Minimalist 1970s-Inspired Watch Lines

Bell & Ross Have Created a Simplistic BR 05 Watch Line

Bell & Ross have created a new BR 05 watch line with simple features. The BR 05 watch will most notably feature a connected strap and case. The watch features a rounded case design that contains a rounded face located inside the bezel of the watch. The simplistic design is intended to resemble different minimalistic watches from the 1970s.

The new watch from Bell & Ross features a case that measures 40 mm. The watch is available in either a mixed polish strap or a rubberized strap. Bell & Ross have also created a 'Skeleton' version of the watch, which will be restricted to 500 models. The "Skeleton" edition will be powered by a BR-CAl.322 caliber movement system that can be seen on the underside of the watch.
