BR-X3 Patrouille de France

BRX3R-PAF-ST/SRB BR X3

Description

The BR-X3 represents the most advanced level of sophistication in Bell & Ross's professional range. A direct heir to the iconic BR-03, from which it adopts the "circle within a square" design, it propels the instrument-watch into a new technical dimension thanks to its innovative multi-layer case construction and its manufacture movement, backed by a five-year warranty. A limited edition of 250 pieces, the BR-X3 Patrouille de France embodies a simple and radical equation: the best watch for the best pilots. To dress the BR-X3 in the squadron's colors, Bell & Ross chose noble and rigorously selected materials: polished-satin steel for the case, and blue anodized aluminum for the bezel ring and structural columns. This alchemy of materials resonates perfectly with the aeronautical world: lightness, resistance, and precision.
