Bell & Ross continues to push the boundaries of creativity and innovation with their latest masterpiece, the BR-X5 Green Lum. Set to make its debut in December, this timepiece is not merely a watch; it’s a testament to the brand’s commitment to excellence and avant-garde design.
The Lum Concept: Illuminating Time with History
Luminescence in timepieces has a rich history dating back to the 1930s when it was first employed for military watches. Bell & Ross pays homage to this tradition with the BR-X5 Green Lum, utilizing LM3D, a luminescent composite that adds a contemporary twist to this timeless concept.

The Manufacture Movement:
The BR-X5 Green Lum proudly boasts the distinction of being the first in the Bell & Ross collection to house a manufacture movement developed by Kenissi. The BR-CAL.323 calibre powers this timepiece, offering a remarkable power reserve of approximately 70 hours.
Years of meticulous research and development culminate in a movement that marries precision with endurance, ensuring this limited edition watch stands the test of time.

A Luminous Marvel: The BR-X5's Luminescent Case
The case of the BR-X5 is a symphony of cutting-edge materials and design. Constructed from grade 2 microblasted black titanium with a DLC finish, the multi-component case alternates layers of LM3D and titanium.
The result is a visually stunning and luminescent masterpiece. The container housing the movement is crafted from a block of grade 2 titanium with a DLC finish, inserted between two shields in LM3D, a photoluminescent composite material made from quartz fibers, radiating a vibrant green glow.

Functionality and Elegance in Harmony
The BR-X5 Green Lum is not just a visual delight; it’s a functional marvel. The Calibre BR-CAL.323 powers hours, minutes, and seconds, complemented by a date window at 3 o’clock and a power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock.
The 41mm wide case, with a thickness of 12.80mm, is a perfect balance of robustness and sophistication. The luminescent fiberglass composite inserts, combined with the microblasted titanium, create a watch that is as durable as it is alluring.
The aesthetic appeal of the BR-X5 Green Lum is further enhanced by the matt black dial, appliqué indices filled with black varnish, and skeletonized Super-LumiNova®-covered hour and minute hands. The black flange with a 60-minute scale and green markings adds a touch of sportiness to the overall design, making it a versatile timepiece suitable for any occasion.

Crystal Clarity, Water-Resistant Prowess, and a Perfect Finish
Protected by a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, the BR-X5 Green Lum is water-resistant up to 100 meters, ensuring its reliability even in the most demanding environments.
The case-back, crafted from grade 2 microblasted titanium, features a smoked grey sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, allowing a captivating view of the oscillating weight.
Completing the ensemble is a black openworked rubber strap, providing comfort and flexibility. The folding buckle, made of steel with a DLC finish, not only secures the watch with precision but also adds a touch of sophistication to the overall design.
