Get a luxurious look with this new stunning BR-X5 collection powered by Kenissi.

Bell & Ross is worldwide-known for its innovative and incredible history of creating quality watches with the reliability of air navigation instruments, and a luxury took watch aesthetic. Taking a look back, the BR 05 line was first introduced in 2019 with its “circle-in-a-square” design into a modern and luxurious sporty watch. However, their latest BR-X5 collection offers a new perspective on the brand’s silhouette and aesthetic they have been looking for their brand. With the employment of Kenissi movements for the first time in the BR-X5, watches are all created based on four principles: legibility, functionality, reliability, and precision. “Perpetuating the aeronautical heritage of Bell & Ross and the visual signature of the “round within the square”, the BR-X5 adds a new chapter to the history of the BR 05 collection.” – Bell & Ross.
“While aesthetic boldness was the guiding principle throughout the creative stages of the BR-X5, when it came to reliability and precision timekeeping, the notion of risk disappeared from our vocabulary,” explained Bruno Belamich, creative director of Bell & Ross.”
In comparison to the BR 05 GMT watch edition, this new BR-X5’s size is 41 mm for a modern and substantial fit on the wrist. It also has got a bold and bright dial, which makes a big difference from previous models. It continues the theme of layering with a varnish process that includes a rhodium-plated finish and a sunburst texture. Besides, if we have to describe the style of the BR –X5 watch, we can say it is an urban adventure available in a sporty black and red colourway or a truly dazzling ice blue with unexpected elegance. The black edition is masculine and sporty, while the icy blue edition is designed for a more business, sports and nights out lifestyle. There is also the BR-X5 Carbon Orange version, which has got the same movement and similar design. Multi-part complexity case describes this Carbon Orange watch in both titanium and carbon composite. That is why it costs almost double the base model in steel.


“We are playing with different levels of sophistication and size. The BR-X5 is the latest version of the 05 collection. With its movement made by Kenissi, its new functions and new design features, we created an evolved version of the BR 05.” – Bell & Ross.


The centrepiece of the BR-X5 is the BR-CAL.323, a calibre produced by Kenissi, the movement manufacturer owned by Tudor and Chanel. The BR-X5 has got a 72-hour power reserve as well as a free-sprung balance wheel with adjustable weights for regulation. And the BR-CAL.323 movement is COSC-certified.
The watch also features simple baton indices for timekeeping. The super-LumiNova improves legibility in low-light conditions. A double baton for orientation is implemented to indicate the 12 o’clock position. A bevelled minute track surrounds the dial for added depth. The BR-X5 version is also paired with a matching steel bracelet for an elegant finish or a sporty openwork black or ice blue rubber strap.
