BR 01 Skull Bronze Tourbillon

For Only Watch 2015, Bell & Ross has created a bold, one-of-a-kind BR 01 Skull Bronze Tourbillon watch using a skull, or "Jolly Roger", that symbolizes the courage to intimidate and ward off ill fortune.

The bold skull and cross bones formed by the bezel and the screws create a resemblance to pirate flags of the past. Positioned on top of the 3D black honeycomb structure is a hand engraved 18k solid gold skull. Sword and dagger hands appearing on the dial are traditional motifs from the military world that represent bravery. Powered by the caliber BR-CAL.281 mechanical movement with a tourbillon, regulator-style time indication, 5-day power reserve, and accuracy indicator functions.

The tourbillon’s pink gold revolving cage is visible at the bottom of the dial. The use of micro-blasted bronze for the case is unique for Only Watch. Acquiring a patina over time, the bronze will soon develop an incomparable, ancient look. Funds raised during the Only Watch charity auction on 7 November 2015 will benefit Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
