The BR-05, the new Bell & Ross icon, is now equipped with a chronograph movement, a mechanical complication perfectly adapted to the pace of urban life. Invented to measure and control short periods of time, this function is the best ally in quests that require mastering time.
The BR-05 chronograph belongs to a family of watches with a design that integrates the bracelet. Case and bracelet are fused into one cohesive piece, as Bruno Belamich, the brand's Creative Director, explains: " This type of design harks back to a category of watches that appeared in the 1970s and now, infused with Bell & Ross' signature identity, results in a modern and striking graphic style.” The angle of the bracelet has been carefully designed to follow the contours of the wrist, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.
The dial on the BR-05 chronograph also reveals its unique personality and ensures optimal legibility, thanks to its graphics and contrasts. Mid-way between a circle and a square, another subtle reference to the 1970s, the shape of its two snailed counters (a chronograph minute counter at 9 o'clock and small seconds at 3 o'clock), gives the new BR-05 a neo-retro look which in no way diminishes its modernity. Available in navy blue or jet black, the dials give each timepiece an urban and sporty style.
