The next generation of sporting instrumentation
Forged from carbon fiber and aerospace grade titanium, the design and technical characteristics of the BR-X5 make this Limited Edition the next generation of the sporty Bell & Ross BR 05 and position it as a truly superlative BR 05. And in a first for Bell & Ross, it is equipped with the BR-CAL.323 caliber, a prestigious manufacture movement designed by Kenissi, enabling the X5 to reach new heights of precision. A multi-material version combining carbon and titanium, this limited-edition watch reaches the highest levels of lightness and robustness. Mounted on an orange rubber strap, the BR-X5 Carbon Orange stands out with its powerful and avant-garde style.
Discreet when viewed from the front, the radical construction of the BR-X5 reveals itself when turned on its side, leaving the wearer to marvel at the elaborate architecture of the case middle. The entire 41 mm wide case is airtight by four screws, secured through the bezel.
The automatic movement powering the X5 is formally COSC certified whereupon the Swiss Official Chronometer Control Body grants it the name 'Chronometer,' a guarantee of great precision. With this new BR-CAL.323 manufacture calibre, the brand values precision and reliability more than ever. Both the movement and the case are guaranteed for five years – something that lovers of beautiful mechanical watches will appreciate.
The BR‑X5 stands out from the BR 05 by its movement and its functions which are displayed in the dial. The latter features a large-aperture date window positioned at 3 o’clock and a circle-shaped power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock. The latter, divided into three thirds, allows you to control the autonomy of your watch. These features give the BR‑X5 a new face and its visual identity.
