Bell & Ross "BR-X5" now features a meteorite dial.
Bell & Ross, known for its watches inspired by aviation instruments and embodying the concept of "from cockpit to wristwatch," released the "BR-X5" in 2022. This collection embodies the concept of an "Advanced Time Instrument" while also being designed for everyday wear. The case, which is integrated with either a bracelet or strap and features a multi-layered structure for a three-dimensional feel, and the dial, with a calendar display window at 3 o'clock showing both the previous and next day and a power reserve indicator at 9 o'clock, boasts a playful design that makes you want to wear it out and about in the city.
On August 27, 2026, the "BR-X5 Meteorite" was released as part of the BR-X5 lineup. This is the first Bell & Ross watch to feature a meteorite dial.

This dial uses Muonionalusta meteorite, discovered in 1906 in the Norrbotten region of northern Sweden. Estimated to have formed over approximately 45 billion years, this cosmic visitor's origins date back to roughly the same era as the solar system itself. Instead of being bonded to brass, the meteorite is carved directly into the dial, while the legs supporting the dial and the applied indices are directly attached to the meteorite. A thin layer of PVD coating ensures that the distinctive pattern known as the Widmanstätten structure can be enjoyed for a long time. Due to its mineral properties, this pattern is unique to each individual specimen and cannot be artificially reproduced.
The movement used remains the Kenissi automatic winding Cal. BR-CAL.323. It is a movement with practical specifications, including COSC-certified accuracy and a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. A 5-year international warranty is also included.
Two variations will be available: one with a stainless steel bracelet and another with a rubber strap. The former will cost 1,320,000 yen and the latter 1,254,000 yen (both including tax), and only 250 pieces will be sold in total for both variations.
