily wear in any theater, urban or otherwise.
The real star? A skeletonized dial that reveals the Caliber BR-CAL.322-1, developed in-house with a 54-hour power reserve. The dial’s smoky transparency teases just enough of the movement’s mechanics while maintaining that tactical edge. Baton hour markers and sword-shaped hands are filled with grey Super-LumiNova that glows bright green in low light—think night-vision chic.
Paired with a matching ceramic bracelet or a rugged rubber strap, the Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Phantom is a stealth masterclass in monochrome style. At $9,800, it’s not for the faint of wallet—but if you’re hunting for something bold, functional, and unapologetically futuristic, this might be your next mission-ready companion.
