It was an evening that the attending media and even the Klang Valley ‘who is who’ will remember as Bell & Ross unveiled their latest elegant timepiece, the BR05. The BR05 looks like a mature BR03 with its slimmed down sides and has shared elements with the classy looking Bell & Ross Royal Oak.
The BR05 comes in five variants – each available with a rubber strap or steel bracelet. The BR05 with the blue-dial is the one piece that stands out and will probably be the most popular. For a little more uniqueness, the BR05 also comes with a skeleton dial which allows you to see the movement and the inner workings of a Bell & Ross time piece.
Each BR05 powered by the solid and reliable BR-CAL.321. automatic movement and the see it all skeleton BR05 uses a slightly modified BR-CAL.322 movement.
Bell & Ross might be shying away from its military heritage in design, or taking a cooler approach to designs that work nicely with a tuxedo, or they might just be extending the professional watch making and design know how to reach an audience that has never considered a Bell & Ross.
