Bell & Ross has unveiled the BR-05 Chrono S.T. Dupont, a new 150-piece limited edition created in partnership with French luxury house S.T. Dupont, marking the fourth chapter in the watchmaker’s cigar-inspired Edición Limitada collection.

The collaboration brings together two brands known for craftsmanship and precision, combining Bell & Ross’ expertise in watchmaking with S.T. Dupont’s heritage in luxury lighters and cigar accessories.

Designed for cigar enthusiasts and collectors, the release extends beyond a timepiece, arriving as a complete lifestyle set that includes a matching lighter, cigar cutter and a presentation case that doubles as a humidor.

At the centre of the collection is a 42mm stainless steel chronograph featuring Bell & Ross’ signature BR-05 design language. The watch is distinguished by a sunray brown dial that reflects the warm tones of premium tobacco leaves, complemented by gold-coloured indices, numerals and hands treated with Super-LumiNova for enhanced legibility.

The colour palette draws heavily from the cigar world, blending shades of brown, gold and steel to create an aesthetic inspired by craftsmanship, ageing and refinement. Buyers can choose between an integrated steel bracelet or a gradient brown alligator-style leather strap that further reinforces the watch’s connection to cigar culture.

The BR-05 Chrono S.T. Dupont continues a theme first introduced by Bell & Ross in 2006 with the BR Vintage 126 XL Edición Limitada, followed by subsequent cigar-inspired releases in 2015 and 2022. Each edition paired luxury watchmaking with the rituals and lifestyle associated with cigar appreciation.

For this latest collaboration, Bell & Ross and S.T. Dupont have also created an elaborate presentation box crafted from Macassar ebony and lined with Spanish cedar, materials traditionally associated with premium cigar humidors.

Inside, the watch is accompanied by a specially designed Ligne 2 lighter featuring brown lacquer finishes and dual branding, alongside a matching cigar cutter.

Limited to just 150 numbered pieces worldwide, the BR-05 Chrono S.T. Dupont celebrates the shared values of craftsmanship, precision and the French art of living, offering collectors a unique fusion of horology and cigar culture.
