Bell & Ross BR-05 SKELETON GOLD

The Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Gold is praised for its distinctive and attractive design, warm color, intricate skeletonized movement, and balanced 40mm wearability. However, its price, particularly at over $30,000, is widely considered a significant drawback, especially given its Sellita SW300-based movement. Some reviewers and owners note the movement's 38-hour power reserve as a potential drawback for enthusiasts. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Gold to be a visually striking watch, but its high price point relative to its movement is a consistent point of contention.

From video reviewers

The case finishing and skeletonized dial are highly praised. The 38-hour power reserve is a point of concern.
