The BR-05 Skeleton collection rises to the challenge of transparency, reflecting true watchmaking expertise. For this new version, the dial of the BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue appears to be carved from a block of ice.
The power of ice
The dial of the BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue features a blue-tinted glass plate, laser engraved with irregular lines that faithfully imitate the cracks found in ice plains. Like frost marking the path of the cracks, a white transfer has been applied by pad printing.
The fascinating transparency of skeletonisation
The skeletonisation technique showcases the mechanism by removing the superfluous to reveal only the essential. The open dial consists of a blue glass and a metallic blue flange on which the 12 indices are mounted. The tinted glass gives the illusion that the movement is blue, immersed in icy water.
The fused bracelet: the signature design feature of the BR-05
The integrated design of the BR-05 reveals its unique character. Bruno Belamich, Creative Director and co-founder of Bell & Ross, explains: "The integration of the case and bracelet is in line with the brand's DNA, adding a new dimension to the watch, with the first link forming part of the case. This style, inspired by the 70s, gives Bell & Ross an aesthetic that is at once distinctive, modern and graphic."
