The closest alternative to the Bell & Ross BR-X5 is the Bremont Supernova ($8,250) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Nivada Grenchen F77 MK2 41mm Automatic at $1,460 (vs $8,990 for the BR-X5) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Baume & Mercier Riviera Small Seconds is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Automatic. Stepping up, the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5726 ($57,015) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
