Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Black Lum Ceramic, 41mm

The new BR-05 Skeleton Black Lum Ceramic in Montecristo Jewellers is in line with the Bell & Ross BR 05 family. This sporty-chic collection, launched in 2019, quickly became the second icon of the house. This contemporary collection takes up the emblematic design of Bell & Ross and its iconic feature—round within a square, inspired by a cockpit instrument. It offers more compact dimensions and angular lines, and it abandons the pilot’s gloves and helmet for the stylish jacket and sneakers of the young, trendy city dweller.

The technique of skeleton work magnifies the mechanism by cutting out the maximum material to reveal the essential. So, on the BR 05 Skeleton family, the calibre is left in full view: the transparent dial allows the mechanism to be seen in working mode. This watch exposes its mechanical heart: the BR-CAL-322 calibre, Swiss Made, with automatic winding.

The geartrain that drives it engages in a fascinating ballet. The movement and dial assembly are based on a complex construction: it consists of the watch mechanism covered with a black tinted crystal, then a flange housing the indexes, all magnified by sapphire crystal. The entity becomes a homogeneous unit that gains in depth. The sapphire crystal back makes it possible to admire the swinging of the oscillating weight with a design inspired by a sports car wheel trim. You can, therefore, enjoy and contemplate the mechanism from both sides of the watch.
