Bell & Ross Unveils the Limited Edition BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue
Bell & Ross, the iconic watchmaker renowned for its aviation-inspired timepieces, has launched its latest creation: the BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue. This exclusive 250-piece limited edition embodies the brand’s unique blend of technical precision and artistic design, drawing inspiration from the mesmerizing landscapes of the Arctic.
Inspired by the Polar North
The Arctic’s icy beauty forms the core inspiration for the BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue. Bruno Belamich, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Bell & Ross, aimed to capture the glacial hues of polar regions through a delicate and subtle blue dial, evocative of frozen expanses. The dial’s design mimics cracked ice, achieved using laser engraving and pad printing techniques on a blue-tinted glass plate. White etched lines add depth and detail, creating a frosted, lifelike effect that gives the illusion of flying over a frozen lake.
A Showcase of Craftsmanship
The BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue doesn’t just capture the Arctic’s color palette; it embodies its transparency and light-diffusing properties. The skeletonized dial reveals the intricate BR-CAL.322-1 automatic movement, allowing light to pass through the crystalline layers. This interplay of transparency and mechanics highlights the artistry behind Bell & Ross’ watchmaking. The 40mm steel case, with its alternating polished and satin finishes, enhances the overall frosty aesthetic, while a sapphire case-back offers a glimpse of the 360° oscillating weight.
Functionality Meets Elegance
As part of the urban-inspired BR-05 line, this timepiece balances sporty elegance and practicality. It features a 54-hour power reserve, 100-meter water resistance, and options for a polished steel bracelet or a white rubber strap. Bell & Ross’ signature “circle within a square” design ensures the watch stands out, marrying modern aesthetics with the timeless appeal of integrated case-and-bracelet construction.

With only 250 pieces available, the BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue is a collector’s dream. True to its exclusivity, this timepiece is available solely through Bell & Ross boutiques and its online e-boutique, ensuring its place as a coveted masterpiece for discerning watch enthusiasts.
