The new Bell & Ross BR 03 Type A Patrouille de France is a perfect example of the collaboration between watchmakers and aviators. And not just any watchmakers. In developing the BR 03, Bell and Ross was inspired by the needs of France's elite aerobatic squadron, the A Patrouille de France, with which it has an official watchmaking partnership from 2021, and the result is well worth it.
The story of the Bell & Ross brand is firmly linked to the aviation industry. Since its founding in 1994, the brand has embraced a philosophy that puts maximum functionality, legibility and reliability at its heart. They have always been inspired by the most demanding professional environments - military aviation, fighter pilots and marginal situations where every hundredth of a second can mean the difference between success and failure.
The new BR 03 Type A Patrouille de France is the culmination of this long-standing passion. It was created in collaboration with an elite French aerobatic squadron, one of the absolute world leaders in airshows. Seven pilots, who master the most difficult aerial figures with the precision of artists, became direct consultants in the development of this extraordinary aviation watch.
At the heart of the new watch model is the BR-CAL 103 high-end quartz movement, designed to withstand the toughest conditions.
Patrouille de France pilots fly at heights of several hundred metres, at incredible speeds of over 800 kilometres per hour, in tight formations where every hundredth of a second can mean a critical moment. That's why this men's luxury watch has been designed with the utmost precision.
What makes it unique is the way the time is displayed. The dual analogue and digital display offers maximum legibility in all conditions. The traditional hands show hours and minutes, while the digital display provides an accurate display of seconds. Every detail has been thought out to provide instant and absolutely accurate information.
The functions of this watch would satisfy even the most demanding users. A chronograph with 1/100th of a second accuracy, an intermediate time, additional time, countdown, alarm, date and dual time zone - all available on a single wrist. Operation is intuitive - just press the crown and the desired function is instantly displayed. It's like having a small computer right on your wrist, designed with precision worthy of professional pilots.
A square case, a clearly legible dial and precision craftsmanship - these are the hallmarks that Bell & Ross has brought straight from the cockpit of a fighter jet to your wrist. Every detail is designed with the utmost care, every line tells a story of human courage and the desire for perfection.
In a sign of exclusivity, only 100 examples of this watch were produced and naturally all the pilots of A Patrouille de France were also presented with it.
For watch lovers and collectors, this is a totally unique opportunity to own a piece of living aviation history.
The uniqueness of the Bell & Ross BR 03 lies in its complexity. It is a combination of state-of-the-art technology with extraordinary design. Limited edition, quartz movement developed in collaboration with professional pilots, design inspired by aviation instruments - this watch is simply a must-have in your collection.
