Expanding Horizons

IN THE WORLD OF WATCHMAKING, there are moments of sheer brilliance when a watch collection transcends its predecessors, harmoniously blending iconic design elements. Such is the case with the Bell & Ross BR 05 series, which debuted in 2019. This series seamlessly amalgamates the timeless charm of the square-shaped case with rounded corners, reminiscent of the revered BR 01 collection, and the distinguished Arabic numerals that have graced countless timepieces in the brand’s illustrious repertoire.

Since its inauguration, the BR 05 series has carved its own path, etching a distinctive name for itself among discerning watch aficionados. Over the past four years, the artisans at Bell & Ross have toiled, relentlessly expanding and elevating this remarkable series to new heights, endowed with unparalleled functions and captivating hues. Case in point: the new BR 05 GMT Sky Blue and BR 05 Chrono Alpine A523.

BR 05 GMT Sky Blue

While the BR 05 GMT isn’t necessarily new, the colour of the latest iteration gives the illusion of newness, breathing life into the signature silhouette and paying homage to the sky, intrinsic to the brand DNA, to boot.

“The sky is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. These two complementary spaces have been part of Bell & Ross’ DNA right from the start, a source of inspiration and creativity for the house. Bell & Ross, since its inception, have borrowed technicality and functionality from the world of aeronautics to create time instruments referencing on-board instruments,” professes Bell & Ross. “The new BR 05 GMT Sky Blue with its exclusive blue-tinted dial celebrates a coming-together of the azure sky and the blue planet.”
