Renault F1® Team and Bell & Ross, a French brand sharing the same values of performance and technical expertise, announce their partnership and the new "R.S.20" collection. The "BR-X1 R.S.20", featuring an innovative material and a high-performance skeleton chronograph, has been released, embodying Bell & Ross's signature square case.

Bell & Ross established its partnership with the Renault F1® Team in 2016. In 2020, driven by the shared pursuit of excellence, the "R.S.20" collection, themed around the "future of F1®", was unveiled.

To create the new "R.S.20" collection, the design studio embarked on research into "matières" (materials) to bring their inspiration to life. The design draws inspiration from the Renault 2020 F1® racing car and the R.S. 2027 supercar. The result is a collection that is both modern and highly futuristic, avant-garde yet classic.

This collection embodies a more design-oriented and graphical spirit, while upholding the brand's core themes of style, legibility, and functionality. Embracing futuristic approaches, each model expresses a world of innovation, functionality, and stripped-down aesthetics.

One of the new additions to this collection, the "BR-X1 R.S.20", features the brand's iconic "circle within a square" case design. It is equipped with a skillfully crafted skeleton chronograph, resulting in an experimental version. The case is constructed from multiple materials – PVD-coated titanium, ceramic, and rubber – materials that are common not only in sports watches but also in aviation and F1®.

The lever-style push buttons, made from two different materials, are designed to evoke paddle shifters. A PVD-coated steel ring rotates around the bezel, and the skeletonized dial offers a view of the highly refined internal mechanism and gear train.

This watch, featuring an exceptional chronograph and skeleton structure, is limited to a worldwide release of 250 pieces.
