Talking about teamwork, watchmakers Bell & Ross and Renault F1 team are racing into the 2020 season with a much stronger bonding, which will be kept on the R.S. 20 chronograph collection.
The bond is five years strong
The fifth collection of R.S. watches exemplifying Bell & Ross and Renault F1 relationship was recently unveiled in Paris by the talented French F1 driver, Esteban Ocon.
Released under Formula 1 of the future theme, the collection’s highlight – BR-X1 Tourbillon R.S. 20, features a 45mm titanium and ceramic case honed by a bi-directional PVD bezel ring on a skeleton dial. It boasts hand wound flying tourbillon movement with a 100-hour power reserve. The timepiece is immensely exclusive and only 20 of these are made.
The collection includes Bell & Ross’s popular BR VR-94 – featuring 43mm stain polished steel case and BR 03-94 underscored by black ceramic case. Non-tourbillion BR-X1 watches will be available in 250 pieces.
