Bell & Ross launches BR 01 Cyber Skull Sapphire Ice Blue limited edition watch Bell & Ross launches the BR 01 Cyber Skull Sapphire Ice Blue watch, adding a stunning new member to the BR 01 Cyber Skull series. Featuring a striking transparent sapphire case, this timepiece displays a vibrant blue skull – an adventurous symbol adopted by Bell & Ross to represent the brand’s modern design.

From Vikings to airborne troops, elite troops often choose skulls as emblems to ward off bad luck. In the fields of watchmaking and art, this pattern is often used to express philosophical themes such as vanity and life and death. In 2009, Bell & Ross changed its aviation and military style and became one of the first brands to produce skull watches. In 2020, the BR 01 Cyber Skull watch released by the brand was another great success.

In 2021, the Bell & Ross BR 01 Cyber Skull Sapphire watch made its debut at the Only Watch charity auction and triggered a bidding frenzy. It was finally sold for 220,000 Swiss francs, twice the high pre-auction estimate. Now, this impressive model is available in a new ice blue version.

The new watch has a diameter of 43.5 mm and is made of sapphire. Processing of this material is extremely challenging, requiring a hydrogen flame of over 2,000°C to heat the aluminum oxide until it melts. The skeleton structure is made of galvanized brass and treated with blue PVD. The color choice is both thoughtful and appropriate. Bell & Ross co-founder and creative director Bruno Belamich described it as "the perfect combination of icy sky blue and crystal clear sapphire case, like an angular iceberg."

This watch is equipped with BR-CAL.209 self-winding movement with a 48-hour power reserve. The watch comes with a transparent, soft silicone strap with a stainless steel pin buckle.
