Bell & Ross - 'BR 05 Chrono Black Steel' - Automatic Chronograph - Ref. No: BR05C-BLC-ST/SST - Men - 2020+

Welcome to my Top Swiss Chronographs Boutique!

Founded in 1992 by childhood friends and college students Bruno Belamich and Carlos Rosillo (“Bell” from Belamich and “Ross” from Rosillo), Bell & Ross has, from its earliest days, focused its design on military inspirations and pilot’s watches. In the beginning, the brand partnered with German watch manufacturer Sinn for a decade of production, which says a lot about the robustness and utilitarian look of these watches. Probably the most important date in the brand’s history was 2005 when a clear identity was established with the now-iconic BR 01. Inspired by military aeroplane instruments with square cases for easy installation in dashboards, and four exposed screws in the corners to mount them in place, the watch was a statement. Oversized, instrumental and immediately recognizable.
Bell & Ross’ answer to this was the BR 05 collection. You can’t blame a brand for producing watches that answer market demand, but you can blame a brand for a lack of authenticity. On this point, B&R managed to blend the codes of the luxury sports watch and its DNA in a pretty cool and faithful way. Based on the concept of a watch with a shaped steel case and integrated bracelet, Bell & Ross adds a typical square(ish) bezel with 4 polished screws and a classic round dial, featuring the brands signature markers and numerals. The case is nicely executed, with classic brushed surfaces lightened by polished bevels with a well-proportioned 42mm diameter.
So here’s the first natural evolution of the Bell & Ross BR 05, which is updated with a chronograph movement, a classic style for sports watches with integrated bracelets.
