It wasn’t all that long ago when Bell & Ross debuted the BR-X5 line back in 2022 with an entirely new movement made by Kenissi exclusively for the BR-X5 line. The BR-X5 is a perfect platform for Bell & Ross to do a little bit of experimenting to widen the appeal of the line. Henceforth, now we have the newest model from the urban focused collection, the BR-X5 Iridescent watch. This watch features a unique iridescent dial while harboring the mainstay of the BR-X5 line, the Kenissi-manufactured movement.
The stainless steel case measures 41mm x 12.8mm and has a multi-layered construction where a watertight inner container protects the movement; making it water resistant to 100 meters. The square bezel has a round sapphire crystal as well as on the back to protect the movement and allowing the wearer to admire the mechanics in action.
BR-X5 Iridescent’s dial is where iridescence reign supreme, changing color depending on the angle of light, transitioning from green to blue and to violet and at certain angles, even flashes of orange. A sunburst effect further enhances the iridescent effect. Other elements of the dial include a date window at 3 o’clock and a power reserve subdial at 9 o’clock.
The COSC certified Kenissi-manufactured automatic Caliber BR-CAL.323 is the driving engine, offering a 70-hour power reserve that’s indicated on the dial via a power reserve register.
The BR-X5 Iridescent is available on a stainless steel bracelet (EUR 8,990) or a white rubber strap (EUR 8,500), available at Bell & Ross boutiques and online stores.
