Bell & Ross - Partner of the air meeting
The air meeting will bring together a number of French and foreign aircraft in commemoration of the 100-year anniversary of the first world war. The "Patrouille de France" and the "Cartouche Dore" will be present, as will a legendary patrol of "Flamants" in the colours of Bell & Ross, and modern aircraft such as the Rafale, Mirage 2000D, Caracal, F16 and Mig 29.
The proceeds will be donated to the Fondation des Œuvres Sociales de l'Air (FOSA), a charity that helps personnel from the airforce, the general civil aviation authority, the French meteorologicl office and their families.
On this occasion, Bell & Ross will present its new piece, the Vintage WW1 Guynemer, which pays tribute to the famous captain Georges Guynemer, ace aviator from the Great War.
Bell & Ross is running a "Georges Guynemer" competition on Facebook to win two VIP passes to the event.
Bell & Ross - The new INSTRUMENT BR HERITAGE
2008 marked Bell & Ross' induction as an official supplier to the French Air Force. At their request, the brand created a symbolic, utilitarian watch, meeting the specific requirements of fighter pilots - the BR 03 Type Aviation. Bell & Ross and its iconic model, the INSTRUMENT, upturned traditional watch-making codes with its conceptual and innovative design.
Bell & Ross is again returning to the origins of the BR, to their core; watches designed with professionals in mind, this time with the INSTRUMENT BR HERITAGE. NEW INSTRUMENT BR HERITAGE: The origins Taking its inspiration directly from aircraft cockpit instrument panels, the INSTRUMENT collection responds to four fundamental principles: legibility, functionality, precision and reliability.
The developments of the INSTRUMENT collection parallel the in-depth technological developments within aeronautical instrumentation. The INSTRUMENT BR 01 is directly inspired by aircraft cockpit on-board instruments from the 1970s. The INSTRUMENT BR 03 Type Aviation, with its multi-function movement, benefits from technological advances in watch-making, just like the aircraft cockpits of the 2000s.
With the INSTRUMENT BR HERITAGE, Bell & Ross revives the authentic spirit of a collection watch, this time taking its inspiration from military aircraft instruments from the 1940s. The BR HERITAGE inspired by history whilst incorporating the most modern techniques, offers a unique combination of details from its vintage style hands and numerals to its sand-coloured index and its stamped natural leather strap, thus giving it the appeal and appearance of the 1940s in a contemporary military watch.
Straddled between yesterday and today, the INSTRUMENT BR HERITAGE draws its inspiration from history yet uses the most modern techniques to restore the effects of passing time. Bell & Ross: A Passion for military watches. A project to create utilitarian watches suitable for professional use. This is how the instrument-watch was born.
