Bell & Ross Expands Motorsport Collection With Limited Edition BR-X5 Racing

MRSTATELESS BELL & ROSS, NEW RELEASES 2024, Limited Edition 0

The Bell & Ross BR-X5 Racing, part of the brand’s expanding Motorsport-inspired collection, showcases a modern blend of precision and aesthetics, departing from its aviation-focused origins.

This limited edition timepiece comes in a 41mm by 12.80mm titanium case, designed with a robust three-layer sandwich construction. The case is crafted from Grade 2 microblasted titanium, featuring a central block in black DLC titanium, complete with crown guards and a screw-down crown at 3 o’clock. The bezel is square-shaped with rounded corners and secured by four screws, enhancing the watch’s industrial look, while a woven carbon fibre pattern and smoked sapphire glass add a futuristic touch. With an open case back and a water resistance of 100 meters, this watch seamlessly combines form and function.

The dial, a striking semi-skeletonized design, comes in grey tones, adding depth and sophistication to the overall aesthetic. It includes a domed 60-minute bezel, Arabic numerals, and hands filled with Super-LumiNova for enhanced legibility. The checkered minute and second scale, along with a vertical date window and a power reserve indicator styled like a fuel gauge with red and turquoise accents, injects a dynamic and sporty feel into the design.

At the heart of the BR-X5 Racing is the BR-Cal. 323 automatic movement developed by Kenissi, a COSC-certified movement that beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour. This movement ensures reliable performance with a 70-hour power reserve, offering exceptional precision and endurance.

Limited to just 500 units, the BR-X5 Racing is available with two strap options: a black rubber strap priced at €10,900 or a Grade 2 titanium bracelet at €11,900. Both versions feature a folding clasp in the same material as the case, rounding off the premium feel of this Motorsport-inspired masterpiece.

Bell & Ross Elevates Flight Instruments Series With BR-03 Horizon

MRSTATELESS BELL & ROSS, NEW RELEASES 2024, Limited Edition, Pilot Watch 0

The Bell & Ross BR-03 Horizon is the latest addition to their Flight Instruments Series, drawing on aviation design while offering a fresh and refined take on its predecessor, the BR-01 Horizon from 2012. The most noticeable difference is the case size, reduced from 46mm to a more wearable 41mm, and the new color scheme, which introduces blue, black, white, and orange tones.

The watch’s aviation-inspired dial, modeled after a gyroscopic navigation instrument, offers an appealing blend of function and style. The sky blue and black dial provides the background for the red-orange horizon line, while the rotating center and distinctive hand designs (including the triangle hour indicator and striped seconds hand) add to the aviation theme.

Housed in a square black ceramic case, the micro-blasted finish and characteristic four-screw design at the corners give it a robust, instrument-like aesthetic. It also features solid water resistance (100m) and comes with both a black rubber strap and an orange nylon strap with Velcro, making it versatile for different settings.

Inside, the BR-03 Horizon is powered by the BR-CAL.327, based on the reliable Sellita SW300-1 movement, offering a power reserve of 54 hours and an operating frequency of 28,800 Vph.

Limited to just 999 units, this watch has a retail price of €4,900, making it an attractive option for those who appreciate aviation-inspired timepieces with a modern edge.

Carlos Rosillo Discusses The Future Of Bell & Ross At Watches And Wonders

MRSTATELESS BELL & ROSS 2024, Watches and Wonders 2024 0

During Watches and Wonders 2024, we had the pleasure of speaking with Carlos Rosillo, CEO of Bell & Ross. Here are some key insights from our conversation.

Bell & Ross at Watches and Wonders 2024

Carlos emphasizes the brand’s new mantra, “Black is the new black,” highlighted by the introduction of the BR05 Black Ceramic, the BR05 Skeleton Black Ceramic, and the BR05 Skeleton Black Lum Ceramic. For more details, you can follow the link.

Interview with Carlos Rosillo

1. Bell & Ross returned to Watches and Wonders this year to present several new watches, while many in the industry are downsizing. What is the reason for this approach?

Carlos Rosillo:

“Watches and Wonders is one of the biggest and most important events in the watchmaking industry, bringing together professionals and key players in one place. We needed to showcase most of our 2024 collections. As you might know, it can be challenging to meet with every professional throughout the year to present our latest launches. This year, Bell & Ross focused on elevating the brand through the use of new technical materials. There is no better way to illustrate our objectives than by highlighting our 2024 novelties. Additionally, attending such an event allows us to gather valuable feedback on our collection and understand its reception in the industry from both consumers’ and competitors’ perspectives. This feedback is a significant advantage for our brand.”

2. What do you envision for the future of Bell & Ross, both in terms of product innovation and brand expansion?

Carlos Rosillo:

“Our plan for the coming years is to strengthen our pillars, particularly the BR-X5 range. We aim to develop our international presence and maintain our iconic models (BR 03) and best-sellers (BR 05) to meet customer expectations. Since 2016, with the BR-X1 Chronographe Tourbillon Saphir, we have been expanding our Haute Horlogerie range by combining prestigious horological complications, technical performance, and our signature design codes. In 2024, we aim to elevate the brand by offering more manufactured timepieces. This year can be summed up with our focus on ceramic for the 05 collection and the new publicity campaign ‘Black is the new Black.”

3. The luxury watch market has evolved significantly over the years. How does Bell & Ross stay relevant and adapt to changing consumer preferences?

