Bell & Ross introduced its new model specially designed for the French aerobatic team Patrouille de France.
Bell & Ross, which is among the cult names of the watch world with its aviation-inspired models, is signing a new collaboration with the French aerobatic team Patrouille de France. Bell & Ross crowns its selection as Patrouille de France's official watchmaking partner by the Armée de l'Air et de l'Espace (French Air and Space Force) with a limited edition model.
The new model comes with a matte black ceramic case designed in BR 03-94 style. The case, which has a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating and a 60-second bezel that can rotate in two directions on the front, is waterproof up to 100 meters.
The model hosts a blue background. At the 6 o'clock position of the dial, the logo of the Patrouille de France team stands out. The 3/9 layout Bi-Compax chronograph dial has a date display at 4:30. While the Super-LumiNOVA filled baton indices and wide hands offer sufficient legibility in almost any environment, the red details emphasize both the special theme and sporty character of the watch.
The new model is powered by the Caliber BR-CAL.301 movement. The automatic movement, which includes hours, minutes, small seconds, and date features as well as a 30-minute chronograph function, offers a power reserve of 42 hours when fully wound.
The model, which is limited to only 500 pieces, is available with black rubber and black textile straps. The list price for the model is EUR 5,900.
