Bell & Ross partners with S.T. Dupont for limited‑edition BR‑05 Chrono watch

Swiss‑made luxury watch brand Bell & Ross has released a special collaboration with French maker S.T. Dupont. The partnership produced the BR‑05 Chrono S.T. Dupont, a 42 mm stainless‑steel and 18K rose‑gold case featuring an amber‑brown “sun‑ray” dial inspired by cigar culture. It is powered by the automatic Cal. BR‑CAL. 326 movement with a roughly 60‑hour power reserve and is water‑resistant to 100 m.

Only 150 pieces will be made worldwide. Each watch comes in a handcrafted box of ebony and Spanish cedar that can store up to 50 cigars and includes a matching S.T. Dupont lighter and cigar cutter. Prices are listed around ¥2.9 million (approximately US$20 k). The limited edition is slated for release in 2026 and highlights the fusion of high‑end horology with premium cigar accessories.
