The Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue timepiece is a high-end accessory that looks as though it was accidentally damaged as a way to give it a decidedly icy sense of personality.
The watch is constructed with a 40mm stainless steel case that holds the brand's in-house BR-CAL.322-1 automatic movement inside that's supported by a 54-hour power reserve. The watch boasts 100-meters of water resistance and comes with either a white rubber strap or a steel bracelet paired with a satin finish.
The Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue timepiece has a crack right in its intermediary crystal to make it appear like the lens is made out of glass, which is further enhanced with a light blue flange.
