Bell & Ross BR-05 GMT Green Steel
Bell & Ross has built its reputation on watches inspired by aviation, but over the past several years the BR-05 collection has proven that the brand is just as comfortable navigating city streets as it is the cockpit. Introduced in 2019, the BR-05 translated Bell & Ross’ signature “circle within a square” design into a sleeker, more metropolitan watch, complete with an integrated bracelet that gives it a contemporary sports-luxury aesthetic.
Now, the brand injects fresh personality into the collection with the new BR-05 GMT Green Steel, a watch that pairs a sophisticated pop of color with genuine travel functionality.
Green continues to be one of the defining dial colors in watchmaking, but here Bell & Ross avoids the saturated emerald tones. Instead, it opts for a refined sage green with subtle silver reflections that change as light moves across the dial. Achieving that effect required a multi-step manufacturing process that begins with a sunray-brushed metal base, followed by layers of green-tinted and clear lacquer that create remarkable depth and shifting reflections.
The result is a color that feels contemporary without overpowering the watch’s clean, architectural design. It is distinctive enough to stand out yet neutral enough to work as an everyday companion.
Bell & Ross BR-05 GMT Green Steel is sold on a green strap or a steel bracelet.
Beyond its aesthetics, the BR-05 GMT remains a practical travel watch. The independently adjustable GMT hand tracks a second time zone, while a two-tone 24-hour flange clearly distinguishes daytime and nighttime hours at a glance. For frequent travelers, that means checking home time is as simple as a quick glance at the wrist.
Sized at 41 mm, the watch occupies the sweet spot in the BR-05 lineup, sitting between the 40 mm automatic model and the 42 mm chronograph. The stainless steel case features alternating satin and polished finishes, a sapphire caseback reveals the automatic BR-CAL.325-1 movement with its 54-hour power reserve, and water resistance is rated to 100 meters.
Available on either a matching green rubber strap for $5,300 or an integrated stainless steel bracelet for $5,800, the BR-05 GMT Green Steel, Bell & Ross delivers a watch that is equally at home crossing time zones as it is adding a subtle splash of personality to everyday urban life.
