Bell & Ross BR 05 Artline Steel & Gold
The Bell & Ross BR 05 Artline Steel & Gold emerges as a sophisticated addition to the brand’s “Urban” collection, merging the rugged charm of the BR 05 series with an opulent two-tone design. Launched in 2024, this limited-edition timepiece combines stainless steel and 18k rose gold, adorned with Art Deco-inspired details that echo the architectural elegance of the 1930s. This model not only celebrates the series’ expansion but also enhances its luxury sports watch credentials by integrating precious materials and intricate designs, making it a standout piece in Bell & Ross’s contemporary lineup.
The Bell & Ross BR 05 Artline Steel & Gold is housed in a robust 40mm stainless steel case with 10.33mm height, maintaining the well-known dimensions of the BR 05 series. The distinctive feature of this model is the 18k rose gold that adorns the bezel, introducing a luxurious two-tone design. This bi-metallic approach is accentuated by the Art Deco-inspired fluted grooves on the gold segments, blending elegance with the brand’s signature utilitarian design.
On the flipside is a sapphire exhibition caseback that allows a view into the inner workings of the mechanical movement. It features a gold oscillating weight inscribed with the “LIMITED EDITION” status and the unique number of each manufactured piece.
This model features a flat sapphire crystal that aligns with the aesthetic of the collection. It also comes equipped with a signed crown set between two protective guards at the 3 o’clock position, which screws down to enhance the water resistance. This setup ensures that the watch maintains its functionality and durability in various environments. Water-resistance can reach up to 100 meters (330 feet).
Time is exhibited on a refined brown dial with a sunray finish, creating a rich, vibrant backdrop that enhances the overall elegance of the watch. This lustrous surface sets the stage for the applied baton-style indexes, which diverge from the more typical Arabic numerals found in standard BR 05 models, favoring a subtler and more sophisticated appearance.
Further enhancing the dial’s allure, both the hands and the indexes are finished in rose gold, complementing the watch’s two-tone aesthetic. 
These elements are inlaid with Super-LumiNova, ensuring legibility in low-light conditions. A rose gold-finished frame surrounds the date window at the 3 o’clock position, integrating seamlessly with the dial’s design while adding a functional aspect without disrupting the visual harmony.
Overall, the dial of the BR 05 Artline Steel & Gold not only maintains the brand’s commitment to readability and performance but does so with an added layer of luxury and style. The careful attention to detail and color coordination underscores the watch’s design ethos, marrying functionality with high-end aesthetic appeal.
