Bell & Ross unveils the stealthy ceramic BR-05 Skeleton version of the Phantom watch line.
Introducing the BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic: A Modern Masterpiece from Bell & Ross
Bell & Ross has unveiled the latest addition to their acclaimed BR-05 collection, the BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic. This timepiece, limited to 500 pieces, is a testament to the brand's commitment to innovation and design excellence.
The BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic boasts a 41mm case crafted from black ceramic, featuring a combination of satin and polished finishes. This all-black stealth aesthetic is further enhanced by the tinted sapphire crystal dial, which offers a glimpse of the highly finished automatic movement beneath.
The hour markers are baton-style and filled with grey Super-LumiNova, which glows green in the dark, ensuring excellent legibility without compromising the stealthy look. The hands are also coated with black Super-LumiNova, appearing black in daylight and emitting green luminescence in the dark.
At the heart of the BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic lies Bell & Ross’ in-house BR-CAL.322-1 caliber, an automatic skeletonized version of the Sellita SW300, extensively modified for the brand. This movement offers a 54-hour power reserve and operates at 4 Hz, providing a blend of technical reliability and aesthetic finesse.
The use of black ceramic extends to the integrated bracelet option, emphasizing durability and a luxury feel. Ceramic is significantly lighter than steel, providing practical advantages in terms of weight, and offers superior scratch resistance compared to steel. The watch also showcases beautiful finishing on the coated material, with visual nuance created by the combination of brushed and polished elements.
The BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic is water-resistant to 100 meters and features a screw-down crown with side protectors for enhanced durability. It offers versatility with two strap options: a black ceramic bracelet or a textured black rubber strap with a black PVD-coated steel deployant clasp.
Priced at $8,900 on the rubber strap or $9,800 with the matching ceramic bracelet, the BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic is a bold statement in modern luxury sports watches. It continues Bell & Ross's long-standing tradition of perfecting the all-black timepiece design, a journey that began with the original BR-01 Phantom in 2007.
The Phantom aesthetic, inspired by stealth aircraft technology, has become synonymous with Bell & Ross's military-inspired identity. The BR-05 collection, introduced in 2019, offers a more accessible design for day-to-day wear, making the Phantom aesthetic more accessible than ever.
With the BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic, Bell & Ross has once again pushed the boundaries of watchmaking, combining avant-garde skeletonization, an all-black ceramic stealth design, in-house automatic movement craftsmanship, and versatile strap options.
