Bell & Ross BR-X5 - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

A bit like the full Lum in 2019, this watch is a bit of a UFO. Lum indexes and hands but not only. This model has the particularity of having a case that Lume almost entirely. It is composed of two materials, LM3D which is a composite material and titanium. Like the other X5s, the case is composed of multiple layers stacked on top of each other, a bit like a Cooper at BK. We are on a fairly divisive model and like its big sister the 03 Full Lum it is not a first watch. You already have to have a somewhat versatile watch to take the plunge with this X5. In my opinion, it is less marked than the 03 because it keeps the look of the more technical 05 but just as chic and sober as the 03 does not have. Easy to wear whether in a suit or in a casual outfit, it is very light and is quickly forgotten when you wear it. This watch has two complications, the 3-day power reserve and a large date that will remind connoisseurs of the brand of the BR01 Alti. the movement inside is a kenissi, renowned for its reliability, it can be seen through the openwork smoked case back. it is once darkness has arrived that the magical side of this watch operates, we then have a fully lit case on the wrist and even if it is a gadget it is super fun, the readability on the dial is not bad but remains limited when the hands overlap the rdm. You will have understood this model does not disappoint me, moreover it is a limited series of 500 pieces which means that we are sure not to see one on all wrists. This exclusive side remains an essential asset. I think we either love or hate the model, there is no half measure. what it lacks however if you are affected by strapitis like me is a wider choice of straps. we are limited to the straps of the X5 which only exist in 4 colors. price-wise it stings, but everything that is a bit WTF has a price accordingly, you have to know what you are buying and that we are not here to hope to make a capital gain behind it.
