Renowned for its watches designed for extreme conditions, Bell & Ross finds in the world of rally-raid a natural field of expression. The rally-raid represents the ultimate testing ground for precision, robustness and legibility — the three pillars of the brand.
The partnership with Defender Rally reflects a commitment to supporting teams that push both mechanical and human limits. Drivers competing in the Defender D7X-R will be able to rely on Bell & Ross watchmaking expertise to take on the most demanding stages of the Saudi desert.

“The rally-raid is a symbol of boldness, exploration and pushing beyond one’s limits — values that lie at the very heart of Bell & Ross’ DNA. The BR-X3 Black Titanium, with its iconic ‘circle within a square’ design, perfectly embodies this philosophy: precision, legibility and robustness in the most extreme conditions. We are proud to partner with Defender Rally, a team that shares our passion for adventure and our commitment to performance, and to see our watches accompany the drivers throughout this iconic race.” 
Carlos Rosillo, Co-founder & CEO of Bell & Ross

As part of this partnership, Bell & Ross will equip the Defender Rally team with the BR-X3 Black Titanium — the ultimate embodiment of watchmaking excellence and precision engineering.

Born of Bell & Ross’ technical expertise, the BR-X3 Black Titanium represents the perfect fusion of innovation, robustness and precision. Its grade 5 titanium construction, COSC-certified manufacture movement and optimal legibility make it an instrument perfectly suited to the challenges of the rally-raid, where every second counts and conditions push both human and machine to their limits.

The partnership between Bell & Ross and Defender Rally is not based solely on precision and performance, but on a shared aesthetic and functional affinity. Bell & Ross’ professional line, with its round dial framed by a square case, sharp and angular lines, and resolutely instrumental appearance, shares a clear visual language with the Defender D7X-R: robustness, purity of form and maximum functionality.

"The functional design of our iconic square watch naturally echoes that of Defender D7X-R. Both express a bold, uncompromising character defined by strong lines and purposeful forms”.

Bruno Belamich, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Bell & Ross

Bell & Ross professional watches thus become true onboard instruments for adventure, mirroring the vehicle they accompany.
