The short answer

The closest alternative to the Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Black Ceramic is the Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Black Lum Ceramic ($9,500) — same family (BR-05) and Square case. If price is the constraint, the Bell & Ross BR-03 at $3,800 (vs $8,900 for the BR-05 Skeleton Black Ceramic) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Boderry STORM - Square Automatic Titanium Watch is the standout microbrand take — square case and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hublot Square Bang Unico Sapphire 42mm ($27,600) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
