Bell & Ross BR 05 Chrono A523 Alpine Edition automatic black dial steel bracelet 42 mm

First season in F1 with Alpine for the BR 05 Chrono

The BR 05 Chrono makes its competition debut this season, in the colors of Alpine. "For the first time, Bell & Ross is dressing a BR05 in the colors of F1 and our partner team Alpine to complement the existing models. The choice of chronograph movement meets the needs of Team Alpine, obviously measuring speed and therefore sporting performance. Bell & Ross retains the Alpine brand identity in each of its creations through the color code and logo," says Bruno Belamich, creative director and co-founder of Bell & Ross.

Sport & Chic

The chronograph version of Bell & Ross's new contemporary urban collection takes advantage of its Alpine livery to reaffirm its dual vocation: sporty and chic at the same time. Elegant proportions remain the order of the day, with a case measuring 42 mm in diameter, still combining the round with the square. It features refined finishes alternating polished and satin-finished surfaces for subtle light diffusion. The watch can be adorned with a steel bracelet, with supple, comfortable links, or a black leather strap. The BR 05 Chrono A523 is water-resistant to 100 meters. Aimed at discerning enthusiasts, this timepiece is offered in a limited edition of 500 pieces.

Parallel trajectories

Decorated with the tricolor flag, adorned with the blue of the racing team and displaying the Alpine emblem as a counterweight to the chronograph hand, the finely graduated black two-counter dial focuses on legibility and functionality in all circumstances: for a dinner in town, a business meeting as well as in the paddocks on Grand Prix days.

A rise in power served up by the talent of Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon. Both drivers are now wearing a BR 05 Chrono, engraved with their name and number.

The BR 05 Chrono is the latest addition to the range.

Engine side

Echoing this quest for efficiency, Bell & Ross has equipped its BR 05 Chrono A523 with an enduring movement, the mechanical self-winding BR-CAL.326 caliber with hour, minute, small seconds at 9 o'clock and date functions. The choice of this caliber is quite logical, it's a real tractor, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offering 56 hours of power reserve.
