Bell & Ross’ latest creation, the BR-03 Cyber Ceramic, immediately draws parallels to the Cyber Skull models due to its striking resemblance. At first glance, you could even mistake it for another skull and bones watch. However, the brand dismisses us from such associations, emphasizing that the BR-03 Cyber Ceramic is the brand’s vision of modern watch design and futuristic aesthetics and is not a memento mori or a Jolly Roger-inspired piece.
The BR-03 Cyber Ceramic is a contemporary interpretation of the iconic BR-03 design. It is made of high-tech material, looks very dark and is full of stealth. Combining the spirit of aviation and the cockpit-inspired look of the BR 03 collection with the multifaceted aspects of the Cyber series, this timepiece combines very original, futuristic design codes in an unmistakable Bell & Ross style.
The BR-03 Cyber Ceramic from Bell & Ross introduces a transformative design, breaking away from the traditional round bezel and lugs that characterized its BR-03 predecessors. The new two-piece matte black ceramic case measuring 42mm x 43.7mm redefines the signature square case with an eight-sided structure. The absence of a round bezel and lugs gives way to thicker angles with sharp edges, with each line and edge subjected to careful faceting with diamond powder, creating a fascinating three-dimensional effect of multi-level architectural construction.
Sapphire crystals on the front and back of the watch increase transparency and allow a clear view of the interior. On the inside of the faceted, octagonal sapphire crystal there are metallic indices on the dial side. Most of the movement’s components are gray; The hour and minute hands are also gray and treated with gray SuperLumi-Nova, which glows light green in the dark. Applied exclusively to the hands, this illuminating treatment is in keeping with the stealth-like concept.
The openwork dial invites you to take a look at the inner workings of the BL-CAL.383 automatic movement, which has a matt black coating and is purely a timepiece. The barrel cover, which resembles a turbine engine, pays homage to aviation inspirations. Flipping the watch over reveals a continuation of the blacked out aesthetic with a black skeletonized motherboard, bridges and rotor. The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, offers a power reserve of 48 hours and comes with a reassuring five-year guarantee.
Since the lugs are eliminated or are seamlessly integrated into the bezel and the middle of the case, the rubber strap is an integral part of the case and promises to be comfortable to wear despite the size of the watch. The strap, secured with a matte black PVD steel pin buckle, completes the cohesive design. Limited to just 500 pieces, the BR-03 Cyber Ceramic is available for purchase 13,600 euros.
