Bell & Ross has introduced a bold new addition to its popular BR-05 collection: the BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic. Limited to just 500 pieces, this sleek, all-black watch combines advanced watchmaking with stealthy design.
The minimalist design draws inspiration from aviation instruments and modernist architecture, while its “round-in-a-square” case design – a Bell & Ross signature since 1994 – gives it both rugged charm and graphic impact.
Crafted from black ceramic, chosen for its scratch resistance, lightweight feel, and hypoallergenic comfort, the 41mm case and integrated bracelet (also in ceramic) offer a sharp, modern profile.
Finished with both brushed and polished surfaces, the watch has been designed to reflect light with the precision of a diamond, turning its deep black tone into a visual feature.
This level of detail is mirrored in skeletonized structure of the piece, which houses the BR-CAL.322-1 automatic movement, visible through the transparent, black-tinted sapphire dial and sapphire caseback. This delivers a 54-hour power reserve and 100 meter water resistance.
The dial also features black Super-LumiNova® indexes and hands, glowing green in the dark while remaining fully black by day – an aesthetic nod to stealth aircraft and contemporary art. A rhodium-plated seconds hand and applied indices complete the monochrome theme.
The BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic is available on either a full ceramic bracelet ($9,800) or a black rubber strap ($8,900), both with folding clasps.
