Description

A next-gen sporting instrument

The design and technical characteristics of the BR-X5 make this model the next generation of the sporty BR 05 and position it as a superlative BR 05. It is powered by the BR-CAL.323 automatic caliber, a prestigious manufacture movement designed by Kenissi, enabling the new BR-X5 collection to reach new heights of precision. Furthermore, the architecture of its multi-component case allows for purity and radicalism, lightness, and resistance.

Discreet when viewed from the front, the radical construction of the BR-X5 reveals itself when turned on its side, leaving the wearer to marvel at the elaborate architecture of the case middle. The entire 41 mm wide case is airtight by four screws, secured through the bezel.

In a first for Bell & Ross, the automatic movement powering the X5 is formally COSC certified whereupon the Swiss Official Chronometer Control Body grants it the name Chronometer, a guarantee of great precision. With this new BR-CAL.323 manufacture calibre, the brand values precision and reliability more than ever. Both the movement and the case are guaranteed for five years – something that lovers of beautiful mechanical watches will appreciate.

The BR‑X5 stands out from the BR 05 by its movement and its functions which are displayed in the dial. The latter features a large-aperture date window positioned at 3 o’clock and a circle-shaped power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock. The latter, divided into three thirds, allows you to control the autonomy of your watch. These features give the BR‑X5 a new face and its visual identity.
