High legibility achieved with a combination of fluorescent green and black

For Bell & Ross, every detail has meaning. And legibility has been one of the brand's most important guiding principles since its inception. Based on this principle, the new "Bell & Ross BR 05 Skeleton Nightlum" pursues the concept of light, offering a timepiece with excellent legibility day or night. Nightlum is derived from the Latin word "Lumen" (light), evoking light (Lum) and named for its outstanding visibility in the dark (Night).

The "BR 05 Skeleton" saw the release of a model with a gray dial in 2019, followed by a blue-dial version in 2020, and this iteration features a black with a striking green accent. The skeletonization, achieved by carefully carving away metal except for the bare minimum, emphasizes a beauty and sophistication as if the movement is floating weightlessly within the dial, while simultaneously achieving strength and surprising lightness.

The skeletonized appliqué indices and hands, combined with the smoked sapphire crystal dial, are coated with green-glowing Super-LumiNova® C5. During the day, they emit a subtle yet bright green hue, and at night, they glow a powerful fluorescent green, allowing for easy reading of the time.
This model is available in two versions: a 40mm case with multifaceted shaping that creates a geometric beauty on the watch's exterior, paired with either a black rubber strap for a sporty-chic silhouette or a satin and polished stainless steel bracelet.
