Bell & Ross adopts the new colors of its racing partner BWT Alpine F1 Team on the BR 03-92 A522, the watchmaker’s latest Formula 1 watch.
As a partner the Renault F1 Team (now BWT Alpine) since 2016, Bell & Ross has launched watches that represent the colors and materials found on partner race cars. Bell & Ross says it was inspired this year by the steering wheel, chassis and graphics on the new Alpine A522 racing car.
“Beyond the style and the colors, we conceive above all a tool at the service of the driver, an ally at all times,” explains Bruno Belamich, Bell & Ross creative director and co-founder.
The new BR 03-92 A522, a limited edition pf 999 pieces, features a 42mm matte-black ceramic-case with a black dial accented with white and blue, taking design cues from the speedometer of an Alpine racecar.
Also referencing the car is the counterweight of the central blue chrono seconds, which references the A of Alpine. The small blue, white and red flag echoes Alpine’s colors, while Alpine’s signature blue is used on the flange.
Inside Bell & Ross fits its Sellita-based automatic BR-CAL.302 movement. Price: $4,500.
