Bell & Ross has revealed the BR-X5 Blue Lum, a fresh limited edition that proudly showcases the brand’s knack for playful lumens.

Continuing to draw inspiration from cockpits, the BR-X5 Blue Lum emanates a distinct and resplendent luminosity in the dark. A functional and bold statement on the wrist, the 41mm-sized reference emits a vivid and tinted glow that is achieved through a unique multi-layer construction as well as the utilization of titanium and LM3D — a luminescent composite developed by engineers at Bell & Ross.

Rendered in a pale blue and matte black palette, the dial is incorporated with block appliqué indices, skeletonized hour and minute hands and an elongated 3 o’clock date — exuding a digital-like effect. Powering this luminous timepiece is the BR-CAL.323, a COSC-certified manufacture movement, equipped with 70 hours of power reserve.

Limited to 500 pieces, the BR-X5 Blue Lum is on pre-order only with a price tag of $13,300 USD. For more information, visit Bell & Ross’ official website.
