Bell Ross has recently announced a new version of the BR 05 GMT, which features a silver-white call and adds a second color option to the GMT models of the integrated-bracelet styling of the BR 05 lineup. With a legible red 24-hour hand, this caller GMT looks great with a silver face and is also the first time that BR designers have offered a BR 05 in a colour that wasnt black and blue. I think they chose well.
Like the black dial BR 05 GREENWICH MEAN TIME (GMT) that was launched last year, the actual BR 05 GMT White uses a 41mm steel case and can be had with a full steel bracelet or a rubber strap designed to integrate directly with the situation and its non-traditional lug shape. The case is 11. 07mm thick and has a screw-down crown, 100 meters of water resistance, and sapphire crystals front as well as back (with the back offering a view from the BR 05 GMTs 360-degree oscillating weight).

Inside, we find a GMT (GREENWICH MEAN TIME) movement that is based on the Sellita SW-330 and also which Bells Ross calls the particular BR-Cal 325. Its an automatic movement that ticks at 4 Hz, has ~42 hours associated with power reserve, along with features a date at three along with a caller-style 24-hour independently adjustable GREENWICH MEAN TIME function. This means that you can adjust your view of a second timezone without changing or disrupting the main time display. While somewhat more cumbersome to use when actively changing time zones, this GMT function is very handy for tracking a second time zone.
While I remain a complete sucker for a white-dialed GMT, honestly, that is not the only reason that I figured the new Bell Ross was worth a more in-depth look - Ive been curious about typically the BR 05 since it was launched in 2019 having a 40mm automatic model. I like the design, and the sort of instrument-like take on often the Genta-derived integrated bracelet sports watch format. Furthermore, the exact sizing seems good and they appear to look great on wrists. Bell and Ross has always been of interest to me, but Ive never found one of their quirky square-cased models that actually worked really well on my bony wrist. Perhaps a band would make a big differnce.
And now they have a GMT in a white watch dial. Sure, the very dial in addition to hand design have borrowed a good deal from the Explorer II, but they are far from the only brand to find some inspiration via the Iwc catalog, plus Id argue that the square case and even general aesthetic insulate the main BR 05 GMT from feeling altogether too similar. Furthermore, I love that they maintain much of the Bell Ross design language in the dial (especially with the large Arabic markers) and also the use of the white/grey 24-hour rehaut.
At $5, 000 and also a third-party movement, the BR 05 GMT has stiff competition. Collectors with more conventional tastes would likely opt for a Tudor Black Bay GMT, which offers local jumping (flyer) functionality, classic GMT styling, and a circumstance of the same width (though a good bit thicker). Additionally , together with Im not comparing the two on build quality or general aesthetic, if you simply need a caller GREENWICH MEAN TIME (GMT), Seiko will happily sell you a lovely model using the same functionality for around $500.
But let me be fair, the BR 05 GMT (GREENWICH MEAN TIME) offers an entirely different look and feel to the aforementioned competition and Id believe Bell and also Ross is actually both not really new to this particular price point and that cost sensitivity is likely not a core concern for BRs intended audience. As a guy who has long had the actual BR 03-92 Diver chilling out rent-free i believe, this new BR 05 GREENWICH MEAN TIME marks the very first time Ive experienced anything more than professional curiosity in the lineup and I think its a handsome addition that Would love to try out my own band wrist. But what you think - is the BR 05 GMT a great candidate for a hands-on follow-up? Let me know in the comments.
