Bell & Ross's New Automotive-Inspired Timepiece Pays Homage to the Avant Garde AeroGT Concept

Long known for its gorgeous timepieces, Bell & Ross went in a completely different direction back in March of 2016, unveiling is very own aircraft-inspired automotive concept, the AeroGT. Now, over a year later, the French watchmaker is dropping a watch inspired by the vehicle. Dubbed the BR03-94 AeroGT Orange, the limited edition design is inspired by an orange edition of the would-be concept and features the likes of an automatic mechanical calibre BR-CAL.319 movement, a 42mm satin-polished steel case, and a skeletonized dial — offering hours, minutes and small seconds functions along with a date window, a 12-hour timer at 6 o’clock, a 30-minute timer at 9 o’clock, central chronograph seconds, and a tachymeter scale. As for the strap, it comes in perforated jet black calfskin and sports bright orange piping along with a synthetic backing.

B&R fans can order the eye-catching timepiece — which is limited to just 500 units — online now for $8,800 USD.
