Bell & Ross Pilot Acrylic Type Aeronavale Chronograph watch

The Bell & Ross Pilot Acrylic Type Aeronavale Chronograph watch is a limited edition timepiece that recalls the adventurous spirit of 1950's-era aviation. Created at the behest of the French Naval Air Force, this appealing Bell & Ross timepiece will be strictly limited to a series of only 150 pieces. 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. This is confirmed by the technical details: 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, as well as a useful bidirectional rotating bezel. The distinctive matte black dial is both elegant and functional, featuring bold arrow shaped hands and Arabic numerals whose luminous indications enable a nearly instantaneous comprehension 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 sportive timepiece.

The Bell & Ross Pilot Acrylic Type Aeronavale Chronograph watch is animated by the excellent Swiss ETA 2894 caliber movement, a selfwinding mechanism which has proven itself to be superbly reliable, rugged, and precise. So equipped, this Bell & Ross timepiece 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 many of the essential virtues which make Bell & Ross an important watchmaker for demanding disciplines.
