Bell & Ross BR-X3 Blue Steel: The Next Generation of Aero-Design
The Bell & Ross BR-X3 Blue Steel (BRX3R-BLU-ST/SRB) is the pinnacle of the brand’s Experimental collection. Reimagining the legendary square case with a modular sandwich construction, this 41mm timepiece bridges the gap between professional flight instruments and avant-garde luxury.
Visual Audit: The Iconic “X” Dial
Our visual audit reveals a multi-dimensional dial that celebrates technical transparency and aerospace aesthetics.
- Three-Plate Dial Construction: A sunray blue base is framed by a micro-blasted “X” structure that organizes the power reserve and date displays.
- Anodized Blue Accents: The bezel ring and structural side columns are crafted from blue anodized aluminum, echoing the connection systems of Apollo-era space suits.
- Super-LumiNova® X1: “Baignoire-style” rhodium-plated indices and skeletonized hands provide high-intensity green luminescence for zero-light legibility.
Material Verification: Stainless Steel & Perforated Rubber
The BRX3R-BLU-ST/SRB utilizes a high-tech material mix designed for maximum durability and weight optimization.
- Satin-Polished Steel Case: The 41mm “circle-within-a-square” case features a mix of fine-brushed and high-mirror polished surfaces.
- Openworked Blue Rubber: The perforated strap is designed for breathability and a lightweight feel, perfectly integrating into the faceted case lugs.
- Sapphire Exhibition Back: A clear case-back showcases the bespoke oscillating rotor and the industrial finishing of the manufacture movement.
Mechanical Functionality: Manufacture Calibre BR-CAL.323
