The skull design was created by stamping the metal to produce a three-dimensional relief.

It has also been covered with black SuperLuminova to sharpen the shadows and give the skull an eerie look.

Like the previous BR01 Burning Skull timepiece, which was launched last year, the case features not only a 3D rendering of the skull’s outline and the crossbones, but also is decorated with engravings that mimic the look and style of tattoos.

Because bronze was chosen for the case material, expect each watch to produce its own unique patina – a pattern that forms as a result of oxidisation, which provides a personal touch for each wearer.

The 46mm timepiece is driven by the calibre BR-CAL.302, a mechanical automatic movement.
