The Bell & Ross BR03 Skeleton Collection has been debuted by the brand as a series of timepieces that celebrate the model's 20th anniversary for discerning collectors alike to pick up. The collection puts the BR-CAL.328 automatic caliber movement in the spotlight that was developed specifically for the brand by Sellita and will deliver a 54-hour power reserve. The collection features models that each have the same 41mm case and water resistance to 100-meters, while the thickness of each version varies according to style.
The Bell & Ross BR03 Skeleton Collection includes the Black Ceramic, Grey Steel and Lum Ceramic models, which are priced ranging from $5,600 to $6,600 with each style limited to 250 pieces. The Black Ceramic option, however, is a permanent addition to the brand's product portfolio.
