Introducing Bell & Ross Unveils the BR-X5 Racing Edition

Bell & Ross is distinguished by its unique character that blends functional and practical design, drawing inspiration from the worlds of aviation and the military. Founded in 1992, the company aims to produce high-quality watches that reflect the precision of Swiss watchmaking. Bell & Ross watches are characterized by their distinctive geometric shapes, offering a variety of collections. Among these is the chronograph collection, which includes the "BR 05 Chrono A523," released in collaboration with the “Alpine” team before their partnership ended. The BR-X5 collection also features the "Black titanium" watch, and now the company releases “BR-X5 Racing” from the same collection, inspired by the world of racing and influenced by the "Aero GT" car.

The watch showcases a 41mm case and is 12.8mm thick, blending lightweight titanium with resilient carbon fiber to strike a perfect balance between comfort and durability. The sophisticated construction features a modular design composed of two sandblasted grade 2 titanium plates surrounding a robust black DLC titanium monobloc container, which securely houses the movement and integrates the screw-down crown shoulders. The bezel, adorned with a woven carbon fiber decoration, enhances its technical appeal, while the sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating protects both the dial and case back, boasting 100m water resistance.

The BR-X5 Racing dial is a captivating homage to motorsport, marrying functionality with sleek design. Its smoked sapphire base reveals the intricate movement beneath while being elegantly framed by a matte black seconds track. The large luminescent numerals and black hour and minute hands with white Super-LumiNova coating ensure optimal visibility, even in low light. The central second hand has a red tip, flanked by a 60-minute track on the inner flange. Practical elements like the date window at 3 o’clock and a power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock, designed to resemble a fuel gauge, further enhance its racing-inspired allure, making it a perfect blend of style and performance.

The Bell & Ross calibre BR-CAL.323 is an automatic movement expertly crafted by Kenissi and certified as a COSC chronometer, guaranteeing exceptional precision and reliability. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz), it incorporates a sophisticated balance wheel that contributes to its stability and accuracy. It offers an impressive 70-hour power reserve.

The watch comes with a sandblasted grade 2 titanium bracelet or a durable black rubber strap. Both options are secured with a sophisticated folding clasp. This limited edition is available in only 500 pieces, priced at USD 11,800 equivalent to AED 43,300 for the titanium bracelet and USD 10,800 equivalent to AED 39,600 for the rubber strap.
