Ever since it was founded, Bell & Ross has made aviation, and more specifically aeronautical instrumentation, one of its main sources of inspiration, both in terms of design and technology. This new watch represents the convergence of all the values of Bell & Ross. Vintage in style, the new BR 126 BLACKBIRD stands out as decidedly modern with its advanced technology and high quality finish. Offering a Flyback function characteristic of the very best aviation chronographs, it pays tribute to the Lockheed SR-71 “Blackbird”, the legendary American plane.
In unveiling this watch, Bell & Ross infuses its Vintage collection with an element of modernity. Its round case, the soft lines of its strap fastenings and the curve of its glass instantly identify the BR 126 BLACKBIRD as belonging to the Bell & Ross Vintage collection. However, its materials and its Flyback automatic chronograph movement incorporate the latest technological advances to offer ultra-modern functions promoting legibility and precision. The quality of the steel case (category 316 L, indicating a very high level of solidity and resistance to oxidation), its matte black PVD finish, its 43mm diameter, its sapphire crystal and its water-resistance to 100m make it a modern watch in step with its time.
