A Boutique & E-Boutique Edition
Comparable to the wings of a butterfly or the scales of a tropical fish, the color of the dial changes with the light or the inclination of the timepiece. Blue with iridescent reflections, it offers a wide range of colors, from blue to green, then from green to blue, with touches of yellow and violet. The dial is transformed into a veritable rainbow of hues. Its unique color palette evolves with the slightest change in wrist orientation.
Iridescence, the fascinating property that causes certain surfaces to appear in changing colors depending on the
angle of light or view, gives the new BR-X5 a rare aesthetic that is in constant metamorphosis.
Resulting from a structural coloration, the iridescence of the BR-X5 Iridescent dial is obtained by superimposing several thin layers of PVD. “The creation of this piece is based on an elaborate chemical process. The PVD treatment applied to the dial gives it this striking visual appearance. The PVD layers, all with distinct tones, create light interference which, depending on the angle of observation, gives rise to this unique chromatic variation,” explains Bruno Belamich, co-founder of Bell & Ross.
“The treatment of this dial is original, playful and innovative. In short, it’s a good summary of the creativity that emanates from our company,” enthuses Mr. Belamich.
