Introducing the new BR 05 CHRONOGRAPH WHITE HAWK, named in homage to the aviation industry
Bell & Ross has released the new chronograph "BR 05 CHRONOGRAPH WHITE HAWK" as a limited edition of 250 pieces. This model adds a new charm to the collection, featuring a pure white silver dial on the powerful, integrated case and bracelet form of the "BR 05".
A limited edition model where the pure silver-white dial harmonizes with the stainless steel case
Faithful to the brand's fundamental principles of legibility, functionality, reliability, and high precision, which have formed the bedrock of Bell & Ross's reputation, the new "BR 05 CHRONOGRAPH WHITE HAWK" chronograph has been released. It boasts a style and technical complexity that perfectly fits an urban environment with unwavering confidence.
This new timepiece, excitingly named "WHITE HAWK" after a transport aircraft, carries an homage to the aviation industry.
The chronograph is a primary complication in aviation instruments, a function suited not only for professionals like pilots and athletes but also for urban explorers seeking to master time themselves. This measuring instrument is a masterpiece that fuses Bell & Ross's masculine aesthetic with the technical sophistication of high-end watchmaking. The lines of the 42mm case are guided into a powerful form by combining the basic geometric shapes of "circle" and "square," which define Bell & Ross's identity.
In contrast to the black and blue, the signature colors of the "BR 05" collection, the dial newly adopts a pure silver-white. This complements the collection's previously dark-colored dials, adding depth and vitality.
The white opaline silver dial perfectly harmonizes with the color and luster of the stainless steel case, finished with polish and satin. Furthermore, while the dial's textured surface reflects metallically and captures light, the case and dial merge to form a luminous, unified shape.
The dial features a chic design with high legibility. All chronograph information is displayed in red, and thanks to the skeletonized hands and indices coated with Super-LumiNova®, it boasts excellent readability day or night. The 30-minute counter is located at 9 o'clock, and the small seconds at 3 o'clock. These counters, adorned with a snailed finish, add a neo-retro touch to the appearance.
The integrated bracelet fits seamlessly on any wrist. The crown guards and crown are formed as a single piece, blending perfectly with the case's volume. This model is available in two versions: one with an elegantly finished satin-polished stainless steel bracelet, and another paired with a sporty-chic black rubber strap.
Inside the case beats the Calibre BR-CAL.301, wound by a 360-degree rotating pendulum-like rotor. This movement's heart can be viewed through the sapphire crystal case back, which is printed with a silver-metallic hawk, true to its name. This limited edition of 250 robust timepieces will captivate lovers of mechanical craftsmanship, urban explorers, pilots, and collectors alike.
