Bell Ross BR-X5

Bell & Ross, which managed to become one of the cult names of the watch world with its aviation-themed models, introduced the BR-X5 models equipped with new-generation calibers.

Bell & Ross, which has a unique fan base with its iconic models that bring together square and round forms under the same roof as well as aviation-themed designs, presented the new BR-X5 models, which come to life with new generation calibers, to watch lovers.

Since the day it was founded, the Parisian brand had received support from manufacturers such as ETA and Sellita. Using the proven movements of both brands in its models, the young brand includes calibers produced by Kenissi in its new models.

Developed to bring new models to life, the BR-CAL.323 is produced by the movement manufacturer Kenissi, owned by Tudor and Chanel. Technically the same as the MT5621 used in the North Flag model, which Tudor no longer produces, the BR-CAL.323, operates at a frequency of 4Hz (28.800vph) and offers a power reserve time of up to 72 hours when fully wound. COSC-certified automatic caliber also hosts design details such as a free swing balance wheel and a transversal bridge.

Details other than the movement are generally parallel to the current BR-X5 platform. The cases, designed with a diameter of 41mm and a thickness of 12.80mm, come with stainless steel and carbon fiber material options. The case, in which scratch-resistant sapphire crystals are used on both sides, is produced to withstand water pressure up to 100 meters.

Bell & Ross offers different alternatives for the dial as well as the case materials. In addition to a pair of black dial alternatives with a matte and sunray pattern, there is also an ice blue dial that draws attention with its vibrant tone. The 72-hour power reserve time is followed by the indicator at 9 o'clock. At 3 o'clock, there is a triple date window.
