Bell & Ross has announced the addition of the stainless steel and rose gold combination model "BR 05 Black Steel and Gold" to the new case "BR 05" released last year. Stainless steel and rose gold combination models have been released by various brands recently. This combination model was popular in the United States and Japan in the 80s, but at the time stainless steel and yellow gold were the norm. However, this season's model uses rose gold, enhancing the vintage feel.
(Photo right) Automatic (BR-Cal.321). 28,800 vph. Power reserve approximately 40 hours. Stainless steel (diameter 40mm). 18KPG bezel. 100m water resistant. 1.2 million yen (excluding tax).
The BR05 looks the smallest in the BR series
The BR series is available in three sizes: the 46mm BR01, the 42mm BR03, and the 39mm BRS. The BR05 has a thick bezel and a small dial, making it appear the smallest of the BR series. Another distinctive feature of the BR05 is the lugs that are integrated into the case. While many Bell & Ross designs are positioned as aviation-influenced tool watches, the BR05 is the only one positioned as part of the Urban Collection, a series aimed at city dwellers.
The watch is powered by the BR-CAL.321 movement. It features a ruthenium-coated rotor that rotates 360 degrees, and the sapphire crystal case back is engraved with the brand logo in metallized. The geometric 40mm case and bracelet, which skillfully uses flat surfaces and angles, are designed to fit even the slenderest wrists. The bracelet, made of 18k rose gold or two materials - satin-finished and polished steel - is perfect for elegant occasions, while the black rubber version exudes a sporty chic atmosphere.
