In watchmaking, lightweight and highly resistant ceramic has become a favourite material, accepted by most brands, such as Bell & Ross.

Inspired by aircraft instrument panels, the brand naturally gravitates towards offering timepieces crafted within ceramic, with a particular affinity for the distinctive aesthetic of black hard.
While black ceramic has been a staple in various B&R collections, it had yet to take centre stage in the BR 05 series, launched in 2019 and aimed to provide Bells & Ross enthusiasts with timepieces within the popular steel integrated bracelet sports category while retaining the signature design language of the iconic BR 03 collection.

As we anticipate young kids models with different functions to the BR05 Dark Ceramic line in the future, the actual models unveiled today consist of a time-and-date reference as well as two bones three-handers, sharing many common features.
The square case of the new BR05 Dark-colored Ceramic series measures 41mm in width and also 11. 2mm in thickness, slightly larger - by 1mm than other similar BR05 references in the collection. Bruno Belamich, the Creative Director along with co-founder associated with Bell and Ross, elaborated on this decision. The dark colour tends to visually shrink objects, forcing an adjustment in the case dimensions to maintain the particular pieces’ powerful presence.

The dials mark the key distinctions among the three brand new references. The particular BR 05 Black Porcelain, featuring a time and date display, boasts a glossy dark-colored sunburst watch dial. Rhodium-plated skeletonized hands plus baton charge, filled with white Super-LumiNova, emit a green shine in the dark. White-printed numerals accompany indices at 12, 6, and 9 o’clock, while the aperture in 3 o’clock showcases a white-colored date on a black-coloured disc. The brand’s logo and indications of automatic movement and even Swiss-made origin complete typically the dial-side information.
In contrast, often the BR 05 Skeleton African american Ceramic presents a see-thorugh, black-tinted dial adorned along with applied baton indices filled with Super-LumiNova. Typically the 12 o’clock position features a double index. The hands maintain regularity across the collection - skeletonized and fine luminescent for hours together with minutes and rhodium-plated for seconds. Through the dial, rhodium-plated movement components discreetly peep out, preserving Bell and also Ross’s favoured stealth-like aesthetic.
Lastly, the exact BR 05 Skeleton Black color Lum Ceramic’s semi-transparent switch is crafted from black smoked sapphire crystal. The applied indices are treated with C5 Super-LumiNova, appearing green throughout daylight as well as low-light conditions. The rhodium-plated skeletonized fingers receive a touch of the same high-shine green fluorescent material, ensuring visibility in all lighting environments.
For timekeeping, the time-and-date BR05 Charcoal Ceramic utilizes the automated calibre BR-CAL. 321 (based on the Sellita SW-300) together with approximately 54 hours regarding power reserve. Often the oscillating weight, adorned using decorative elements, is visible through the sapphire amazingly caseback. On the other hand, the two Bones references employ the calibre BR-CAL. 322, boasting comparable characteristics, including 54-hour autonomy and a frequency of 28, 800 vibrations/hour.
The BR 05 Ebony Ceramic and also BR 05 Skeleton Dark colored Ceramic tend to be permanent addendums to the collection. They come with an integrated matching band and a african american rubber strap, each secured with a metal folding buckle. In contrast, the very BR 05 Skeleton Black Lum Ceramic is a limited edition involving 500 pieces and exclusively features a black matte ceramic necklace.
