Bell & Ross has unveiled its latest creation the new BR-X5, combining the heritage of the brand with new innovation and technology.

Since its debut in 2019, the BR 05 collection has become one of the key pillars for the watchmaker, providing urban-focused design in a unique geometric way. With this new stylish watch, the brand elevates the original design to a new level that combines elegance with a sporty edge.

 

 

The BR-X5 is powered by a manufacture movement manufactured by Kenissi and measures 41mm in diameter with a thickness of 12.8mm. The case has evolved and elevated, pushing the edge of creativity forward.

 

 

Featuring a sandwich-type construction, the timepiece’s precise facets and highly considered cuts feature a streamlined lightness and industrial resistance. The multi-layer construction of the watch at first appears discreet but from the side the hollowed-out architecture of the case middle is captivating, revealing a technical construction that optimizes lightness without compromising on utility or water resistance.

 

The different polished, satin-brushed and micro-blasted finishes throughout the case highlight the lines and surfaces of the design and ensure the successful completion of this watchmaking puzzle.

 

 

While forward-looking in its sophistication, the modern watch remains in line with the familiar attitudes which have helped define Bell & Ross, being perfectly balanced in its elevation by its versatility. Throughout the design, a sense of sportiness and practical reliability carry through, these sentiments are provided by both its steel construction and as well as an integrated design between the case and matching steel bracelet or open-worked rubber strap.

 

 

The dial features a smart stylish design making it a highly refined expression of the original urban instrument shape. Available in two colourways— black and ice blue— each option represents two sides of the brand’s appeal.
