Bell & Ross just debuted what many consider its most wearable travel watch to date. Following the release of the black, white, and blue editions, the brand returns with the launch of the BR-05 GMT Green Steel, now with a dial that functions like a serious men’s accessory.
A Green Dial for the For Modern Gentleman
The BR-05 is Bell & Ross‘ iteration of an everyday luxury sports watch. It retains the iconic circle within a square DNA from the BR-01 cockpit instrument, but softens it with rounded edges and a fully integrated bracelet. This new version features extraordinary color execution using a three-stage sunray process: brushed base, green lacquer, then transparent varnish. The end result is a dial shifting from muted sage to silver through light reflection. Applied rhodium indices, supersized numerals, and skeletonized Super-LumiNova X1 hands keep it legible. Around the edge, a two-tone green and silver-grey 24-hour flange lets the arrow-shaped GMT hand track a second time zone at a glance.
The Specs First-Time Buyers Will Love
This is a performance timepiece, with formidable elements that include a satin-brushed and polished stainless steel case 41mm x 11mm, which sits between the 40mm time-only and 42mm chronograph models. Boasting 100m water resistance and a protected screw-down crown, it comes equipped with a sapphire front and back, and date at 3 o’clock.
Inside is calibre BR-CAL.325-1, based on the reliable Sellita SW-330-2 with caller/office GMT function. With this watch, you can set the GMT hand to track home time while traveling, with 54 hours of power reserve. It’s the perfect complication for men who prefer style and substance.
The Final Word For New Collectors
Newcomers to the luxury watch scene in search of one luxury timepiece that functions as a true accessory have several options on the market to consider. For those wanting something versatile, travel-ready, and instantly recognizable without shouting, the BR-05 GMT Green Steel is one of the strongest sub-6K entries right now.
