BR 05 GMT: Flight

With this new BR 05 dual time zone, Bell & Ross offers a more urban interpretation of travel and time. The dynamism of the lounges, the bustle of the departure hall, the notice boards are the setting for globetrotters on the move. They land in different capitals, connect to different time zones, keep in mind multiple temporalities. The road is the road to heaven and leads to new directions and life experiences.

For Men on the Move

The BR 05 GMT was created with respect to its gentle solidity. Its proportions are large but measured. It is manly without showing its strength. It alternates between curves and strong lines. It is robust without being abrupt. It is a fluid, flexible object. While the functional approach is assured by the omnipresence of the brand's DNA, the BR 05 is an instrumental watch, a true jewel of strength embodying the idea of the contemporary man. This watch with a strong personality is dedicated to men on the move who make the city their playground and adventure. A distinctive design inspired by the world of professional tools designed for a specific mission. An elegant and ergonomic steel timepiece. A motor set to two time zones. These are the codes of this instrument for the urban explorer. The BR 05 GMT is the traveler's ally, accompanying him in the transition between different urban realities. It is the ultimate tool of the globetrotter.

An integrated design

The BR 05 belongs to the family of watches with an integrated strap. Its aesthetic line - a square steel case and round dial - perfectly reflects the brand's architectural DNA. The bracelet merges with the case into a coherent whole. Its articulated links are exemplary in their flexibility, almost as much as the black rubber strap, also available. Special attention to the radius of curvature allows for the perfect alignment of all components, making the bracelet ideally suited to any type of wrist. Sculpted in steel, the BR 05 catalyzes the energy of the city and all its possibilities. With this feature, the urban meets the desire to escape. Steel echoes the mineral atmosphere of airport hangars, concrete, metal, contrasting surfaces, white lights and graphic signs. For its integrated design, robust comfort and meticulous finishes, the BR 05 is the faithful ally of an active, urban life.

Dual time: here and there

The BR 05 GMT is a combination of stainless and robust materials enclosing the finest Swiss watchmaking mechanics. Featuring an automatic caliber with GMT function, wound by a 360° oscillating weight, this model reveals the beating heart of its movement through a sapphire crystal caseback. The dial of the BR 05 is adorned with a sunray finish and offers optimal legibility. Its black color contrasts with the large white Super-LumiNova®-coated numerals, indexes and hands. This color combination is rooted in the Bell & Ross DNA. It echoes the colors used for aircraft instruments. The cockpits are dominated by black, avoiding reflections, and white, guaranteeing an incomparable reading. Intended to inform the traveler with the greatest clarity and precision, its graphics are as rigorous as those of airport clocks. Echoing the principles of airport signage, the metal hour and minute hands are skeletonized. The GMT hand is distinguished here by its red arrow. The white, black and red colors - symbolic of Bell & Ross - ensure perfect legibility by day and night. While the white hands on the dial indicate the time at the location, the hand with the red arrow displays the time in the country of origin on the inner bezel with a 24-hour scale. For ease of reading, the black semicircle on the bezel corresponds to nighttime hours, the gray semicircle to daytime hours.

Mechanical side

This BR 05 GMT watch is powered by the automatic GMT BR-CAL.325 movement, built from a Sellita base. This caliber is highly decorated to be seen through the transparent case back. A 360-degree skeletonized winding rotor gives the watch technical sensitivity while providing a view of the finishes underneath. The movement is a true tractor, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offering a 40-hour power reserve.
