The Bell & Ross BR-X5 Racing is a 41 mm automatic watch limited to 500 pieces. Its titanium case is paired with woven-carbon-fibre bezel decoration, while the BR-CAL.323 manufacture movement provides an approximately 70-hour power reserve. Bell & Ross lists two strap configurations; its US and UK product pages showed different versions and prices, and both were marked unavailable when checked.
What sets the BR-X5 Racing apart?
Bell & Ross frames the Racing edition around a blend of motorsport-inspired instrumentation and technical materials. The brand says the dial draws on racing-car instrument panels, as well as the Aero GT supercar and stealth-aircraft design. That is the brand’s design rationale, rather than an independent assessment of the watch’s performance.
The smoked dial is laid out with minutes on the outer flange, hours on the dial crystal, and a central seconds hand with chequered quarter-second graduations. Luminescent numerals and hands are intended to aid reading in low light. A date window sits at 3 o’clock, and the power-reserve indicator is at 9 o’clock. These display details are described on Bell & Ross’s US product page.

These figures are specifications published by Bell & Ross, not independent test results. The brand describes the titanium-and-carbon construction as serving comfort and resilience, but the product information does not provide independent measurements of either.
Two strap configurations and official listings
Bell & Ross lists the BR-X5 Racing with either a titanium bracelet or a black rubber strap. The official regional pages show different configurations, so their prices should not be read as a like-for-like comparison.
| Official listing | Reference and configuration | Listed price and status |
|---|---|---|
| United States | BRX5R-RAC-TI/STI, titanium bracelet | $12,300; marked unavailable on the US product page when checked |
| United Kingdom | BRX5R-RAC-TI/SRB, black rubber strap | £9,400; marked unavailable on the UK product page when checked |
Those are regional product-page snapshots, not a current cross-market price comparison. An unavailable label on either Bell & Ross page does not establish whether the watch is in stock elsewhere or available through a retailer.

Bell & Ross states that the BR-X5 Racing is limited to 500 pieces. The edition size is the same across the brand’s product information for the two listed strap configurations; the pages do not establish how the 500 pieces are allocated between them.
For a purchase inquiry, use the exact reference for the desired configuration—BRX5R-RAC-TI/STI for the titanium bracelet or BRX5R-RAC-TI/SRB for black rubber—and check directly with Bell & Ross or a watch retailer for current stock and pricing. The official unavailable status is specific to those pages at the time they were checked.
