The BR05 soars with the official aerobatic team of the French Air Force

After forging an official partnership with the Patrouille de France in 2021, Bell & Ross is continuing this aerial adventure with the BR-05 Chrono Patrouille de France, the fourth watch to emerge from this collaboration with the French Air Force aerobatic team, once again designed in collaboration with these these top fighter pilots. 

Once again, Bell & Ross have adopted the colors of the Patrouille de France for this new collaborative BR-05 Chrono. The sunray dial features the sky blue of the pilot's flight suit, while the flange and centre of the counters are rendered in a darker blue reminiscent of the Alphajet flown by the team's pilots. The silhouette of the Alphajet, an icon of this formation, sits at the end of the chronograph seconds hand.

Equipped with the BR-CAL.326 calibre, the BR-05 Chrono Patrouille de France is an integrated cam-operated chronograph with a power reserve of more than 60 hours, and a date window at 4:30. This BR05 reference is fitted to a stainless steel H-link style bracelet with a butterfly clasp.
