Bell & Ross BR 05 Chrono White Hawk

The “BR 05” collection by Bell & Ross began in 2019, following recent trends in horology to offer watches with integrated bracelets that can easily be seen as versatil sports watches. Since their initial launch B&R has already released time-and-date and GMT versions. Now the collection is expanding with this limited edition “BR 05 Chrono White Hawk” with a brighter color-scheme, compared to the previous black or blue options.The iconic Bell & Ross circle in a square inspired by aviation control decks, appears here in a 42mm stainless-steel case with a vertically brushed surface and polished chamfered sides finsih. Mounted to the main case block is a rounded off square steel bezel, with exposed polished screws in each of the four corners. On the flip-side is a sapphire exhibition caseback that allows a view into the inner workings of the mechanical movement. Although the view is slightly obstructed by a silver metalized White Hawk logo, which has been applied directly on to the sapphire crystal.It also comes equipped with two push-pieces to operate the chronograph functions. Topped by a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. Equipped with a setting crown and a water-resistance that can reach up to 100 meters (330 feet).Time is exhibited on a silver opaline dial with steel applied hour index markers and the Arabic numerals: 6 and 12. While circling around the sloped flange is a ring of black printed minute markings with double-digit numerals for every 5-minute increment. It also features two sub-dials: a sub-seconds at 3 o’clock and a 30-minute counter aligned at the 9 o’clock position. These recessed sub-dials appear with a grey outline and snailed interiors, which nicely frame them against an overall clear background. While an extra touch of color appears in the form of a red chronograph and sub-dial hand.There is also a small round date aperture placed between the 4 and 5 o’clock positions. The central steel hour/minute hands, hour index markers, and Arabic numerals have all been fitted with a luminescent coating.
