When Bell & Ross<\/a><\/strong> launched the BR-X5<\/a><\/strong> in 2022, the watch marked one of the pinnacle works by the brand. Featuring an avante-garde interpretation of the brand\u2019s familiar circle-in-square aesthetic, alongside an integrated case-and-bracelet and a compelling dial, the watch served as a distinct elevation of the brand\u2019s familiar and fan-loved motifs. Last week at Watches and Wonders 2024<\/a><\/strong>, the brand once again revisits the design, introducing its latest in the new Bell & Ross BR-X5 Black Titanium<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

The watch itself is familiar in general composition, though subtler in tone and style as compared to previous iterations of the watch\u2014 which have thus far included light blue, full lume, and orange-touched editions. It measures 41 by 12.8mm on the wrist, featuring a grade 2 titanium construction with a microblasted finishing that provides it with a darkened, matte look. Machined sides and the integrated style connecting the watch to a matching titanium or rubber strap attach the watch in the collection, while the classic square look of the case proper holds it true to Bell & Ross.<\/p>\n

The dial of the model is\u2014 like the case\u2014 a familiar execution of the BR-X5, distinguishing itself via a semi-monochromatic black with white Super-Luminova details. Applied ovular hour marks serve for most of the indices, with a matching handset indicating the running time. An aviation-inspired date window provides some daily utility towards the 3 o\u2019clock position, while a large power reserve scale sits at its opposite at the 9 o\u2019clock. Inside, the Bell & Ross BR-CAL.323 provides the power, with the automatic movement capable of a 70-hour reserve.<\/p>\n
