Bell & Ross BR-X5 Iridescent (Ref. BRX5R-IRS-ST/SST)
Inside its signature ‘circle-in-a-square’ case, Bell & Ross has placed an elegant yet playful iridescent dial that appears to change colour when viewed from different angles. This is achieved by placing many fine layers of PVD in fifty different shades of blue, creating a spectrum of colours ranging from blue to green, with a subtle presence of yellow and violet. On the dial, the rhodium-plated and polished indices and hour and minute hands are filled with white Super-LumiNova®. The central sweeping seconds hand has a semi-matte texture. At 3 o’clock lies the date aperture and on its opposite at 9 is the power reserve indicator.
The 41 mm case is crafted from satin-finished and polished stainless steel with sapphire crystal over the dial and on the caseback giving a view of the Calibre BR-CAL.323. The automatic movement offers the watch a power reserve of about 70 hours. The water resistance of the timepiece is up to 100 metres. A stainless steel bracelet or white rubber strap flanks the watch.
