Bell & Ross issues a fresh colorway for its beloved BR 05 skeletonized model every year since it was released in 2019. This year, the choice is a rich orange-ish gold. The case remains the same at 40mm wide by 10.33mm thick, and the front and rear glass are sapphire crystals that permit visibility of the open-work movement. The Skeleton Golden also gets gold-finished hands with Grade X1 White 10 Super-LumiNova that show up as green when things get dark, floating baton markers with the same lume, and a bold galvanized gold chapter ring. The result is a fresh new warmth to the model. The watch is powered by the same BR-CAL.322 automatic movement that’s based on the Swiss Sellita SW300-1 with 38 hours of power reserve. One of the best parts is the integrated H-link bracelet that tapers nicely for an elegant look while remaining sporty. You can also choose a brown rubber strap with a stainless steel clasp. Only 500 pieces will be made.
