Aeronautical Heritage Meets Future Design

The BR-X5’s dial showcases an evolving iridescent effect that shifts between blue, green, violet, and yellow, achieved through advanced PVD treatments. The polished, rhodium-plated indices and skeletonized hands, filled with Super-LumiNova, provide optimal visibility.

The power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock and the date window at 3 o’clock enhance symmetry and functionality. The kaleidoscopic dial adds a dynamic, ever-changing presence on the wrist, blending technical sophistication with bold aesthetics. This timepiece is an expression of style and innovation. Its sophisticated design is brought to life by the kaleidoscopic dial, revealing an infinite palette of blue to green, occasionally shifting to yellow and violet with the slightest twist of the wrist.
