Day 3: Jura Watches Christmas Countdown & the Bell & Ross BR-X5 Iced Blue
Wednesday - 14 December 2022
The Bell & Ross BR-X5 Ice Blue watch makes it onto our Christmas wish list this year, thanks to a bolder and more masculine case design, a stand-out ice blue dial and a new movement.
We're now onto our third day of our Christmas Countdown Advent Calendar feature here at Jura Watches, looking at some of the best luxury watch releases of 2022 to give you some inspiration when it comes to finding the perfect Christmas gift idea this year. Behind door number 3 is the Bell & Ross BR-X5 Ice Blue watch. It comes with a new Bell & Ross movement, not to mention an eye-catching dial colour and it comes in this newly designed take on the already-popular BR-05 watch design. If the one you love is partial to a sporty watch and loves the military-come-instrumental look, the Bell & Ross BR-X5 Ice Blue watch is a great option for Christmas 2022.
Just as Bell & Ross redesigned the classic style of the BR-01 watch with the urban-looking BR-X1, the new Bell & Ross BR-X5 Ice Blue watch is a more masculine and bolder-looking timepiece. It still features the emblematic circle within a square case shape but boasts a somewhat subtler military-oriented style. Since its release in 2019, the BR-05 has always referenced the design codes of the 1970s, albeit with a unique case shape. Now it’s here to create a presence on the wrist with this unusual dial colour in an ice blue shade, which really looks the part when combined with professional attire or a smart suit.
Let’s have a look at the key features of the Bell & Ross BR-X5 Ice Blue watch:
- The model takes on the recognisable circle within a square case shape
- Its robust stainless steel case offers a 100-meter water resistance
- An unusual Ice Blue dial colour enhances the crisp hour markers and hands against its shimmering surface
- A new date aperture is presented in a retrograde style
- You can track the remaining energy of the movement on the dial with a power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock
- This Bell & Ross watch is powered by a new Kenissi movement
- Its chic yet sporty style is enhanced by an integrated steel bracelet
- Crown protectors flank the crown to withstand bumps and shock impact
Why the Bell & Ross BR-X5 Ice Blue watch makes such a great Christmas 2022 gift idea
The recently released Bell & Ross BR-X5 Ice Blue watch now has a bolder look with a sporty chic persona that comes in a diameter of 41mm and a height of 12.80mm. Its muscular personality is achieved through a stainless steel case with a 100-meter water resistance, four screws bolting the bezel onto the case, and a mix of brushed and polished finishes. There’s also the advantage of the integrated stainless steel bracelet - a robust element of the design that imparts its charismatic sportiness whilst still remaining incredibly comfortable on the wrist. The central core of the case protects the movement within. Its round sapphire crystal glass front and transparent sapphire caseback now secure to the two steel plates of the case, all secured by those screws which unite an industrial-inspired aesthetic with pilot watch undertones. The sides of the case have a hollowed-out architecture, whilst a rubber ring sits underneath the screw-down bezel at 3 o’clock on the case, making it easy to grip when needed. This crown is also well protected at the side of the case with crown protectors.
Larger in size are the new hands and hour markers on the dial of the new Bell & Ross BR-X5 Ice Blue watch. These have also been treated with Super-LumiNova to assist with timekeeping in the dark. At the 3 o’clock location on this shimmering blue dial is a retrograde-style date window, balanced by a power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock, enabling you to keep track of the remaining energy of a Kenissi movement. The CAL.323 has a variable inertia balance, a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, a variable inertia balance wheel and provides an impressive power reserve of 3 days. The movement’s COSC-certified grading is reflected in its extended warranty of five years, making the Bell & Ross BR-X5 Ice Blue watch a reliable and solid investment for Christmas 2022.
