Nighttime missions demand clarity, precision, and absolute trust in your instruments — and Bell & Ross understands this better than most. The brand’s latest release, the BR-X3 Night Vision, taps directly into the world of fighter jet technology, drawing inspiration from the glowing green head-up displays (HUD) used by pilots navigating after dark.
This is the third timepiece in the BR-X3 series, and perhaps the most striking. Limited to only 250 pieces, the Night Vision marks a bold leap in Bell & Ross’s journey of transforming cockpit-inspired functionality into wearable engineering.
Designed for Darkness
The watch’s 41mm case breaks away from conventional forms with a multi-layered “sandwich” construction, built for strength and lightness. Two high-tech LUM-CAMO composite plates — a fusion of carbon fiber and SLN resin — give the case a stealthy presence under daylight and a luminous energy in low light.
Photoluminescent green rubber cylinders fastened with exposed screws further enhance its nighttime personality, while a black PVD-coated titanium middle case ensures durability without unnecessary weight.
A Dial That Feels Straight Out of a Cockpit
The openworked dial reveals the movement beneath smoked sapphire glass, framed by an X-shaped structure that reinforces the BR-X3 identity. The green-tinted sapphire crystal, luminous indexes, numerals, and cutout details create a visually powerful scene — almost like looking into the glowing interface of a night flight control console.
The large date display and 70-hour power reserve indicator are also accented in Super-LumiNova, ensuring full readability long after sunset.
Powered by Precision
At the heart of the watch is the BR-CAL.323, a chronometer-certified automatic movement developed in collaboration with Kenissi Manufacture. With a robust 70-hour power reserve, it’s built to perform just as reliably on the ground as in the air.
Completing the Trilogy — with a Descent Into Night
The Night Vision rounds off the BR-X3 trilogy, following:
- BR-X3 Black Titanium – A stealth aircraft-inspired debut
- BR-X3 Blue Steel – A sleek, sky-toned take on modern instrument design
- BR-X3 Night Vision – Crafted for the world after dark
Together, they represent the most progressive evolution of the iconic BR-03 line — each model designed around a distinct phase of high-performance aviation.
A New Chapter for Night Pilots and Watch Collectors Alike
With its futuristic materials, experimental architectural design, and uncompromising readability, the BR-X3 Night Vision is a timepiece born in the spirit of flight. It speaks to collectors who appreciate technical boldness, as well as thrill-seekers who feel most alive when the lights go low and the world falls silent.
This is Bell & Ross at its most daring: sharp, luminous, and unapologetically built for those who navigate the night.
