Bell & Ross BR-05 Chrono S.T. Dupont Introduced
A 150-Piece Limited Edition Celebrating Fine Watchmaking and the Art of Cigars
Introducing the Bell & Ross BR-05 Chrono S.T. Dupont, a limited edition chronograph created in partnership with the renowned French luxury maison S.T. Dupont.
Limited to just 150 individually numbered pieces, the release marks the fourth chapter in Bell & Ross’s cigar-inspired Edición Limitada series, combining Swiss watchmaking expertise with the refined lifestyle associated with premium cigars.
Presented as a complete collector’s set, the watch is accompanied by a matching S.T. Dupont lighter and cigar cutter, all housed inside a luxurious presentation box that can also serve as a humidor. The result is a unique creation designed for enthusiasts who appreciate both mechanical craftsmanship and the rituals of cigar culture.
A Tribute To The World Of Cigars
The Bell & Ross BR-05 Chrono S.T. Dupont draws inspiration from the rich colours and traditions of the cigar world. Deep brown tones, warm rose gold accents, and polished steel surfaces create a sophisticated palette reminiscent of aged tobacco leaves, cedar wood humidors, and luxury smoking accessories.
Bell & Ross highlights the parallels between watchmaking and cigar making, where craftsmanship, patience, precision, and tradition play essential roles. Just as a fine watch represents years of technical expertise, a premium cigar reflects generations of knowledge and meticulous attention to detail.
The new limited edition embraces these shared values while bringing them into the urban-inspired BR-05 collection.
A Refined BR-05 Chronograph
At the heart of the watch is a 42 mm case crafted from satin-finished and polished steel, complemented by 18-carat rose gold details that enhance its luxurious character.
The brown sunray dial creates shifting reflections under changing light conditions, adding depth and warmth to the overall design. Rose gold-coloured applied numerals, indices, and skeletonized hands reinforce the elegant aesthetic while maintaining excellent legibility thanks to beige Super-LumiNova® inserts.
A two-register chronograph layout features a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and a small seconds display at 9 o’clock, while the S.T. Dupont logo appears discreetly at 6 o’clock, highlighting the collaboration between the two French maisons.
Buyers can choose between a brown calfskin leather strap with a faux-alligator finish and black patina effect, or a two-tone steel and rose gold integrated bracelet.
Powered By The BR-CAL.326
Inside the Bell & Ross BR-05 Chrono S.T. Dupont beats the BR-CAL.326 automatic movement, visible through the sapphire crystal caseback.
The movement provides a 60-hour power reserve and drives the watch’s chronograph functions, central chronograph seconds hand, date display, and running seconds.
As expected from the BR-05 collection, the watch offers a robust 100-meter water resistance rating, combining everyday practicality with luxury finishing.
A Collaboration Built On Shared Craftsmanship
The partnership between Bell & Ross and S.T. Dupont was born from a shared appreciation for craftsmanship and French savoir-faire.
While Bell & Ross is known for its professional instrument watches designed in Paris and manufactured in Switzerland, S.T. Dupont has built its reputation since 1924 through the production of luxury lighters, writing instruments, leather goods, and smoking accessories at its Faverges manufacture in Haute-Savoie.
Both brands share a commitment to precision, quality, and artisanal expertise, making this collaboration a natural extension of their respective philosophies.
An Exceptional Collector’s Presentation
One of the highlights of the Bell & Ross BR-05 Chrono S.T. Dupont is its presentation case.
Each watch is delivered in a handcrafted Macassar ebony cigar box featuring the logos of both brands. The interior is lined with Spanish cedar, a wood highly valued by cigar collectors for its ability to maintain ideal humidity conditions while naturally protecting tobacco.
