The instrumental BR05 is re-cast in a stealthy new ceramic case

This strong dashboard-inspired piece sports the brand's iconic black colour and is crafted from ceramic – a technical material known for its robustness.

Black alters our perception of dimensions. To counteract this optical effect and amplify the powerful impact of the timepieces, Creative Director and co-founder of Bell & Ross, Bruno Belamich, increased the dimensions slightly, thereby creating the first BR 05 auto self-winding models to feature a 41-mm case.

Bell & Ross has opted for ceramic, a robust material that guarantees the resilience of its watches. Resistant to corrosion and scratches, ceramic makes watches scratch-proof and timeless. Harder than steel but more lightweight, it is also hypoallergenic for optimal comfort. Thanks to the self-winding mechanical movement, the calibre BR-CAL.321-1, Bell & Ross guarantees a 54-hour power reserve.

Inspired by aircraft instrument panels, this collection embodies the brand's values of legibility and robustness. It skilfully combines minimalism, design and modernity.
