Motif: "Naval Aviation Officer's Uniform"
Founded in Paris, France, Bell & Ross consistently releases military-inspired models. Their legibility and functional beauty are highly regarded by those in the fashion industry and military circles.
The "Vintage BR Aeronavale" being released this time is inspired by the uniform of naval aviation officers. The watch expresses every detail, from the deep blue to the gold buttons, epaulets, and sleeve decorations, without omission.
The sunray-finished blue dial subtly shifts in hue with the light. The watch incorporates a lustrous finish on the aluminum bezel and on the straps, available in both alligator and calfskin. This calfskin strap with a polished finish is a special creation for this model, developed through repeated artisan work of shaving and polishing to achieve an unprecedented depth of character, as if aged over time, enhancing its beauty and presence.
The gold color of the numerals, indices, and hands has also been chosen to complement this model with a subdued tone, exuding an elegance befitting an officer.
