The BR-05 GMT Sky Blue

This is the latest take on the BR-05, a sky blue GMT version.

And I have to say that this one hits me in that sweet visceral spot. Yes, just about everyone and their dog is now rushing to push out an integrated bracelet watch. But this one is a bit special. The sky blue option is a new twist on GMT watches which typically feature a black or a dark blue dial. I know it sounds sort of silly, but I have to say that the brightness of the dial simply makes me smile.

And if the full steel isn't your jam? Not to worry, Bell & Ross has you covered with a tasty rubber strap option.
