Bell & Ross BR-05 Chrono Patrouille de France Limited Edition pays tribute to aerial acrobatics

Posted on by

Britain has the Red Arrows, France has the Patrouille de France. The Red Arrows have Breitling, the Patrouille de France has fake Bell & Ross. The French Air Force and Aerospace Forces aerobatic team’s partnership with Bell & Ross is particularly significant, as Bell & Ross is dedicated to aviation instrument watches. The new Bell & Ross BR-05 Chrono Patrouille de France Limited Edition is their fourth such collaboration.

The watch’s case is a very traditional BR-05 design. With a diameter of 42mm, it has a rounded square design with thick shoulders, a clearly layered bezel and a one-piece bracelet. Visible screws give it an industrial feel, like instruments in an airplane cockpit. As a Chrono model, it has wide, flat pushers on both sides of the crown and on the outer edge of the static crown guard. luxury fake Watches

The Patrouille de France’s signature colors can be seen on the dial, which is not surprising given the tricolor dial. The central chronograph hand is red, the chronograph subdial indices are white, and the subdial centers are navy blue. The main dial is also blue, but the hue is lighter than that of the French flag, instead matching the popular ice blue of models such as the BR-X5 and Skeleton Arctic.

Between the multiple shades of blue and the various accent colors, the Bell & Ross BR-05 Chrono Patrouille de France is arguably one of the most colorful timepieces in the entire collection. This fact is made even more apparent by the dynamic logo of the acrobatic team at 6 o’clock. Nevertheless, it maintains a high level of readability through the luminous hour markers and oversized Arabic numerals. Although the latter numerals are often interrupted by the subdials and other display elements.

Inside is the BR-CAL.326, visible through the exhibition caseback printed with the Patrouille de France logo. It is automatic and has a 60-hour power reserve, with reliable specifications. Like many Bell & Ross movements, it’s based on a Sellita, which is good because Bell & Ross was an early adopter of Sellita’s upgraded movements with better power reserve. Plus, they gave it a cool star-shaped rotor. best cheap watches
