Bell & Ross has consistently balanced its aviation-inspired DNA with daring design, and the BR-X3 Black Titanium is the latest embodiment of this vision. Released on the 20th anniversary of the brand’s iconic square case, the BR-X3 takes the familiar BR-03 platform. It reimagines it with multilayer titanium architecture, aerospace-grade movement engineering, and a sleek, technical aesthetic.
The case itself is a showpiece, built from a sandwich-style construction of two gray titanium plates that hold all components together, with a black band running through the middle. Paired with a vented black rubber strap, the 41mm case is both lightweight and comfortable for long wear while maintaining a rugged, professional-grade feel.
Inside beats the BR-CAL.323 movement, produced by Kenissi — the same manufacturer trusted by Tudor and Fortis. It’s COSC-certified, features a 70-hour power reserve, and comes with a five-year warranty, reflecting Bell & Ross’s confidence in the build. The dial layout remains clean and functional, featuring a power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock and a date display at 3 o’clock, all set against layers of black and gray that enhance its stealthy vibe.
Priced at $8,300, the BR-X3 Black Titanium isn’t just another tool watch — it’s a statement piece for collectors who appreciate aerospace precision and understated design. For those who prefer a splash of color, the BR-X3 Blue Steel variant ($7,200) brings anodized blue accents and a jewel-like presence, but the titanium remains the purist’s choice.