Carlos Rosillo:

“This year, we realized that the most important characteristics of the high-end watch industry are, and always will be, creativity and the introduction of exceptional materials into exceptional design. We design accessories that enhance our customers’ identity and complement their style, offering the brand enormous creative possibilities for the future. Our functional, minimalist design gives our timepieces a timeless character that spans generations. We focus on the essentials, resulting in an obvious design. We renew and evolve our iconic ranges to complement existing collections, enabling us to reach new customers too.”

Conclusion

Bell & Ross continues to innovate and expand its presence in the luxury watch market by focusing on creativity, exceptional materials, and timeless design. With their new collections and strategic vision, they are well-positioned to meet the evolving preferences of their customers and the broader industry. The commitment to elevating the brand and maintaining its iconic models ensures that Bell & Ross remains a significant player in the watchmaking world.

Introducing The New Bell & Ross BR 03 White Steel & Gold

MRSTATELESS BELL & ROSS, NEW RELEASES 2024, Watches and Wonders 2024 0

After the full steel “dress” versions in the BR 03 instrument collection, Bell & Ross is now giving it a new twist with the arrival of a new two-tone watch that combines steel and gold.

Launched in 2006, the BR 03 collection appears as an alternative to the BR 01 collection with a smaller 42mm case that took almost two decades to be reformulated again in 2023, changing to a 41mm bevelled case and an upgrade of the movement with more capability.

So, the new rookie comes dressed in the traditional square case with a round dial and screws on each corner, which here comes with dimensions of 41mm by 9.40mm, featuring a brushed finish on the surfaces and polished on the slopes, 18k rose gold bezel that matches the fluted crown at 3 o’clock, sapphire glass, solid case back which, like the front, also comes fixed with four screws and 100m of water resistance.

The opaline white dial features 18k rose gold hands filled with beige Super-LumiNova, applied gold-tone hour markers and Arabic numerals, a tiny round date window at 4:30 and a painted black minute track that works with the centre seconds hand.

Inside is the BR-Cal 302 automatic movement based on the Sellita SW300-1 that operates at 28,800 Vph and offers up to 54 hours of power reserve.

The new “chic” watch is attached to a brown calfskin leather strap with a steel pin buckle, joining directly into the brand’s permanent collection which can now be purchased at the brand’s official boutiques and authorized retailers for a price of €6,900.

During Watches And Wonders, Bell & Ross presented four new watches in the BR05 collection, one in two tones and the other in black ceramic, which is an absolute debut in that line.

BR05 Chrono Steel & Gold

Starting with the new BR05 Chrono in Steel & Gold is very similar to the limited edition released in 2022, wearing a 42mm case that comes with a satin finish, rose gold bezel matching the central links of the integrated bracelet, sapphire crystal, fluted crown at 3 o’clock flanked by guards and two angled pushers.

The grey dial comes with a sunburst effect, where we can find two registers with golden frames at 3 and 9 o’clock to match the applied Arabic numerals at 6 and 12 o’clock and also the accents filled with Super-LumiNova and finally a date window at 4:30.

Inside, it comes equipped with the BR-Cal. 326 automatic movement that runs at a frequency of 4 Hz and offers up to 60 hours of power reserve.

The watch comes attached to a steel and gold bracelet with a folding clasp or a black rubber strap with stripes.

BR05 Black Ceramic

The other three news, as already mentioned, come for the first time in a black ceramic case and among them are the new BR05 Black Ceramic, the BR05 Skeleton Black Ceramic and the BR05 Skeleton Black Lum Ceramic.

The three new watches come in a 41mm wide by 11.20mm thick case, sapphire crystal, screw-down crown flanked by guards and 100m water resistance.

On the dial, the BR05 Black Ceramic comes with a black sunburst background with applied Arabic numerals and hour markers that, like the hands, come filled with Super-LumiNova and a date window next to the crown. The two BR05 Skeleton Black Ceramic come with openwork dials with three centre hands that, like the baton hour markers, are filled with luminescent material, with the BR05 Skeleton Black Lum Ceramic distinguishing by coming with C5 Super-LumiNova in the indexes it gives a green tone during the day and in reduced light conditions.

Inside, the three watches come equipped with similar automatic movements, with the BR05 Black Ceramic with the BR-CAL.321 and the two skeletonized with the BR-CAL.322, which operate at 28,800 Vph and offer up to 54 hours of power reserve.

Bell & Ross Presents The New BR 03 Cyber Ceramic

MRSTATELESS BELL & ROSS, NEW RELEASES 2024 0

Bell & Ross announces the arrival of the new BR 03 Cyber Ceramic, a watch with a contemporary look that combines the lightness and resistance of ceramic.

The French watchmaker decided to combine the iconic design of the BR 03 line with the graphic and futuristic codes of the Cyber collection and the result is clearly visible in the new BR 03 Cyber Ceramic.

Inspired by the fuselage of modern stealth aircraft, the 42mm by 43.70mm black ceramic case comes with sharp angular edges, whose lightness of the material hides the hardness of the material. Anti-reflective sapphire crystal on the front and back, octagonal crown engraved with the brand’s signature and 50m water resistance.

On the skeletonized dial we can see anthracite faceted bridges that connect the different elements of the movement in silver, gold and pink tones, two centre hands that are filled with grey Super-LumiNova that glows green in the dark, and stick-shape hour markers, which like the brand’s logo at noon, is painted in glossy black on the surface of the dial’s glass.

It is the BR-Cal.383 automatic movement that brings the watch to life, operating at 28,800 Vph and offering 2 days of power reserve.

The watch comes attached to a black rubber strap with a steel buckle that comes with black PVD to match the case.

The watch should soon be available in the brand’s official boutiques and authorized retailers. The price is not yet known, but as soon as the information becomes available we will make an update.
