Bell & Ross Unveils the BR-03 Skeleton Trilogy

Bell & Ross, a name synonymous with precision timekeeping and cutting-edge design, celebrates 20 years of its iconic BR-03 collection with a bold new trilogy: the BR-03 Skeleton. Merging avant-garde aesthetics with technical mastery, these three timepieces—Black Ceramic, Grey Steel, and Lum Ceramic—redefine the art of skeletonization.

 

The Art of Skeletonization

Skeletonization in watchmaking is more than just an aesthetic choice; it is a showcase of intricate craftsmanship and technical innovation. The BR-03 Skeleton trilogy exemplifies this philosophy by revealing the inner mechanics of timekeeping while maintaining structural integrity. Each piece features the newly developed BR-CAL.328 movement, designed exclusively for Bell & Ross, ensuring a 54-hour power reserve and uncompromising precision.

Encased in a 41mm micro-blasted black ceramic case, the Black Ceramic model embodies stealth and sophistication.

The hands and indexes, coated with green-emitting Super-LumiNova®, ensure optimal legibility. Accompanied by a black rubber strap and an additional black Velcro strap, this model is both rugged and refined.
