The BR-X3 Night Vision marks the next evolution in the avant-garde BR-X3 trilogy, propelling Bell & Ross’s iconic BR 03 line into bold new territory. Inspired by the high-tech aesthetics and functionality of aeronautical head-up displays (HUDs), this limited edition of 250 pieces is a high-performance time instrument crafted for the dark and a contemporary homage to night flight missions.
Drawing from the brand’s deep connection to aviation and military-grade design, the BR-X3 Night Vision offers exceptional nighttime legibility, advanced materials, and a technical, futuristic aesthetic. It builds on Bell & Ross’s expertise in photoluminescence, reimagining the display codes of cockpit instruments for the wrist.
Luminous And Technical
The 41mm case of the BR-X3 Night Vision features a multi-material sandwich construction, delivering strength and lightness. The upper and lower plates are made from LUM-CAMO, a pioneering composite material that combines carbon fibre with photoluminescent SLN resin, enabling the watch to glow powerfully in low light.
Fastened by four protective cylinders in photoluminescent green rubber, the case is anchored by a middle section in black PVD-coated titanium, offering enhanced durability and a stealth aesthetic. This layering reinforces the timepiece’s status as a true instrument for professionals, especially in nocturnal and low-visibility conditions.
Inspired By HUD Technology
The BR-X3 Night Vision’s dial reflects the visual language of fighter jet HUD systems with vivid green Super-LumiNova® detailing throughout. Its open-worked, multi-layered design features an X-shaped architecture, offering full visibility of the skeletonised movement beneath a smoked sapphire glass.
Photoluminescent cut-outs float above the dial, topped by a green-tinted sapphire crystal, creating a sense of technical depth and dynamic luminosity. The green Super-LumiNova also outlines the large date aperture, 70-hour power reserve indicator, numerals, indices, and hands ensuring immediate readability in total darkness.
The caseback continues this visual narrative, revealing the BR-CAL.323 calibre through a green-tinted sapphire crystal. This automatic movement, developed by Kenissi Manufacture for Bell & Ross, delivers a 70-hour power reserve and COSC-certified chronometric performance — the gold standard for Swiss precision.
A Trilogy Complete
The BR-X3 Night Vision follows the BR-X3 Black Titanium, inspired by stealth aircraft, and the BR-X3 Blue Steel, which evoked the colours of a space flight suit. This third chapter adds a new layer of innovation to the BR-X3 saga: the immersive experience of night flight.
As with every timepiece in the BR-X3 collection, the Night Vision represents the cutting edge of Bell & Ross design — a fusion of experimental engineering, uncompromising legibility, and aesthetic boldness. It is a watch made not just to tell time, but to embody mission-ready precision in the dark.
