Bell & Ross BR 05 Skeleton Golden automatic gold-tinted transparent dial rubber strap 40 mm

Mechanical architecture

Specializing in aeronautical timepieces, Bell & Ross has surprised 2019 with the BR 05, an urban collection with an audacious design. Its integrated case and bracelet merge into a unique silhouette. The Skeleton version, revealing the beating heart of the watch, was a real success. Since its steel launch in 2019, it has been available in several colors: Skeleton Blue in 2020, a Skeleton NightLum in 2021 and a Skeleton Green in 2022.

The golden hue of the dial on the new Golden version brings another look to the Bell & Ross BR 05 Skeleton. Urban and racy, the skeletonized version of the BR 05 urban-chic collection marks its territory and adds a new colorful, refined and precious nuance to its proposals. A jewel of watchmaking but also of style.

An integrated case

The case of the Bell & Ross BR 05 Skeleton Golden, 40 mm in diameter, embodies technical perfection. Made of stainless steel, it features the brand's iconic “round in a square” design. The fixed, satin-finished bezel, held in place by four screws, frames an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, offering optimum visibility of the dial. The carefully beveled middle ensures a smooth transition between the bezel and the lugs. The screw-down caseback, also in sapphire, reveals the beating heart of the movement and guarantees 100-meter water-resistance, ideal for everyday use. With a thickness of just 5.45 mm, this watch combines robustness and finesse, testifying to Bell & Ross' watchmaking expertise.

A transparent dial

The dial of the BR 05 Skeleton Golden is a true invitation to contemplation. Its delicately galvanized golden flange diffuses amber light with hints of honey, creating a voluptuous impression. The gold-plated, bathtub-shaped applique hour-markers add a touch of sophistication. The skeletonized hands, also coated with Super-LumiNova®, seem to float above the movement, creating a sensation of lightness. This transparency of the dial accentuates the depth of field and reveals the complexity of the skeletonized movement. Every detail, from the upper bridge to the finishing of the plate, has been meticulously crafted to offer a breathtaking visual spectacle

A skeletonized movement

The center of attention is naturally the movement, which appears transparently and through contrasting effects, beneath the colored surface of the dial that acts like a filter in photography... A watchmaking mechanism that brings the watch to life.

In keeping with Bell & Ross' creative signature, the plate and upper bridge of this movement, built in bead-blasted ruthenium, have benefited from cutting work respecting an architectural and graphic plan. This original, modernist skeletonization deliberately eschews baroque decorative effects in favor of a linear, geometric approach.

Amber rubber strap

The rubber strap of the BR 05 Skeleton Golden is designed to offer optimal comfort on the wrist. Its perfect integration with the case ensures a smooth, natural transition. Its amber color blends perfectly with the golden hue of the dial. The bracelet's supple, resistant material, combined with a secure folding clasp, guarantees a perfect fit in all circumstances.

Urban chic

With its skeletonized movement revealed, the BR 05 Skeleton Golden seduces lovers of fine watchmaking. Aesthetes, sensitive to the purity of its lines and the finesse of its details, will find it a showcase for their passion. This watch embodies a timeless elegance, blending technicality and minimalism, to fit naturally into the everyday life of a modern lifestyle.

With this new BR 05 Skeleton, the company once again goes beyond the watchmaking reinterpretation of technical instruments inspired by the world of aeronautics. The BR 05 collection, with its distinctive, contemporary proportions and lines, offers a new reading of the complex equation between technology and aesthetics. This new timepiece is offered in a limited edition of 500 pieces.
