Bell & Ross BR 05 BLACK STEEL & GOLD BR05A-BL-STPG/SRB
Back to top Back to main Skip to menuHands-on: Bell & Ross BR 05 Skeleton Nightlum Watch My interest in the Bell & Ross BR 05 has only increased since the original BR 05 swiss watch replicas came out in 2019. The first Bell & Ross BR 05 watch I reviewed on aBlogtoWatch has a skeletonized dial, which is a popular themed collection. Bell & Ross also currently offers a standard three-hand non-skeletonized version of the BR 05, a GMT, and a dual-record chronograph (not to mention that the watch is available in both bracelet and strap options). Today, I see again a skeletonized version of the BR 05, reference BR05A-BL-SK-ST/SST Bell & Ross BR 05 Skeleton Nightlum, which I happen to think is very well done.
What's special here is that Bell & Ross takes a completely different approach to the skeletonized dial experience - unlike the standard BR 05 Skeleton. We see the same skeletonized Bell & Ross caliber BR-CAL.322 automatic movement, but in a different colour treatment, with a smoked sapphire crystal. The effect of this is to de-emphasize the view of the movement (while still providing it), and bring the eye to focus more on the dial itself. The use of a translucent smoky dial is an important step in improving legibility, which is good because while I love Bell & Ross' "Art Watches", I'm always the most impressed when it comes to its tool watches profound. While the BR 05 collection as a whole is less about sport than having a beautiful lifestyle copy luxury watches, functionality is what Bell & Ross.
As the name "BR 05 Skeleton Nightlum" suggests, the dial is well-lit thanks to the Super-LumiNova painted hour-markers and hands. In the handsome BR 05 case and bracelet frame, you can combine a clear tool watch dial with the decorative appeal of a skeleton dial. The Skeleton Nightlum watch happens to be a limited edition, so Bell & Ross knew it was one of many design experiments. That said, I find it to be one of the more satisfying variants of the three-hand BR 05 watch to date.
The design of the BR 05 case is still interesting, designed to incorporate everything Bell & Ross has known so far. It's also a product designed to fit neatly into the currently trending all-in-one bracelet men's watch. These give the watch more of a "men's jewelry" look, rather than purely sporty or functional. While a matching steel bracelet would be lovely for the Skeleton Nightlum, Bell & Ross does offer an additional limited-edition model on a rubber strap (ref BR05A-BL-SK-ST/SRB). While the bracelet is very nice, I actually feel that the watch on the strap has great advantages in both style and comfort.replica watches for men
The BR-CAL.322 automatic movement operates at 4Hz and has a power reserve of about two days. It only indicates the time with central hours, minutes and seconds. The skeletonization is well done without going overboard, and I love the overall modern masculinity of the watch, which combines the steel, smoky black and green hues on the dial. The BR-05 case is a 40mm wide cushion with 100m water resistance. It looks bigger than it actually is, but in reality, the watch is very comfortable and modest to wear. I look forward to getting more wrist time with a Bell & Ross BR05 copy watches for sale like this in the future.
