The Bell & Ross Vintage BR 126 Aeronavale can be seen as solid proof that with the right dose of creativity you can always find a new angle. With aeronautical instrumentation being one of the main sources of inspiration one would say that everything has been done since the house Bell & Ross was founded in 1993.

But, by drawing inspiration from the officer’s uniform of French navy pilots the Vintage BR Aeronavale succeeds in adding another flavor to the Bell & Ross collection. You can recognize the Vintage BR Aeronavale by the distinct combination of blue and gold as it appears on naval uniforms. This chronograph model, together with the more straightforward Bell & Ross Vintage BR 123 Aeronavale model have been added to the Vintage BR Aeronavale collection. It has a polished steel case of 43 millimeters.

The Bell & Ross Vintage BR 126 Aeronavale is the chronograph version of the new Aeronavale models

Bell & Ross translated the prestige of a formal naval uniform in the clear navy blue sunray dial, which makes the gilt skeletonized hour and minute hands stand out. It has two additional counters with snailed guilloché decoration and a 60-minute graduated bezel in blue anodized aluminium. The transparent case-back shows the Swiss mechanical movements.

Completing their so called get-together of elegance and functionality Bell & Ross brings the Vintage BR 126 Aeronavale with a blue calfskin strap and cinnamon stitching or with an alligator strap in dark blue with a pin buckle clasp.
