SpotlightNinja Vibes: Introducing The Matt Black Bell & Ross BR 03 Cyber Ceramic

Massively inspired by the design of professional stealth aircraft, the BR 03 Cyber Ceramic by Bell & Ross is straight out of the future. Limited to 500 pieces, the timepiece is a matt black wonder in ceramic—a material that is a testament to the codes of modern watchmaking. This BR 03 version effortlessly blends the brand’s innovative technical approach with progressive design to deliver a groundbreaking timepiece that rightfully marks the advent of the cyber age. Bell & Ross BR 03 is quite an avant-garde watch collection, and the latest addition, the Cyber Ceramic, further enhances this series. The new timepiece follows the stylistic expression of the BR 03 line that is masterfully combined with the daring futuristic design of Cyber Concept watches and the collection’s core inspiration—aircraft cockpit instrumentation.

Black Beauty: The Bell & Ross BR 03 Cyber Ceramic

The multi-faceted design and bold lines of the Bell & Ross Cyber Ceramic bring to mind the robust aesthetics plus sharp-edged fuselage that stealth aircraft are built with. This design enables stealth aircraft to operate covertly and fulfil missions undetected, which Cyber Ceramic does as well, making it one of the latest discreet matt black watches in the contemporary market.

To further strengthen the appeal of the BR 03 Cyber Ceramic, the Parisian watchmaker has gone for an open-worked dial that offers an unobstructed view of the main components of its mechanical self-winding movement. With this 3D skeletonising and bold shapes, the new Cyber Ceramic represents the technical prowess of its creators, fully reflected in the 42mm case. Ceramic is a cutting-edge material that involves a complex production performed at extremely high temperatures for improved resistance.

Paired with a black rubber strap, the BR 03 Cyber Ceramic finds its immense power in the robust calibre BR-CAL.383 automatic movement

Finer elements have either been eliminated or incorporated within the watch body; the lugs have been removed and the housing for the rubber strap is cut into the case itself, making the overall design structure of the Cyber Ceramic seemingly cohesive. This BR 03 version uses ceramic down to the finer details; the 12 indexes and brand logo are decorated with ceramic and treated in a glossy black finish. Placed directly onto the open-worked dial and protected under an anti-reflective sapphire crystal are Super-LumiNova applied black micro-blasted hour and minute hands that lend a green glow, along with the balance wheel positioned at six o’clock.

Water-resistant up to 50m, the case houses the calibre BR-CAL.383 manufacture. This high-frequency automatic mechanical movement operates at 28,800vph and archives up to 48-hour power reserve. With its matt black shade and meticulously crafted open-worked dial, the BR 03 Cyber Ceramic commands attention and showcases a bold, unrestrained perspective on the future of watchmaking.
