Bell & Ross cites motorsports as the design inspiration behind the new BR-X5 Racing, although we confess the name clued us in before seeing the press release. As you can conclude from the visual evidence, the keywords here are performance, durability, readability and lightness. These are the very words the brand literally used, and we have to say that the BR-X5 could be a code that unifies all four words. Cleverly, the Racing watch is also a racer’s take on the pilot’s watch, thus unifying two of Bell & Ross’ muses. Basically, this is a fast watch that wants to go fast, and it looks like it has what it takes to achieve liftoff from your wrist. Ok, lyricism aside, let us address the nuts and bolts here – like the BR-X5 that debuted a couple years ago this is a time-only ticker with date and power reserve indicator.
