Meet the next evolution of Bell & Ross' aviation-inspired watches
Bell & Ross BR 01's square case juxtaposed with a round dial is one of the most recognisable modern watches today. Since its launch in 2005, it has undergone subtle cosmetic changes. The bezel subsequently taking on square shape with rounded corners in BR 05, the case's most contemporary interpretation—until now.
Meet the BR X5 with a steel case that measures 41mm in diameter with a thickness of 12.8mm. From the top, it's no different from the BR 05 but when viewed from the side, it reveals the technicality of the sandwich type construction of the case.
The dial keeps things interesting by opening the date counter to reveal three dates at once at 3 o'clock. Right opposite at 9 o'clock is a new power reserve indicator with three-day scale. While it is available in classic black, the icy blue is our dial of choice as it is not only unusual, it looks nothing like what we had seen before from Bell & Ross.
