Bell & Ross Marks 20 Years of BR-03 with Skeleton Trilogy

Bell & Ross has unveiled the BR-03 Skeleton, a new trilogy of timepieces that brings a sophisticated evolution to its iconic square watch line.

Celebrating two decades of the BR-03 collection, the launch is accompanied by the “20 YEARS BOLD” campaign, highlighting the model’s design legacy. The trilogy introduces a newly designed movement developed and produced specifically for Bell & Ross.

Each of the three BR-03 Skeleton models features the BR-CAL.328 calibre, an automatic mechanical movement with a 54-hour power reserve. Designed without a date function, it supports hour, minute, and second indications. All three watches incorporate an X-shaped skeletonised structure that connects directly to the bezel screws, forming a distinctive architectural design element.

BR-03 Skeleton Black Ceramic

The BR-03 Skeleton Black Ceramic is directly influenced by aviation aesthetics. Its 41 mm black ceramic case frames a skeletonised dial made from smoked sapphire crystal. The dial features black “baignoire-style” indexes and skeletonised hands filled with green-emitting Super-LumiNova for maximum legibility. It comes with two straps: a black rubber strap and a black Velcro alternative, both secured by a microblasted black PVD-coated steel pin buckle.

BR-03 Skeleton Grey Steel

In contrast, the BR-03 Skeleton Grey Steel presents a more luxurious interpretation. Housed in a polished and satin-finished steel case, it features a faceted openworked dial with ruthenium treatment. This model also includes Super-LumiNova-filled rhodium-plated hands and indexes. Limited to 250 pieces, it is delivered with both a black rubber strap and a Velcro strap, secured with a polished steel buckle.

BR-03 Skeleton Lum Ceramic

Completing the trilogy is the BR-03 Skeleton Lum Ceramic. This edition pushes the brand’s signature luminescence to a new level. By day, it maintains the aesthetic of a modern black ceramic timepiece. At night, it transforms through extensive Super-LumiNova application, highlighting the dial’s skeletonised structure with a neon-like effect. Like the Grey Steel version, it is limited to 250 pieces and comes with interchangeable straps and a microblasted black PVD-coated steel buckle.
