High-tech materials for exceptional functionality
In mechanical sports, weight reduction is everything. This is why manufacturers use high-tech materials taken from the aeronautical and aerospace industries. Bell & Ross applies this principle to the BR-X5 Racing, with its carbon and titanium case ensuring both comfort and resilience.
A design inspired by motor racing
Inspired by the Aero GT supercar and the design of stealth aircraft, the watch dial adopts the codes of racing car instrument panels. It has a central seconds hand with a chequered graduation accurate to the quarter-second, with the minutes on the outer flange and the hours on the crystal of the dial. The hour numerals and hands are luminescent for optimum legibility in the dark.
A chronometer-certified automatic manufacture movement
The calibre BR-CAL.323, chronometer-certified by the COSC, can be seen through the tinted crystal in the centre of the dial and the sapphire on the case-back. The 70-hour power reserve indicator, shaped like a fuel gauge, accentuates the sports styling of the BR-X5 Racing.
Power and performance
Thanks to its architecture, which combines multiple components, the 41-mm case of the BR-X5 Racing is both lightweight and robust. Equipped with a manufacture movement with a 5-year guarantee, the BR-X5 is the result of many years of research and development.
