Bell & Ross has never been shy about pushing the boundaries of modern horology, and the new BR-X3 Night Vision has never been shy about pushing the boundaries of modern horology, and the new BR-X3 Night Vision proves just how far the brand is willing to go. Sitting between the concept-driven BR-X1 and the everyday-ready BR-X5, the BR-X3 strikes a perfect balance between innovation and wearability — and the Night Vision edition takes that formula into stealth mode.
Crafted with a 41mm titanium case and Bell & Ross’s proprietary LUM-CAMO composite, the Night Vision glows subtly in the dark thanks to its fusion of carbon fiber and luminous resin. Add in photoluminescent green rubber inserts, a matte-black PVD finish, and a green-tinted sapphire crystal, and the watch looks like it was lifted straight from a covert-ops simulator. Beneath the surface, the COSC-certified BR-CAL.323 automatic movement (built by Kenissi, the same manufacturer trusted by Tudor) provides 70 hours of power reserve and delivers serious precision.
The multi-layered dial, filled with vivid Super-LumiNova X2, gives off the same green glow you’d find in an aircraft HUD, further driving home the Night Vision’s “tactical fantasy” aesthetic. Limited to just 250 pieces, it’s not a watch for everyone — and that’s exactly the point. At $14,100, this is Bell & Ross at its boldest: a futuristic tool watch that looks like it belongs in the hands of the most elite virtual operator.
