The Bell & Ross BR-X5 Green Lum is limited to only 500 pieces making it very exclusive

Visibility has always been a key objective for each Bell & Ross design, taking inspiration from aeronautical instrumentation. Launched in 2017, all the watches in the Lum collection explore the possibilities offered by luminescence, giving superior luminosity and maximum readability, whether day or night.

The Solution

Having used Super-LumiNova for the numerals, indices, hands and dial on previous pieces, now Bell & Ross is going even further with the BR-X5 Green Lum and its innovative composite material: LM3D.

The Origin Story

Whether in a plane cockpit or on a diver’s wrist, a central challenge for any watchmaking instrument has always been a display that glows in the dark to offer the best possible readability. Since the 1930s, various luminescent materials have been used to coat the hands, numerals and indices on timepieces intended for professionals, starting with the military

Tradition Upheld

Continuing the tradition of aeronautical heritage and the brand’s iconic “round within the square” visual signature, in 2022 the BR-X5 added a new chapter to the Bell & Ross BR 05 range launched in 2019. However, Bell & Ross has chosen to take things a step further and explore a new avenue of creative expression. To this day, the concept of luminescence has been applied to the hands, numerals, indices and dial of the models, on this new watch, it is the 41mm case that glows in the dark in a spectacular way.

Exclusivity Is Key

For the structure of this new version of the BR-X5, lightness comes first on the multi-component case, which alternates LM3D and grade 2 micro-blasted black DLC titanium in a multi-layer assembly and is limited to only 500 pieces so you will immediately know when someone was lucky enough to own one of these timepieces.
