Introducing the Bell & Ross BR 03-94 Patrouille de France Limited Edition Replica With Low Price

The latest Bell & Ross BR 03-94 Patrouille de France Limited Edition watch replica is another in a series of aviation-themed timepieces created to emphasize the relationship with a specific aviation unit. Throughout Bell & Ross' history, they have made watches with ties to the French military, with special stamps on the dials and functions suited to the complex work of flying fighter planes. Their latest creation in these areas is the pilot's watch associated with the patrouille de France, the official aerobatic display team of the French Air Force and Space Force.

The Patrouille de France

The patrouille de France has been around since 1953, and serves primarily to represent the French Air and Space Force to an international audience at air shows. For the new watch, Bell & Ross worked with the patrouille de France to design a timepiece with functionality that is meant to meet their specific needs as aerobatic pilots, and serves as a poetic link to their unique role in the French military. Let’s take a closer look at this latest Bell & Ross BR 03-94 limited edition replica. 

The Case

The replica Bell & Ross BR 03-94 Patrouille de France is part of the replica Bell & Ross BR 03 family, as such measuring 42mm x 42mm, with the typical “circle within a square” case, defined by its combination of geometric shapes and screws at each corner. The right side of the case classically houses the crown and the pushers, and water-resistance is comfortable at 100 metres. As per the request of the pilots, the case is crafted from black ceramic, known for its lightness and resistance, and has been treated in matte to avoid reflection during flights.

An important point of differentiation in this watch is the presence of a bi-directional bezel, also made of black ceramic, equipped with a scale for 60 minutes or 60 seconds – depending if you use it in conjunction with the minutes or the seconds hand. The scale is made of white luminescent markings. The watch is, as often with Bell & Ross, worn on a black rubber strap closed by a PVD-coated steel pin buckle, and an ultra-resilient black fabric strap is also included in the presentation box.

The Dial

The main update and most noticeable element in this Bell & Ross BR 03-94 Patrouille de France replica is its dial, which relies on the aerobatics demonstration unit’s colour codes and emblem. The dial is matte dark blue, once to create great contrast with the white markings and to avoid reflections. The hands, typical of B&R’s production, are largely covered in SLN and so are the hour markers and the large 12 o’clock numeral. As requested by the team, the watch is equipped with a chronograph function, with all indications pointed by red-coloured hands. This function will help them when needing synchronisation and the tachymeter scale on the inner flange allows for the calculation of average speeds. And of course, there’s the logo of the Patrouille de France proudly printed at 6 o’clock, a gold emblem with nine jet silhouettes and the tricolour banner as a symbol for France.

The Movement

While the version of the BR 03-94 seen here is mechanical and available to the public, the watch made for use by the pilots of the patrouille de France is actually powered by a quartz caliber. This Bell & Ross replica is limited to 100 pieces and available only to the patrouille de France unit. The mechanical version (powered by the BR-CAL.301 automatic movement) is limited to 500 pieces. It measures in at 42mm in width and is rated to 100 meters of water resistance.
