Astronauts, divers, pilots, and even bomb-disposal experts swear by Bell & Ross watches as essential tools on their missions. These striking Swiss timepieces have been designed for professionals who demand readability, performance, precision, and water-resistance.

Bell & Ross birthed the engaging BR 05 family of timepieces in 2019. This Skeleton Green Dial masterpiece of the line, emerging in 2022 as the fourth iteration, saw a highly limited production run of only 500 pieces. To be sure, it can prove to be a difficult watch to obtain.

We see the round dial within the square case as a nod to various aesthetic sensibilities found in cockpit design standards. In this case the unique scratch-resistant sapphire crystal possesses an alluring handsome green tint.

This wash of restrained color brilliantly collaborates with the skeletonized dial that lets you see the oscillating weight in motion. As a self-winding automatic mechanical watch, this piece is driven by the Bell & Ross BR-CAL.322 caliber, which is based upon Sellita SW-300, and beats at 28,800 vph, has 25 jewels, and gives you 42 hours of power. An exhibition caseback allows you to see additional inner workings of the watch.

Also apparent upon this intriguing dial are applied SuperLuminova-filled indexes and metal skeletonized SuperLuminova-filled hour and minute hands. You will also find a convenient center seconds hand.

The stainless steel case measures a comfortable 40 mm in diameter, a slim 10.3 mm in height, and rests upon a stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp. Additional features include a protected screw-down winding crown and water resistance to 100 m / 10 atm.

A unique, singular timepiece of fascinating beauty, we encourage you to add this limited-edition masterpiece to your collection today.
