A limited edition of 250 pieces

Dive into the cold blue waters of the Arctic with the new BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue. Inspired by the beauty of the frozen landscapes of the North Pole, it reveals the finesse of its mechanical movement through its skeletonized design. A watch that is anything but cold. The unique BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue is a limited edition of 250 pieces.

Bell & Ross has previously used a blue color in its BR-X5 Ice Blue watch. Now, Bruno Belamich, Creative Director and Co-Founder, revisits this inspiration with the new BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue, featuring a carefully chosen shade of blue to mimic Arctic ice.

The BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue features a striking dial that appears sophisticated and unique. Its design mimics the look of cracked ice, suggesting the view of a frozen lake. The dial is made of blue-tinted glass with laser-engraved lines that create the depth of cracks. White decals added through pad printing enhance the icy effect. This combination of techniques brings Arctic landscapes to life. The steel case is crafted with alternating polished and satin finishes, with a cold gray color that enhances the overall frozen theme of the watch, according to Bruno Belamich.

Ice is transparent and diffuses light, a quality seen in the skeletonized BR-05. Its crystalline dial shows the automatic BR-CAL. 322-1 movement’s mechanics. The blue glass and metallic blue flange create an illusion of a blue movement in icy water, as noted by Bruno Belamich.

Since its launch in 2019, the BR-05 line has embodied a certain vision of modern urban elegance. Refined yet relaxed, it fits with new lifestyles. Versatile, this watch with a 40mm diameter steel case, water-resistant to 100 meters, is easy to wear daily with its integrated bracelet.
