Bell & Ross Vintage BR V2-94 just for the French Grand Prix

To mark the return of Formula 1 to France, the Bell & Ross BR V2-94 R.S.18 will feature a black rubber strap stamped with the French flag during the French Grand Prix.

The watch is an invitation to get behind the wheel of a racing car and experience the extreme sensation felt by the driver, for whom a watch is not only a tool, but also an ally at each and every moment of the race. This Vintage BR V2-94 R.S.18 features a 41 mm case in satin-finished steel, a carbon fiber dial (a highly-prized material in the world of highend motoring) and black and yellow in reference to the colors of the Renault Sport Formula One™ Team.

The Bell & Ross BR V2-94 R.S.18 has a yellow internal minute track and two counters, one in red for optimal legibility of the chronograph function. A tachymeter scale on the bezel allows a car’s speed to be instantly calculated over a given distance.

This design and choice of colours evokes the sporting world of race tracks and paddocks, with its numerals adopting the typography used for the Renault Sport Formula One™ Team. It is powered by a Swiss mechanical caliber with automatic winding. The sapphire case-back bears a metallized depiction of the Renault car and its serial number.
