The elegance of the BR 05 is further exemplified by Bell Ross as a statement piece in green and gold
RICHARD AUGUSTIN
Gold Rush

IT'S BEEN FOUR YEARS since the world was introduced to the BR 05. Debuting in 2019. the model served as more of an evolution than a departure for Bell & Ross. It was a decisive step forward for the brand, one that would solidify Bell & Ross as more than a maker of tool watches.

That said, the BR 05 still retained a strong visual identity that was forged through its military and aviation-styled watches. The circle in the square, which is representative of Bell & Ross, was retained, albeit with some updated tweaks that took inspiration from the world of design and architecture.

Credit has to be given to the watchmaker for retaining its iconic design language while offering the BR 05 a new and captivating aesthetic. With an integrated bracelet tied directly to the case, the BR 05 cuts a streamline and sleek figure. The curves of the polished bezel have been softened to complement the brushed steel lugs.
