Bell & Ross have become synonymous with a utilitarian aesthetic, infusing their aviation-inspired timepieces with flawless functionality. With the launch of the BR05 collection, Bell & Ross has changed course. Nodding to its predecessors with the ubiquitous juxtaposition of a square case with round face, design tweaks are otherwise softened. A new aesthetic presents a more streamlined silhouette; edges are rounded and, in a Seventies-inspired move, the bracelet is seamlessly integrated into the case. As geometry clashes, so does texture – smooth satin-finished surfaces jar with a polished bezel, an amalgamation that repeats down the steel bracelet to present a unified whole.
The satin-finished surfaces on the BR05 are perfectly flat
The dial of the BR05 is available in silver grey, navy blue or deep black
The BR05 Skeleton, available in an edition of 500 pieces, showcases the BR.CAL-322 movement designed by Bell & Ross
