Bell & Ross Introduces The BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue With A “Cracked Crystal”
Bell & Ross has unveiled the stunning BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue, a limited-edition timepiece that masterfully blends bold design with refined craftsmanship. The watch’s standout feature is its eye-catching tinted sapphire crystal, which creates the illusion of a cracked surface, inspired by the frozen landscapes of Arctic waters. Far from being an imperfection, this intricate design detail is an artistic homage to the icy wilderness, perfectly complemented by the bluish tones of its openworked dial.
Encased in a 40mm square stainless steel case with rounded corners, the BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue exudes modern sophistication. Its case features a satin finish on its surfaces, contrasted by polished bevels and a raised bezel secured with four screws. The robust design is further accentuated by a screw-in crown with protective guards, ensuring 100 meters of water resistance. The watch also boasts an open case back, held in place by the same screw system, offering a glimpse of its intricate movement.
The metallic blue openworked dial showcases applied hour markers and hands filled with Super-LumiNova, ensuring legibility even in low-light conditions. At the heart of this timepiece lies the automatic BR-CAL.322-1 movement, based on the reliable Sellita SW300, which beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and delivers an impressive 54-hour power reserve.
Available in two variants, the BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue offers a choice between an integrated stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp or a white rubber strap. Limited to just 250 pieces, this exquisite watch is priced at €8,300 for the steel bracelet version and €7,800 for the rubber strap option.
With its unique design and premium features, the Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue is a must-have for watch enthusiasts who appreciate style and functionality.
