Introducing Bell & Ross BR 01 Cyber Cranium Sapphire

Every so often, even essentially the most devoted people or organizations like to interrupt character and do one thing nobody ever anticipated. With a storied devotion to the sphere of aviation and navy forces, Bell & Ross stepped out of its consolation zone in 2009 when it created its first Cranium watch. Twelve years down the road, we’ve seen a number of iterations of BR 01 and BR 03 watches donning the “Jolly Roger” like depiction of a cranium and crossbones. What began as a static picture, like within the BR 01 Burning Cranium Tatoo as an illustration, developed into the animated BR 01 Laughing Cranium in 2018, and the edgy BR 01 Cyber Cranium simply final yr. Utilizing that Cyber Cranium as a reference, the Parisian model now presents the Bell & Ross BR 01 Cyber Cranium Sapphire.

Admittedly, it’s not the primary time the model makes use of a transparent sapphire crystal case in a watch, neither is it the primary time they’ve finished so with the Cyber Cranium theme. Bell & Ross have created extremely technical watches just like the BR X2 Skeleton Tourbillon Micro-Rotor and the BR X1 Skeleton Tourbillon Sapphire, utilizing the idea of maximum transparency. And it was solely not too long ago when the 2021 BR 01 Cyber Cranium Solely Watch was auctioned for charity, donning an orange cranium and crossbones.

Persevering with down that very same path, and incorporating the sharper case design of the BR 01 Cyber Cranium, just about the whole lot turns into clear with this watch. So what we’re taking a look at, or somewhat wanting by means of is a 43.50mm broad and 45mm tall faceted, full sapphire case. The one non-transparent exterior part is the 8-sided metal crown.

Missing any type of a conventional dial, time is indicated by central hour and minutes hand with Tremendous-LumiNova inserts. Printed indices on the within of the highest crystal assist with studying time a bit. This all provides technique to the massive, full sapphire crystal cranium and crossbones. A visual screw on every nook, a signature BR 01/03 aspect, holds the motion in place. On prime, you may see the stability wheel (the mind), and while you wind the watch by means of the crown, the decrease jaw strikes up and down in a laughing movement.

The BR-CAL.209 motion, which might be seen from all sides, is developed with Concepto. It has a rhodium-plated major plate and bridges and virtually solely follows the contours of the cranium on prime. The frequency is 28,800vph (or 4Hz) and when absolutely wound the barrel holds as much as 48 hours of vitality.

The Bell & Ross BR 01 Cyber Cranium Sapphire is worn on a translucent rubber strap, with a black PVD coated metal pin buckle. It’s offered as a restricted version of 10 items solely, at a worth of EUR 105,000 every.
