Bell & Ross BR-05 Chrono Patrouille de France
Bell & Ross returns to the Patrouille de France with a new urban look, launching the BR-05 Chrono Patrouille de France, the fourth luxury replica watches created in partnership with the French Air Force and Space Force aerobatic team. This new chronograph celebrates elegance and excellence.
The Patrouille de France is a spectacle in the sky. This elite unit of the French Air Force and Space Force recently celebrated its 70th anniversary and is one of the most famous aerobatic teams in the world. Renowned for the excellence of its members, who are selected from top fighter pilots, they represent performance and precision and are ambassadors of French aviation expertise. The new BR-05 Chrono Patrouille de France pays tribute to this elite unit and celebrates this combination of skill and dedication.
Bell & Ross has deep roots in aviation and has designed watches inspired by cockpit instruments since its inception. This expertise laid the foundation for the brand’s collaboration with Patrouille de France in 2021. Carlos Rosillo, CEO and co-founder of Bell & Ross, said: “The Patrouille de France and Bell & Ross share core values such as rigor, discipline and teamwork. This partnership symbolizes the union of one of the most precise and artistic aerobatic teams in the world and Bell & Ross, a leading watchmaker in the field of aviation.” The new BR-05 Chrono Patrouille de France is the fourth timepiece created for this famous flying team, and it is an honor for Bell & Ross to equip the Patrouille de France. replica Jacob & Co.

A watch designed for pilots
As a professional watch manufacturer, Bell & Ross’ design process is centered on the needs of the user. When designing this new chronograph, the brand naturally consulted the pilots of the Patrouille de France air demonstration team and strengthened its relationship with pilots through frequent meetings. “We always consult the pilots during the creative process because our main goal is to meet their needs and provide them with a tool that is always ready to perform their missions,” explained Bruno Belamich, Creative Director and co-founder of Bell & Ross. Although not a practical instrument, the BR-05 Chrono Patrouille de France is considered a “prestigious” piece in the military. This watch honors the elegance and coordination of the pilots’ aerobatic performances. replica Patek Philippe Watches
BR-05 Chrono: an urban watch with a modern design
In keeping with the brand’s principles of legibility, functionality, reliability and precision, the BR-05 has been an urban watch since 2019. Its case design combines round and square shapes, referencing the functionalist design of aviation instruments that establish Bell & Ross’ unique identity.
Refined yet casual, this versatile 42 mm steel cased watch fits perfectly into everyday life. Its integrated strap design recalls the iconic style of the 1970s; when paired with Bell & Ross, it creates an effect that is both modern and striking. A chic blue leather strap is also available, inspired by the colors of the French Patrouilles. swiss replica watches
Iconic dial
From the pale blue flying suits to the tricolor smoke trails during aerial displays, the colors of the Patrouille de France are integral to its prestige. Bell & Ross has incorporated these colors into the BR-05 Chrono to celebrate the squadron’s elegance. The dial’s sunburst finish captures the pale blue of the pilots’ suits, while the dial and subdial centers feature a darker blue that echoes the aircraft’s fuselage. The silhouette of the Alphajet, the squadron’s iconic aircraft, serves as a counterweight to the chronograph’s seconds hand. Alternating satin, polished, matte, glossy and sunburst finishes accentuate the watch’s architectural volumes, while the metal numerals, indices and hands feature a luminescent finish for legibility day or night. Most striking is the squadron’s insignia: proudly displayed on the BR-05 Chrono Patrouille de France, the aircraft performing a “diamond” maneuver. The insignia also appears on the watch’s sapphire crystal caseback, revealing the movement. replica MB&F watches
The BR-05 Chrono Patrouille de France watch features a luminescent blue dial with a chronograph minute subdial at 3 o’clock and a small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock. This technologically advanced, contemporary case protects the automatic chronograph movement BR-CAL.326, which beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and has a power reserve of over 60 hours. The movement features a quick-set date display at 4:30 and its cam-driven chronograph mechanism is integrated into the movement itself. replica Richard Mille Rafael Nadal
