Long known as a pilot's watch brand, Bell & Ross was selected by the French Air and Space Force as the o fficial watchmaking partner of the French Acrobatic Patrol, Patrouille de France. To celebrate its relationship with the famed aerobatic aviation team, Bell & Ross worked with the pilots to create a limited edition (500 pieces) BR03-94 Patrouille De France watch. Highly functional and extremely legible, the 42mm watch is powered by an automatic mechanical movement and o ffers hours, minutes, small seconds and date, along with chronograph functions and tachymeter scale. The case is crafted in stealth matte black ceramic, and the blue dial boasts the Patrouille de France logo. Super-LumiNova hour and minute hands help with reading in the dark.

Conceived in France's fashionable capital, this Parisian watchmaker upholds the artful reputation of its hometown. Bell & Ross' timepieces not only tell time in a literal sense but allude to a grander tale through the timelessness of its collections. From its Vintage line that cements classical elegance in a single timepiece, to its futuristic Concept collection that mocks mortality with a laughing skull at the watch's center, every past, present and potential state of man is both represented and accommodated for.This is emphasized by the categorization of its watches as 'universes'. Deriving from a recognition that time reflects both who we are and who we will be, the brand allows for comfortable timekeeping while we live out life through the universe of our own perspective. Universe categories include the pilot, driver, racer and urban explorer, with each timepiece built by Bell & Ross to allow the fulfillment of one's destiny while not faulting on durability.
