Review the Bell & Ross BR 05 GMT 41mm Black Watch Replica

Review the Bell & Ross BR 05 GMT 41mm Black Watch Replica

In September 2021, Bell & Ross launched the new Bell & Ross BR 05 GMT 41mm black watch replica. Following the calendar and the chronograph, this new dual time zone product marks a new addition to the BR 05 series.

The Case

Measuring in at 41mm, the stainless steel case of the Bell & Ross BR 05 GMT replica bridges the gap between the 40mm three-hand model and the Bell & Ross 42mm BR 05 Chronograph replica. As with its stablemates, this is a case that boldly announces itself on the wrist, with a relatively tall profile complementing the rounded-square form. 

Despite the sense of wrist presence, the BR 05 GMT is far from an overwhelming wearing experience thanks to its short, sharply downturned lugs and integrated bracelet design. The polished, chamfered facets along the case and bezel also perform double duty here, both visually breaking up the vertical case sides and giving the predominantly brushed design a sense of vibrant flash. The rounded square form of the bezel remains the centerpiece of this design, firmly establishing the replica Bell & Ross BR 05 GMT’s unique silhouette while anchoring the look with familiar integrated sports watch elements like the bezel screws and wide sloping polished chamfer. Bell & Ross completes the case with a sapphire display caseback, and rates the sporty design for a decent 100 meters of water resistance.

The Dial

Bell & Ross' primary focus with the dial of the BR 05 GMT replica seems to be seamless integration. Beyond the red arrow-tipped GMT hand, the overall look is kept as close to the standard three-hand BR 05 as possible, rather than adding unnecessary visual complication. The result is a remarkably clean GMT design on the wrist, with the narrow black and silver 24-hour rehaut nearly disappearing at certain viewing angles and only a small red GMT badge at 6 o’clock adding to the standard dial text. The rest of the replica BR 05 GMT’s dial design is modern and familiar, with a blend of applied rounded Arabic numerals and brightly polished applied oval indices topped by clean paddle hands. The rounded polished frame around the 3 o’clock date window keeps the overall aesthetic intact as much as possible, but with the other oversized Arabic numerals, a no-date version would likely feel more balanced and charismatic.

The Movement

If you turn the watch over, the sapphire crystal caseback reveals the BR-CAL.325 movement, which is based on a Sellita SW-330. This automatic calibre displays central time, the date, and of course the second time zone. The GMT hand can be set independently through the crown, in one-hour increments, and in both directions. The movement runs at a frequency of 28,800vph (4Hz) and offers 42 hours of power reserve. The movement is topped with a rotor in the same skeletonized style as its siblings.

The Bracelet

Like all BR 05 models, the BR 05 GMT replica comes on either a grooved black rubber strap or an integrated steel bracelet. Both are attached to the large, polished centre link that comes off of the sloped lug-side of the case. The brushed and polished stainless steel bracelet is designed as a single piece with the case, the link structure radians just enough to fit on the wrist, and the bracelet is flexible and supple. Bracelet with stainless steel folding clasp.

Summary

The launch of the new BR 05 GMT watch replica has once again enriched the BR 05 series product line, with the iconic "circle in the square" case shape, a new 41mm watch diameter, 100-meter water resistance, 42-hour power reserve, integrated chain belt design. The price for the replica Bell & Ross BR 05 GMT is EUR 4,500 on a rubber strap or EUR 4,990 on a steel bracelet.
