Explore The Colorful Brilliance Of The New Bell & Ross BR-X5 Iridescent
The Bell & Ross BR-X5 Iridescent is a striking new take on the BR-X5 sports watch, first launched in 2021. This latest version stands out with its captivating iridescent dial, a design that mimics the optical phenomenon where light reflects various colours, as seen in soap bubbles. Depending on the angle of view and light exposure, the dial reveals shifting tones, particularly vibrant in blue, green, violet, and orange hues.
Housed in a 41mm stainless steel case, the BR-X5 retains its robust sports watch DNA. The case, with its wide bevels and square bezel secured by four screws, delivers a bold, industrial aesthetic. The back is similarly designed, with sapphire crystal on both sides of the case, ensuring a view of the movement while maintaining durability. The watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters, making it a versatile companion for both urban adventures and more rugged environments.
The iridescent effect on the dial is achieved through a meticulous process involving multiple layers of PVD coating. This colorful display is framed by a domed flange in the same hues, featuring Arabic numerals, applied indexes, and hands filled with Super-LumiNova X1 for enhanced visibility in low light. Additionally, the dial includes a date window positioned near the crown, styled like an altimeter, and a prominent round power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock, adding both functionality and visual interest.
Powered by the Kenissi-manufactured BR-CAL.323 automatic movement, the BR-X5 Iridescent is COSC certified, ensuring its accuracy and reliability. The movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers an impressive power reserve of up to 70 hours. The watch is available with two strap options: an integrated steel bracelet priced at €8,990, or a sleek white rubber strap for €8,500. Both options enhance the versatility of this unique timepiece, making it suitable for various occasions.
The BR-X5 Iridescent is a testament to Bell & Ross’s continued innovation in the world of luxury sports watches, blending technical precision with a dazzling, head-turning design.
