The watch is constructed with a 40mm case that boasts both satin-polished and polished steel that's crafted out of a monobloc of the metal to ensure consistency across the entire piece. The timepiece is thus at once inherently [metallic and industrial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ball-watch-roadmaster-perseverer), but also chic like a [high-end piece of jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenith-defy-skyline-cx-edition). The Bell & Ross BR-05 Grey Mirror Steel timepiece is limited to just 250 examples, which are each powered by the BR-CAL.321.1 movement. The watch features a 54-hour power reserve to keep it going for multiple days of not being worn and has 100-meters of water resistance.
