The BR05 series, launched in 2019, combines the four design principles strictly adhered to by Bell & Ross: legibility, functionality, durability and reliability, and precision. The appearance exudes an urban fashion style. The round and square case is integrated into one, continuing the brand's simple geometric aesthetics and neatness.

The beauty of King Kong

Looking back to the 1970s, the watch market, especially the United States, was very fond of gold-steel and metal bracelet watches. The trend at that time also made sports watches very popular, and the trend continues to this day. It is a wise move for Bell & Ross to put a gold steel coat on the BR 05 series. This is not the first time that the BR 05 series has introduced a gold steel style. The BR 05 Chrono Edición Limitada model, which will be launched in 2022, is designed with a gold steel case and bracelet. I believe collectors will still be impressed by Xia Wanna’s cigar-colored dial.

The distinctive personality of the Bell & Ross brand is reflected in the design aesthetics of the watch. The new BR 05 Gray Steel & Gold is naturally characterized by a two-color bimetal combination. The 42mm steel case is waterproof to 100 meters and is frosted and polished to highlight the beauty of the architectural lines. Equipped with an 18K rose gold bezel and central link, the ruthenium-plated dial is bright and shiny, with a minute timer at 3 o'clock, a small seconds dial at 9 o'clock, and a calendar window at 4:30.

The white hands and hour markers are treated with luminous material to enhance the color contrast and light effect, and ensure that the hours, minutes, date and timing can be clearly displayed; the outer frames of the two small counters and the 12 and 6 numbers of Bell & Ross special characters are Rose gold material and inlaid on the dial. The crown and timing buttons are integrated into the outline of the case, adding elegant touches without any fancy details, maintaining a simple and beautiful look.

Chic design

The chain strap and case of the BR 05 Chrono Gray Steel & Gold are integrated into a contemporary style. Bruno Belamich, creative director of Bell & Ross, emphasized that the design of the watch must take into account both practical functions and legibility: "The case and strap are integrated, with The shadow of the representative model of the 70s is transplanted to Bell & Ross, and it has an eye-catching fashion taste. "

The rose gold steel bracelet is integrated with the case, and can also be replaced with a black rubber strap to instantly change the appearance and add a dynamic style.
