The BR-X5 GREEN LUM with its innovative composite material: LM3D

Watches and lume have been inseparable allies especially since mankind sought to explore the underwater wonders. Now, the LUM collection originally launched in 2017 by Bell & Ross is taking neon luminosity to the max. The BR-X5 Green LUM features an innovative LM3D novel material case construction, blending photoluminescent material with high-end design. The resulting opus is a creative and quirky machine that would be unmissable even from a mile.

A Luminescent Case

The 41mm case of the BR-X5 Green LUM glows, thanks to its special composite material construction. It occurs in a multi-layer assembly with alternation of LM3D and grade 2 micro-blasted black DLC titanium.

Sculpted from a solid block of DLC-coated grade 2 titanium, the case rests nestled between twin shields crafted from LM3D, the photoluminescent composite material born of quartz fibers that cast a radiant green luminescence. When darkness descends, the entire case illuminates, emphasizing the dial's array of details: hours, minutes, seconds, date and power reserve.

A Tested Mechanism For A Glowing Machine

Elevating the BR-X5 Green LUM to heights of mechanical precision is the Kenissi designed caliber BR-CAL.323. Serving the timepiece 70 hours of power reserve, the mechanism is a high-end creation boosting the watch’s ruggedness as well as lightness.
