Bell & Ross BR-05 Chrono Patrouille de France BR05C-PAF-ST/SST
Details
The Bell & Ross BR 05 Chrono Patrouille de France pays tribute to one of the most prestigious aerobatic teams in the world, fusing precision watchmaking with aerial excellence. Housed in a bold 42mm stainless steel case, the watch showcases the signature rounded-square design of the BR 05 collection, enhanced by a satin-polished finish that reflects both strength and elegance. The integrated stainless steel bracelet continues the watch’s sculpted lines, offering a seamless and commanding presence on the wrist. At the heart of the piece is a striking aviation blue sunray dial, inspired by the open skies that the Patrouille de France calls home. The team’s official insignia at 6 o’clock honors their elite status, while chronograph subdials at 3 and 9 o’clock offer essential functionality for timing precision maneuvers. Subtle red, white, and blue accents nod to the French tricolor, and Super-LumiNova® hands and indices ensure clarity even in low-light conditions. A tachymeter scale around the outer edge of the dial adds a technical edge for those who appreciate the mechanics of speed. Beneath the case, the BR-CAL.326 automatic movement delivers reliable chronograph performance with a 42-hour power reserve, visible through the sapphire case back adorned with the Patrouille de France insignia. With its blend of athletic elegance and airborne inspiration, this timepiece commands attention — not just for its technical capabilities, but for the way it captures the spirit of precision flying and the prestige of an elite aviation legacy.
