WATCHES & WONDERS 2024︰Bell & Ross深黑美學
雖然坊間有云「黑色不是顏色」，但當代藝術及航空迷一樣對黑色的雋永優雅及型格特質情有獨鍾。飛機駕駛艙儀表顯示一般以黑色為基調，黑色亦是Bell & Ross專業功能時計專用色調，配以白色指針及時標，對比鮮明易讀。

BR 05 Black Ceramic
Bell & Ross於2019年推出以都市時尚為主調的BR05系列，方形錶殼邊角較為圓滑，加添一抹時尚優雅氣質。BR05黑色陶瓷錶延續這設計哲學，亦帶來更多的風格變化，其中一個特點是整合式錶鏈設計。Bruno Belamich解釋說：「錶殼及錶帶一氣呵成，第一個鏈節其實是錶殼的一部分，這設計緊扣品牌風格之餘亦加強腕錶個性。自七十年代起這類設計成為業界的標準，應用於我們的錶款中，設計必須緊湊輕巧，線條美感和諧，並且兼顧人體工學設計原則。」

BR-X5 Black Titanium
全新BR-X5 Black Titanium腕錶以輕巧鈦金屬製作。BR-X5的錶殼由多個部件組成，純美線條襯托前衛意念及輕巧強韌的特質。41毫米鈦金屬錶殼更輕更舒適，多層式結構由四顆螺絲貫穿鑲密。錶殼以鈦金屬製作，有一望而知的灰色調，微噴砂打磨造出不反光啞面金屬質感，突顯錶款的獨特設計。自製機芯70小時動力儲備。
