Bell & Ross' polar-inspired BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue is ideated to transport you to magical places.
It is so white and cold that it turns blue. So deceptive is the appearance of icebergs and glaciers, yet so inexplicably attractive these nature's gifts are. For the BR-05 Skeleton Arctic Blue, Bell & Ross harnesses the magnificence of the polar landscapes to create a timepiece that celebrates the triumphs of fearless explorers who conquered the stunning yet perilous regions. Like an offspring of the marriage between water and ice, the timepiece offers a fascinating glimpse into the glandular transformation experienced by the extreme ends of Earth through an inspirational design.
