Bell & Ross continues to strengthen its ties with military aviation through the launch of the BR-03 Chrono Rafale Solo Display. Created in collaboration with the Rafale Solo Display team, the limited-edition chronograph was officially presented at Watches and Wonders and engineered with fighter pilots in mind.
Inside the cockpit, a Bell & Ross watch is more than a timekeeper, it becomes part of the flight instrumentation, echoing the precision and reliability demanded by pilots. The BR-03 Chrono Rafale Solo Display, with its fusion of performance-driven functionality and symbolic design, captures that philosophy in a timepiece built for both the skies and the wrist.
Crafted in robust black ceramic, the watch embodies the brand’s dedication to precision, performance, and professional-grade design. High-contrast white photoluminescent indices and counters guarantee legibility in the cockpit, while the bright orange chronograph seconds hand ensures quick and accurate readings during flight manoeuvres.
A distinctive yellow-hatched frame around the date window recalls the fuselage markings of the Rafale aircraft, lending a direct aesthetic link to Dassault Aviation’s fighter jet. Limited to just 500 pieces, the BR-03 Chrono strikes a balance between rugged functionality and refined aviation heritage.
The unveiling also coincides with Bell & Ross becoming the official partner of the Rafale Solo Display, the French Air and Space Force’s demonstration programme that highlights the capabilities of the Rafale through precision aerobatic displays. The partnership was formalised in June 2025 at the 55th Paris Air Show, further reinforcing the brand’s commitment to aviation professionals.
Already a trusted partner of the Patrouille de France since 2021, Bell & Ross now extends its collaboration with another elite unit, underscoring its authenticity in the aeronautical sphere.
