The biggest challenge for this new approach? Bringing together innovation with photoluminescent material and high-end design in the BR-X5 line.

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 – whether pilots or combat divers. With tritium and radium shelved due to radioactivity, Super-LumiNova is now the predominant material when it comes to achieving luminescence.

While every watch across the Bell & Ross collections displays the time even in the dark, some models go even further. This is the case for the brand’s LUM pieces, making direct reference to luminescence.

Bell & Ross launched its LUM line in 2017 with the BR 03-92 HOROLUM, followed a year later by the BR 03-92 NIGHTLUM, both of which featured exceptional luminescence on the numerals, indices and hands. In 2019, the BR 03-92 FULL LUM was launched, this time with a dial covered entirely in Super-LumiNova, with a contrast effect that highlighted key elements for maximum readability.

With the year 2020 came the first appearance of the BR 03-92 GREY LUM, emitting a particularly intense green glow reminiscent of landing strip lights, followed by the BR 03-92 Diver FULL LUM, with a dial featuring different shades of light green and pale yellow luminescence.

BRX5: The Manufacture Collection enriched
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.

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, with a composite material developed specially for Bell & Ross: LM3D. For the first time, the Maison’s manufacture collection is venturing out onto planet LUM.
A limited concept series
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.
