An integrated urban instrument, imbued with the warmth of copper

The BR 05 revisits the famous Bell & Ross square case with a round opening and screws at the four corners of the iconic BR 03 design, while softening the lines, rounding the angles and reducing the dimensions. Less extreme, the BR 05 is easier to wear as a day-to-day accessory. Graphic and stylish, it is a resounding success. It has become Bell & Ross' second icon. Designed for the city life, it is the ideal companion for urban adventurers.

As its name suggests, this watch is adorned with a golden-brown dial, enriched by a sunburst finishing which gives shine and a sense of preciousness recalling the light of the end of a brisk fall day. This color was developed specifically for the BR 05, which is the only Bell & Ross watch to feature it. Two main operations make it possible to obtain this tone and this particular depth: firstly, its machining. The sunburst effect is obtained by circular micro-engraving of the metal plate of the dial. This work gives all its luminosity to the colour which varies according to the inclination of the dial. And secondly, its varnishing. Several coats of transparent varnish in brown are applied to the metal plate of the dial which gives its depth, and its uniqueness to the colour of the Copper Brown.

In keeping with the themes of the BR05, this Copper reference retains the signature 40mm case and integrated bracelet, both in steel, creating a singular organic element. The indexes on the dial, also featuring a metallic colour, contribute to this desire for continuity. This watch has the effect of a block of metal simply adorned by its sunburst brown dial. This warm shade contrasts with the dominating grey metal creating a combination playing with the feeling of hot and cold.
