Bell & Ross becomes official partner of the Rafale Solo Display
Last June, at the 55th edition of the Paris Air Show (SIAE) at Le Bourget, Bell & Ross officially unveiled its partnership with the Rafale Solo Display, the Rafale flight demonstration program by the French Air and Space Force. Bell & Ross thus strengthened the link between the brand and aeronautics professionals.
Driven by the shared values of innovation, precision and performance, Bell & Ross, already a partner of the Patrouille de France, is working closely with this ambassador of the French Air and Space Force whose mission is to demonstrate the excellence of the Rafale through its perfectly choreographed aerial displays.
Bell & Ross, instrument watches for aviation professionals since 1994
In the cockpit of the Rafale, a Bell & Ross watch is immediately in its natural element. It's not just a question of design, even if the aesthetic codes of Bell & Ross are in symbiosis with those of the flight instruments on the dashboard. It is above all a philosophy and a requirement. The pilot's precision in flight follows that of the instrument; they are one. Closely associated with the world of aeronautics since its origins, chosen by many professional civilian and military pilots, Bell & Ross has concretized its commitment in this field through numerous significant partnerships, notably with elite units and air forces. One of the most emblematic is naturally the one established since 2021 with the Patrouille de France.
The Rafale Solo Display, the virtuoso ambassador of French aerial talent
The Rafale is undoubtedly one of the best fighter jets in the world. Its technological advances and flight agility make it the military flagship of its manufacturer, Dassault Aviation, and an ambassador for the excellence of the French aeronautical industries. To demonstrate its exceptional flight qualities, the French Air and Space Force performs a breathtaking aerial demonstration. The "Rafale Solo Display" team brings together pilots and mechanics from the French Air and Space Force. It is one of the ambassadors of the French Air and Space Force and therefore represents the French Wings! With 9 minutes of spectacular, perfectly tuned displays, the Rafale Solo Display is capable of adapting to all types of weather conditions to captivate the public. Precision, agility, power... at air shows and air shows around the world. They also magnify its elegance because, as Marcel Dassault used to say to stimulate the artistic creativity of his engineers: "A beautiful plane is a plane that flies well." A philosophy fully shared by Bell & Ross.
BR-03 Chrono Rafale Solo Display, a precision asset for the Rafale Solo display pilot
A captivating aerial spectacle, each evolution of the Rafale Solo Display is a precisely tuned performance. At the controls of the Rafale, the pilot flies at speeds between 200 and 1100 km/h. He must be able to count on the immediate and perfect readability of his onboard instruments. Time is a decisive criterion for the perfect execution of maneuvers in complete safety. The new BR-03 Rafale Solo Display chronograph has been designed for high-performance use in extreme conditions. Its robust case is made of high-tech black ceramic, resistant to scratches. The precise chronograph is powered by an automatic movement, the BR-CAL.301 caliber, equipped with a 42-hour power reserve. The legible dial, featuring evocations of the graphic world of fighter jets – such as the yellow dotted line around the date window – highlights the precision-related indications, notably thanks to the two orange hands for the chronograph function. Its indexes and counters are readable in the dark thanks to their photoluminescent treatment. Finally, the Rafale Solo Display logo is affixed to the bottom of the dial, as a guarantee of quality for a chronograph used and approved by an elite fighter pilot. Precise, fast and efficient, this exclusive limited series of 500 pieces is a testament to the relationship of trust between Bell & Ross and pilots.
Designed for Rafale Solo Display pilots and offered to lovers of the world of aeronautical excellence, the BR-03 Chrono Rafale Solo Display watch celebrates the exceptional performances of this ambassador of the Air and Space Force and illustrates the continuity of Bell & Ross's commitment to the aviation sector.
