The NEW Bell & Ross BR05 - full review

Review of the new Bell & Ross integrated steel bracelet sports watch.
Thanks to an AD with a brand new Bell & Ross assortment, I was lucky enough to get my hands on the brand new B&R BR05, hot into the very important Integrated Steel Bracelet sports watch category.
You might be surprised...

Beautiful watch. I've never really been a fan of Bell n Ross until this release.

[@Wristwatchism]

John Huo well, ditto! I was surprised...

[@Wristwatchism]

Surprised me..

[@shipmate3577]

I think these look amazing. Just hope they come down to $2000.

[@Wristwatchism]

Shipmate yes please☝🏼

[@khoocheepeng]

No way

[@유승제-e4q]

I want to buy it... It is different previous models...

[@leyay7540]

I'm satisfied with its case and bracelet, however, I do feel the dial looks a bit underwhelmed(maybe I'm a bit nitpicking, but I'm a big fan of Grand Seiko so you know my standard will be high...).

[@Wristwatchism]

Leya Y fair point! The new video I’m working on this weekend is on a SBGA229, and my personal fave in my collection is an SBGR053..

[@HL-OOI]

Tried it yesterday..Nice but too ex..the thick bazel makes the dial looks small..still prefer the Golden Heritage..

[@charbelhelou280]

Their price tag is quite high for a sellita movement but so are many other brands longines breitling tag etc... have the same range of price with an ETA or sellita movt .so it is not a bell and ross matter only. But the problem.is their design they look awkward huge on the wrist thick bezel tiny dial i dont get along with them .oris is worse . So my idea is either you go and buy and wear an omega panerai or rolex or wear a 200$ swatch cause the in~between does not deserve their prices . They have inside them the same movt as swatch watches

[@numberstation]

I just can’t see past the absolutely ludicrous price tag.

[@dmora2386]

Why? Its in line with the just about every other mid range steel watch $4900US for an all steel Luxury watch. Only price improvement I could suggest is bring it down to $4300 bringing it closer to cheaper IWC pilots. Other than that, its a pretty neutral price.

[@arsenalnexus6981]

Agree £3,900 for this

[@chriseki4598]

Just whaouuw... beautifuuuul watch

[@Wristwatchism]

Thanks😊😊

[@chrisnv7421]

[@KingLe0nidas07]

hello. whats the intro song name? really digging the music

[@vetman548]

Like the look of this watch and never really been a fan of the brand,.You can pick these up new at a discounted price of around 3,700.

[@arsenalnexus6981]

Thats still 2 much could get a creaq automatic for half that price e

[@88detox]

Review the Blue dial version as well please.

[@torbensvensson2093]

Love the growing mustasch, Go movember!👏🏻👏🏻 You did get my opinion on the BR05 on Insta!👍🏻😉

[@Elias-jo1cc]

Good video, good watch, great logo ;=)

[@jeanlefranc3817]

Bell & Ross instrument watches have round bezels in proper square cases. The BR05 has a squarish bezel set on a squar(ish) case. Anyway !
I’m glad B&R makes this model which allows chaps dreaming about a Nautilus, Aquanaut or a Royal Oak to be able to buy a steel watch with integrated bracelet without waiting lists and ridiculous price tags.
What I don’t get is how B&R can pull this one, selling an homagey model with a bog standard Sellita movement at €4500, when half the watchfam is up in arms with Steinhart selling very decent watches at sub €500 price point, copying design directly from Rolex models. Or B&R selling the BR V1, which is a Sinn 556A rip-off at twice the price ?

[@Wristwatchism]

Hervé Chretien well, you have some good points Hervè, though the Sellita trumped an ETA movement in my box for acccuracy :-). I’m more for a return to the 60’s-70’s when there wasn’t such a big emphasis on In-House, like the first Rolex Daytona with the Zenith movement..

[@imranchowdhury4972]

So in a way you just said that it is a Patek Nautilus homage.

[@user-rc6nj2ju7l]

beautiful

[@pastre999]

In short , this has a good but unoriginal design . The main issue is it is OVERPRICED for its mediocre movement . This should just be priced around £1800 .

[@evh4611]

No micro adjustment on the clasp sucks

[@Wristwatchism]

E VH that’s a very good point! As it’s only a 100m dressier sports watch they went for the super sharp butterfly clasp, but YES when the seasons change and the high summer temps come you’ll be out with the tools..

[@evh4611]

@@Wristwatchism That is why i hesitate to purchase an Aqua Terra for example, same for Grand Seiko

[@dankestranch8738]

Too spensive mannn

[@arsenalnexus6981]

To expensive £3,900 might as well save up and get a rolex

[@speedzero7478]

Good luck. Rolex submariner brand new gonna cost you 14,000 on the secondary market.

[@dannielopfull]

No rolex looks like this...

[@imrang6055]

Problem is Rolex, Breitling, Omega are becoming really common now! See them everywhere now
