Bell & Ross launches the new Bell & Ross BR 05 Chrono White Hawk Chronograph Replica

Bell & Ross has always been known for aviation watches and military watches. In 2019, the brand followed the trend of one-piece bracelets, integrating iconic case shape and classic design, and released the urban-style BR 05 luxury sports series. The series has both a large three-hand calendar watch and a GMT watch, as well as larger chronographs with more complex functions. Today, Bell & Ross has launched a new Bell & Ross BR 05 Chrono White Hawk replica watch BR05C-SI-ST.

The Case

Dubbed "White Hawk”, this new edition of the replica Bell & Ross BR 05 Chrono basically introduces a new set of colours and some specific details on the back. The rest, referring to overall design, proportions and movement, are identical to the classic black or blue editions. As such, the rounded square shape of the case, with its nice combination of vertically brushed surfaces and large polished bevels, as well as the typical screws at each corner, are present. This version is bold and large, at 42mm in width and 13.5mm in height. The case is 100m water-resistant, features sapphire crystals on both sides and shows well-integrated chronograph pushers.

The Dial

The main evolution for this replica Bell & Ross BR 05 Chrono White Hawk is the dial. Gone are the dark and highly contrasting blue or black backgrounds; here, B&R opts for something lighter and fresh, with a matte, silvery-white opaline dial. It retains the same sub-counters with a design that recalls that of the case. The applied hour markers, the hands and the counters are all executed in silver with light touches of red, giving a bit of life, on the two chronograph hands.

The Movement

Under the sapphire crystal decorated with a specific silver metallized White Hawk logo is the calibre BR-CAL.301. This movement is based on the automatic modular chronograph ETA 2894-2, yet reworked in terms of decoration. It also features a 360° rotor with an openworked design.

The Bracelet

The BR 05 Chrono White Hawk replica is worn on either an integrated stainless steel bracelet with brushed and polished links, closed by a triple folding clasp, or on a textured black rubber strap closed by a classic folding buckle.

Price

Production of the replica Bell & Ross BR 05 Chrono White Hawk is limited to 250 pieces (disregarding the strap option) and priced at EUR 5,600 on a rubber strap or EUR 6,100 on a steel bracelet. It can be pre-ordered now from the brand’s website, with deliveries in mid-December 2021.

Review the Bell & Ross BR 05 Chrono Blue Dial Watch Replica

Review the Bell & Ross BR 05 Chrono Blue Dial Watch Replica

It is well known that Bell & Ross' history is mainly associated with military watches made for pilots and special forces. The brand's most iconic models, the BR 01 and BR 03, have become modern classics thanks to their bold signature design described as a "circle inside a square". The brand launched the BR 05 in 2019, which takes on the popular sports watch with an integrated bracelet, but still has clear Bergère design codes. Today, the more masculine automatic chronograph Bell & Ross BR 05 Chrono replica joins the collection. Today, I review the Bell & Ross BR 05 Chrono replica reference BR05C-BU-ST / SRB made of metal with a dark metallic blue dial and matching blue rubber strap.

The Case

The replica Bell & Ross BR 05 Chrono has the same 42mm-wide steel case, but it is a little bit thicker on account of the automatic chronograph movement. The automatic is, indeed, a bit larger of a watch as compared to the three hand-model, but when worn snug it is very comfortable, and the case proportions are lovely.

Speaking of the case, the BR 05 itself is a thing of beauty that takes the square case look of the Bell & Ross BR 01 replica, then softens it and gives it fancier polished angles and surfaces for the BR 05. It’s the Gerald Genta watch Bell & Ross made — that simple.

As a tool watch, the BR 05 is still pretty competent, even if it is designed for lifestyle appeal. The case is beefy and water-resistant to 100 meters, with a screw-down crown and a sapphire crystal over the dial. The side of the case has an attractive crown and chronograph pusher guard, and the dial legibility is very good, overall. I particularly like the design of the two subdials, whose shapes mimic that of the BR 05 case itself.

The Dial

The dial is the most obvious evolution on this watch. While the time-and-date model was all about minimalism, this BR 05 Chrono replica watch is busier and more playful. Hands and indexes have been retained, and so is the sunray-brushed finish of the dial – available in black or in blue. The elements are generously filled with Super-LumiNova providing great night-time legibility – a speciality for Bell & Ross.

On the issue of chronograph counters, Bell & Ross replica had to think about integrating them in a way that respected the overall shape of the watch. As such, the sub-counters follow the same overall design as the case, meaning squares with rounded angles. The counters – small seconds and 30-minute register – are snailed, feature a contrasting track in grey and their hands also have a squared centre canon. 

The Movement

Bell & Ross chose a bit of style of functionality for the dial of the BR 05 Chrono, on account of the fact that the hour-counter chronograph register has been removed, even though the movement offers a full 12-hour chronograph. This means the base Swiss Made ETA 2894-2 automatic movement (which Bell & Ross calls its calibre BR-CAL.301) is outfitted to have a 30-minute chronograph, along with the time and a round date window located between 4 and 5 o’clock on the dial.

The Strap

The Bell & Ross BR 05 Chrono replica is launched in four editions, either with a black or blue dial, each available on an integrated stainless bracelet with triple folding clasp, or a textured rubber strap (matching the dial’s colour) with a folding clasp.

Price

The prices will be EUR 5,400 on a rubber strap and EUR 5,900 on a steel bracelet. Choosing between replica Bell & Ross BR 05 Three Hands and Chrono depends on taste and budget. Both are excellent choices and are different flavors of the same food. It is also important to determine if you want the full bracelet experience or the athletic comfort and durability of a belt (belts also have their own premium style).
