Round-UpFrom Complications To Diamonds: The Many Sides Of The Bell & Ross Urban BR 05 Series

The Bell & Ross Urban BR 05 collection has witnessed remarkable progress since its debut in 2019. The series brims with integrated luxury sports watches that borrow much from the brand’s heritage and yet remain contemporary in their compositions. Moving forward with this approach has allowed Bell & Ross to be inspired by their military and aviation influences and combine them with present-day horology that resonates with the urban lifestyle. The series promises impeccable legibility, functionality, and precision. Instantly recognisable now, the round-within-a-square case offers the BR 05 timepieces their individuality. The bracelet, the first link of which is also an element of the case, melds with the body to create a unified piece. The striking details of the BR 05 watches demand attention instantly, with angular cases featuring satin-finished surfaces, while the polished edges elevate their aesthetic beauty. From chronographs to skeleton watches and diamond watches, it is a collection that remains inventive and diversified at each turn of time.

The Bell & Ross Urban BR 05 Automatic: Urban Slick

The Urban BR 05 Automatic watches boast a classic design appeal achieved through various materials and dial shades. With a date window at three o’clock—a standard for this range—these BR 05 timepieces come packed inside 40mm cases in steel or gold, or a combination of steel and gold—all water-resistant up to 100m. Black, grey, blue, brown, and green are some dial options that are available in this series, and they are complemented by bracelets in the case material or rubber straps.

The colour of the rubber strap matches the shade of the dial, rendering a visual consistency. While the grey-dial BR 05 Automatic has been flanked with a black rubber strap, unlike other dial shades, the BR 05 Green Gold chooses a green alligator leather strap over a rubber one. This series is driven by the BR-CAL.321 automatic movement that achieves a 38-hour power reserve.

The Bell & Ross Urban BR 05 Chronograph: Urban Complication

The Urban BR 05 Chronograph series presents sporty and chic timepieces with sophisticated technical capabilities.

Originally available in blue or black, the chronograph range now includes dial options in green, white, and brown. The automatic calibre BR-CAL.326, with a power reserve of around 60 hours, runs these watches.
