    The special-edition piece is nicknamed the Greenback and limited to 111 pieces because numerically, the three digits look like MBS’ iconic three towers.

    This is the first time the dial of the BR 05 is being executed in green (hence its nickname) and also the first time B&R has embossed a monogram of the ampersand from the brand’s logo all over the sunray dial.

    In keeping with the overall green theme of the watch, the Super-LumiNova used on the markers and numerals also emit a light green colour and a colour-matched date wheel.

    The Greenback is water-resistant to 100m and is powered by the Bell & Ross BR-CAL.321, which features 38 hours of power reserve and beats at 28,800 bph.
