Bell&Ross Presents The New BR05 Chrono A523 With Alpine F1 Team Colors
Bell&Ross announces the arrival of the new BR05 Chrono A523 which completes the Alpine watch series and which for the first time features a BR05 in the colours of its partner F1 team.
The new chronographs that equip the wrists of the two pilots of the Alpine team, Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon, are engraved with their names and number. They also stand out for displaying the French flag on the dial, some details in the blue of the team and the Alpine logo as a counterweight of the central Chronograph seconds hand.
On the outside, it wears a square stainless steel case measuring 42mm in diameter and 14.5mm thick, which comes with an integrated bracelet and a finish that alternates between polished and satin, steel bezel fixed with four screws, sapphire glass that covers the rounded dial, screw-down crown at 3 o’clock with crown guards and two angled pushers, open case back and 100m water resistance.
On the black dial, we can find two square chamfered counters at 3-6 o’clock which translate into a 30-minute totalizer and a running seconds respectively and both are delimited with a grey frame, applied indexes and Arabic numerals filled with Super-LumiNova the same one that also we can find on the hour and minute hands, a blue tachymeter chapter ring matching the two chronograph hands, a round date windows at 4:30 and lastly a white minute track with 1/5 seconds markers painted in an array of four upwards four down four upwards…
Inside is the Caliber BR-CAL 326 automatic movement that powers the chronograph, which comes with a bidirectional rotor that is visible through the sapphire case back.
The chronograph as mentioned above comes with a steel bracelet matching the case or a black leather strap with blue details.
