Following a long line of aeronautical designs, watchmaker Bell & Ross introduced a new watch collection featuring its signature “round within the square” style. The new BR-X5 line of watches brings the iconic design with unparalleled functionality and craftsmanship that watch enthusiasts have come to know and love from Bell & Ross. The Bell & Ross BR-X5 lineup has five new styles, all included in the BR 05 collection.
Offering several different changes to the BR 05 designs, the side of the case has been hollowed out for a multi-layer look consistent with its sandwich-type construction which lends it both visual interest and weight optimization. The case size is 41mm, which is comparable to the BR 05 GMT.
Inside, a Swiss-designed movement developed by movement specialist Kenissi powers this robust timepiece. After years of testing and development, watchmakers finally fine-tuned the intricate, reliable, and durable BR-CAL.323 movement. This movement is endowed with a variable-inertia balance wheel for improved precision, resulting in COSC certification, a first for Bell & Ross.
Boasting a 70-hour power reserve between windings, this watch is ideal for weekends, lasting from Friday to Monday without having to wind the watch. The Bell & Ross BR-X5 is designed with a multi-layer construction, building elements of the case on top of one another. A hollowed case in the middle shows the intricate structure while reducing the overall weight without impacting durability.
There are five new Bell & Ross BR-X5 models to choose from. The Black Steel and stunning Ice Blue Steel with a rubber bracelet are priced at $6,900, while the stainless steel bracelet version of these two watches is priced at $7,400. A fifth Bell & Ross BR-X5 watch made with carbon features an orange rubber strap is available for $11,800. All the Bell & Ross BR-X5 watches are currently available online.
