Description
Evoking celestial travel, this high-tech professional instrument watch, the new BR-X3 Blue Steel, takes Bell & Ross’s extreme series into orbit. With finishes and styling that combine steel and deep blue, its design is inspired by the aerospace universe—a journey into the vastness of space. With silver-toned metal and blue decorative elements—especially the sunray-finished background—the dial of the BR-X3 Blue Steel offers a window into the sky. Its X-shaped design is a hallmark of the X3 identity. The metallic decoration is polished on the edges for a refined look and micro-blasted on top to emphasize the watch’s technical side. Applied metallic indices, numerals, and hands are photoluminescent thanks to white Super-LumiNova, ensuring optimal readability in the dark.Notably, the bezel ring and structural columns are made of anodized blue aluminum. Connoisseurs of the space race will recognize the material and finish, reminiscent of the connection systems on the Apollo 11 crew's flight suits.
