Bell and Ross Watch: The Pilot Acrylic Type Aeronavale Chronograph (Limited Edition)

The Bell & Ross Pilot Acrylic Type Aeronavale Chronograph watch is a limited edition watch that recalls the adventurous spirit of 1950's-era aviation. Produced at the request of the French Naval Air Force, this appealing Bell & Ross watch is a limited edition watch of only 150 watches. Crafted from high quality 316L stainless steel, the case of the Bell Ross Pilot Acrylic Type Aeronavale Chronograph watch displays an elegant finish yet radiates strength and rugged durability. The technical prowess of this watch equals its luxurious presentation: the screw-locked caseback and screw-down crown unite to enable the Type Aeronavale watch to achieve a water resistance rating of 100 meters.

Bell & Ross has fitted this vintage-inspired chronograph with a domed acrylic crystal, corresponding to the type found on classic pilots watches, and a useful bidirectional rotating bezel. The distinctive matte black dial provides a strong background for the luminous bold arrow shaped hands and Arabic numerals enabling a quick reading of the time in any light condition. At the six o'clock position, the distinctive three-color winged anchor logo of the French Naval Air Force proudly indicates the commemorative nature of this sport watch.

The Bell & Ross Pilot Acrylic Type Aeronavale Chronograph watch houses the excellent Swiss ETA 2894 caliber movement, a selfwinding mechanism which has proven itself to be superbly reliable, rugged, and precise. With this movement, this Bell Ross watch can measure elapsed time within a 30-minute interval with precision to within 1/8th of a second. In addition, the Pilot Acrylic Type Aeronavale Chronograph watch features a rapidly adjustable date display, and indicates continuous subsidiary seconds. Available on either a brushed and polished stainless steel bracelet or a sporty calfskin strap, this limited edition watch showcases the essential virtues which make Bell & Ross an important watchmaker for demanding disciplines.
