2017 Bell & Ross announced the new Bell & Ross BR RS17 watches, incorporating several design and material elements found in the recently announced Renault Formula 1 racer. It would be easy for a lot of brands to try and take an aviation watch and totally screw everything up by deciding they want an F1 racing-inspired line (of an iconic design, nonetheless).
Bell & Ross introduced three new watches to the line: the Bell & Ross BR 03-94 RS17 is based on the BR-03 and the simplest of the watches; the Bell & Ross BR-X1 RS17 is based off the BR-X1 done in "Carbon Forgé"; and then, there's the BR-X1 RS17 tourbillon. Let's take a look at the first two, non-tourbillon watches today - and get ready for a strong hit of yellow, green, and red.
At 42mm wide, the Bell & Ross BR 03-94 RS17 is done in a ceramic case that appears stealthy and should prove to be quite wearable for most in comparison to some of the larger BR 01 models. Like the Renault R.S. 17 with its molded carbon fiber honeycomb composite chassis, it features a dial made entirely out of carbon fiber - a material choice Bell & Ross claims was also inspired by the racer's steering wheel.
The chronograph layout is colorful but standard and highly legible with a small seconds sub-dial placed at 3 o'clock and a 30-minute counter 9 o'clock. Both sub-dials, along with the date window highlight subtle touches of color against the carbon fiber dial that also carry into the central chronograph seconds hand. The hour and minute hands are faceted and are filled with Super-LumiNova, as are the large Arabic numerals on the dial.
The movement in the Bell & Ross BR 03-94 RS17 is the calibre BR-CAL.301. It's a reliable, ETA-based automatic chronograph movement that Bell & Ross has utilized in previous releases like the BR-03 Desert Type chronograph announced last year. Like the dial, the pushers for the chronograph operation and the crown have also been finished in a similar color scheme that references more of the visual elements you'd find on the F1 racer. There's no exhibition caseback, but the ceramic gives it a sleek look. You'll see a photo of the rubber strap above but this watch is also going to come with a black synthetic fabric strap.
45mm wide, and is done in the Carbon Forgé case based off the BR-X1 that was introduced in 2015. One piece of carbon fiber, the irregular pattern on the case of forged carbon watches lends a rugged aesthetic to the dynamic and loud colors on the dials of these watches. Again, it's a pretty... intense-looking watch in that the build and structure of the imposing BR-X1 combined with the vivid colors will make sure that the person wearing it gets a lot of attention.Replica Bell & Ross watches uk
