The BR 01 CYBER SKULL SAPPHIRE ICE BLUE stands out as a refreshing contemporary high-end watchmaking timepiece. Hidden behind its mocking smile, the blue skull reveals, in complete transparency, a masterpiece of craftmanship in the service of watchmaking.
ICE BLUE
The new BR 01 CYBER SKULL SAPPHIRE ICE BLUE is the latest member in the BR 01 Cyber Skull collection of rare watches. In art and watchmaking, the skull motif is well known as an expression of the philosophical theme of vanity, associated with the passing of time, life and death. This skull is also a tribute to the special forces units for which Bell & Ross designs and develops instrument timepieces. If boldness had to have a colour, it would be blue for sure. The meaning of the colour blue has changed several times over the centuries. In modern times, it has become a symbol of nature and purity. For a new exceptional execution, it is this fresh ice blue tone , a bold and unusual colour in fine watchmaking, which was chosen to adorn the central part of the dial. Meticulously made in galvanised brass and blue PVD, it is the true face of the BR 01 CYBER SKULL SAPPHIRE ICE BLUE.
THE MAGIC OF TRANSPARENCY: A REMARKABLE PIECE OF EXPERTISE
To express all the fascinating power of the skull, Bell & Ross has chosen to place it in a 45 mm case, which is waterresistant to 30 metres and completely transparent, including the back. This case is made of sapphire , a high-tech composite material that is almost as hard and scratch-resistant as diamond. Transparency is also a way of exposing the contemporary know-how of fine watchmaking. To make the overall look perfectly consistent on the wrist, Bell & Ross has equipped the watch with a translucent soft silicone strap, which is closed by a polished and satin-finished steel pin buckle. A limited edition of only 25 pieces, the new BR 01 CYBER SKULL SAPPHIRE ICE BLUE is an ultra-exclusive timepiece by nature.
