Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon Honeygold ‘Lumen’


The Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon Honeygold ‘Lumen’ (Ref. 740.055FE/ LSLS7406AA) is a 50-piece, 18K gold alloy limited edition watch that comes with ‘Lumen’ technology, which is responsible for bringing all displays and functions to life in the dark. Further, the semitransparent (made of sapphire) skeleton dial combines three complications—a flyback chronograph, a perpetual calendar, and a tourbillon with a stop-seconds mechanism. Also, one can see the outsize date window at 12 o’clock. Powering the 41.5mm watch is the manually wound Calibre L952.4, boasting a 50-hour reserve. A brow n al l igator leather strap complements the case.

Price: Upon request

BELL & ROSS
The BR-05 Collection

Making a debut in the brand's high-resistance ceramic and favourite colour, the new BR-05 creations also appear in 41mm diameter for the first time. The three new watches in the line include the BR-05 Black Ceramic, BR-05 Skeleton Black Ceramic, and BR-05 Skeleton Black Lum Ceramic, a 500-piece limited edition—the first two models are finished with a satin polish and feature SuperLumiNova' that glows green, while the third has a matte finish on its case as well as on the bracelet and dial, with green C5 SuperLumiNova'. The BR-05 Black Ceramic features a black dial with Arabic numerals and markers, along with a date window at 3 o'clock—the watch is equipped with automatic Calibre BR-CAL.321-1. The other two timepieces entail a skeleton dial with rhodium-plated automatic mechanical Calibre BR-CAL.322-1; both calibres have a 54-hour power reserve.

Price: The BR-05 Black Ceramic is priced at ₹6,90,000 (approx.), the BR-05 Skeleton Black Lum Ceramic at ₹8,60,000 (approx.) and the BR-05 Skeleton Black Ceramic at ₹8,90,000 (approx.).
