Bell & Ross Unveils Steel Phantom BR-05 Skeleton Watch Model
The Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic is a modern, stealth-inspired luxury sports watch that merges technical skeletonization with a ceramic housing, tuned for urban elegance and limited exclusivity.
A Stealthy Black Ceramic Construction
The BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic boasts a 41mm black ceramic case with a satin and polished finish, measuring 11.2 mm thick, and provides water resistance up to 100 meters. This stealthy black ceramic construction combines durability and a refined matte/polished dual finish, making it a standout piece in any collection.
Skeletonised Dial for Dark Legibility
The watch showcases a skeletonised smoked sapphire dial with black and dark grey Super-LumiNova-filled indices and hands for legibility in low light. The dial features a tinted sapphire crystal, revealing the intricately openworked BR-CAL.322-1 automatic movement beneath. This skeletonised dial maintains dark legibility, ensuring the watch remains functional even in the darkest of environments.
Black Super-LumiNova Lume
The baton-style hour markers on the BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic are filled with grey Super-LumiNova that glows green at night, providing a subtle yet functional glow.
Integrated Bracelet Design
The BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic offers two strap options: a fully integrated black ceramic bracelet with butterfly clasp, or a textured black rubber strap with a black PVD steel deployant clasp. The integrated bracelet design enhances the sport-luxe appearance and fluid wrist presence, making the watch suitable for both casual and formal occasions.
Limited Edition and Pricing
This model is a limited edition of 500 pieces, emphasizing a stealthy urban design with all-black aesthetics and modern luxury elements. The BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic is priced at $8,900 on the rubber strap and $9,800 with the matching ceramic bracelet.
The BR-CAL.322-1 Movement
The BR-CAL.322-1, an in-house caliber built on the Sellita SW300 architecture and extensively modified for the brand, powers the BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic. The movement runs at 28,800vph with a 54-hour power reserve, ensuring the watch keeps accurate time for extended periods.
