Bell & Ross presents BR 05 CHRONO A523, a brand new BR 05 chronograph in the colours of F1 and the brand’s partner team Alpine.
Decorated with the French flag, complete with the team blue and displaying the Alpine logo as a counterweight to the chronograph hand, the finely graduated black dial with two counters focuses on readability and functionality under all circumstances.
Both sporty and chic, the watch retains its elegant proportions, with a 42mm diameter case that continues to square the circle. It boasts alternate polished and satin-finished surfaces.
The watch can be worn with the steel bracelet with flexible, comfortable links, or the black leather strap. The BR 05 Chrono A523 is water resistant to 100 metres.
With more than 950 horsepower for a weight of 796kg and capable of reaching 355km per hour, the single-seater Alpine 523 is at the service of the BWT Alpine F1 Team’s ambitions.
Bell & Ross has equipped the BR 05 Chronograph A523 with the self-winding mechanical BR-CAL.326 calibre, which drives chronograph, hours, minutes, small seconds at 9 o’clock and date functions.
The Bell & Ross BR 05 Chrono A523 is available in a limited edition of 500 pieces.
