Bell & Ross BR 05 Chrono

Faithful to the Maison's codes - legibility, functionality, reliability and precision - that have helped build Bell & Ross' reputation, the BR 05 collection is enriched with a new model equipped with chrono functions. A new Bell & Ross icon, this unprecedented BR 05 is powered by a self-winding mechanical movement, calibre BR-CAL.301 (based on ETA 2894-2). The lines of the 42 mm steel case combine the circle and the square, fundamental geometric figures that signify the brand's identity. The finishes of the BR 05 chronograph leave nothing to chance: satin-finished surfaces alternate pleasingly with polished bevels. This new chronograph is also equipped with an integrated bracelet (it is however also available with a rubber strap). "The case and bracelet are one and the same," explains Bruno Belamich, creative director of Bell & Ross. "This type of design refers to a type of watch that appeared in the 1970s. Its transposition into the Bell & Ross identity allows for a result that is at once striking, modern and graphic." The angle of attachment of the bracelet/strap, specially designed to fit each wrist, offers optimum comfort in any situation. The dial of the BR 05 Chrono, available in blue or black, offers optimal legibility, thanks in part to the luminescent treatment with SuperLuminova of the hands and indices. Halfway between round and square, another veiled reference to the 1970s, the shape of the two counters (for the chronograph minutes at 9 o'clock and for the small ones at 3 o'clock) gives the new BR 05 a neo-retro character, which nevertheless does not detract from its modernity. Water resistance is guaranteed up to a pressure of 10 atmospheres.
