Bell & Ross BR-05 Chrono S.T. Dupont: Limited-Edition Watch Inspired by the World of Luxury Cigars

The collaboration between Bell & Ross and S.T. Dupont has resulted in a limited-edition release that merges the world of fine watchmaking with luxury cigar accessories. Produced in only 150 pieces, the BR-05 Chrono S.T. Dupont is accompanied by a dedicated set including a Ligne 2 lighter and an exclusive cigar cutter. With this project, Bell & Ross moves toward a more refined and lifestyle-oriented expression, combining technical precision with the rituals of luxury and leisure.

The watch itself features a 42 mm case crafted from a combination of satin-finished steel and 18K rose gold. Inside is the automatic BR-CAL.326 movement offering a 60-hour power reserve. The brown sunray dial is accented with gold-toned details, a small seconds display at 9 o’clock, and a 30-minute chronograph counter positioned at 3 o’clock. Skeletonized hands and applied indexes are filled with beige Super-LumiNova that emits a green glow in low-light conditions.

The BR-05 Chrono S.T. Dupont is available either on an integrated two-tone bracelet in steel and rose gold or on a brown alligator-pattern leather strap. The overall design has been carefully coordinated with the accompanying S.T. Dupont accessories so the entire set feels visually unified. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal and 100-meter water resistance further reinforce that this is not only a luxurious object, but also a fully functional sports chronograph.

Special attention was also given to the presentation box. For this edition, Bell & Ross created a lacquered Macassar ebony case lined with cedar wood, designed to function as a true cigar humidor.

Inside are the watch, the Ligne 2 lighter, and the specially designed cigar cutter, transforming the entire package into a collector’s piece aimed at enthusiasts of both horology and cigar culture.

Behind the collaboration stands a shared philosophy between the two French brands, centered around tradition, craftsmanship, and precision. Through this project, Bell & Ross and S.T. Dupont combine technical expertise with the aesthetics of a sophisticated lifestyle, creating an edition defined by luxurious materials, meticulous details, and a strong sense of exclusivity.
