Bell & Ross BR-X5 Meteorite BRX5R-MTR-ST/SRB
With the BR-X5 Meteorite, the BR-X5 collection is opening a new chapter, combining the precision of Swiss watchmaking with the exclusivity of a meteorite billions of years old.
The dial of the BR-X5 Meteorite is cut from Muonionalusta meteorite, a material dating back 4.5 billion years. Its natural Widmanstätten pattern, impossible to reproduce artificially, gives every dial a unique motif. Limited to 250 pieces, each watch therefore bears its own exclusive mineral signature.
The 41 mm satin-finished and polished steel case echoes the iconic codes of the BR-X5: a multi-layered architecture, an openworked structure and four visible screws that reinforce its technical identity. Powered by the COSC-certified Manufacture calibre BR-CAL.323, the watch combines performance and precision with a power reserve of approximately 70 hours and a 5-year warranty.
The dial of the BR-X5 Meteorite is crafted directly from the celestial material, without a brass base. It is protected with a thin layer of matt Zapon lacquer, designed to stabilise and preserve the surface without altering its natural appearance. The polished, rhodium-plated applique indexes and skeletonised hands with Super-LumiNova® ensure optimal legibility, both day and night.
