Inspired by the history of aviation and its technological advances, Bell & Ross collections pay homage to the key periods in civil and military aviation from 1900 to the present day. The military world has always been a pioneer in numerous fields. Its innovations have had various applications in civilian life, such as the Internet, GPS or even the first business jets. Creating avant-garde technological ties between its civil and military activities, Dassault Aviation has acquired unquestionable expertise of the highest standard. Bell & Ross and Dassault Aviation share the same passion for aviation, which guides them in their respective creations. In 2013, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Falcon business jet, Bell & Ross paid homage to the civil aviation of the 1960s by presenting the Vintage Falcon model. This year, the two companies are joining forces once again to celebrate the most successful multi-role fighter aircraft on the market: the Rafale.

The new Bell & Ross BR 03-94 Rafale Limited Edition of 500 pieces is fitted with the traditional square case measuring 42 mm in width and made of matte black ceramic and with a gorgeous grey matte dial with orange accents on the chrono hands and black Arabic numerals.

Equipped with a rubber strap with pin buckle in PVD blackened steel, the watch also comes with a nylon canvas additional strap. The beating heart inside this watch is the automatic movement BR-301.

On the wrist, the watch wears comfortably and true to its size. One great thing about this new Bell & Ross BR 03-94 Rafale Limited Edition is the color combination that provides simply a stunning wrist presence. Perhaps one of our favorite Bell & Ross watches this year at Baselworld and one that for sure will make it to our short list of watches we would buy.
