Bell & Ross worked with pilots from the French Air Force’s official aerobatic display team to create the new BR 03-94 Patrouille de France. The resulting chronograph is both a showpiece and a tool watch adapted to the patrol’s operational needs. Incorporating the colors of the Patrouille de France, the dark blue dial provides a visual contrast to the white numerals, indexes and hands. The units gold insignia – depicting a nine jet “Concorde” aerial display formation and wrapped in a tricolor banner – is positioned on the dial at 6 o’clock so it does not interfere with readability. To enhance its legibility, the hands used for the chronograph functions are distinguished by red tips. Limited to 500 pieces, the BR 03-94 Patrouille de France comes with a black natural rubber strap and a black Velcro strap.
