Bell & Ross Vintage 126 Blackbird
A NEW WATCH TAKING THE BELL & ROSS STYLE BACK TO THE FUTURE
Ever since it was founded, Bell & Ross has made aviation, and more specifically aeronautical instrumentation, one of its main sources of
inspiration, both in terms of design and technology. This new watch represents the convergence of all the values of Bell & Ross. Vintage in
style, the new BR 126 BLACKBIRD stands out as decidedly modern with its advanced technology and high quality finish. Offering a Flyback
function characteristic of the very best aviation chronographs, it pays tribute to the Lockheed SR-71 “Blackbird”, the legendary American plane.

BOTH VINTAGE
AND ULTRA-CONTEMPORARY
In unveiling this watch, Bell & Ross infuses its Vintage collection with an element of modernity. Its round case, the soft lines of its strap fastenings and the curve of its glass instantly identify the BR 126 BLACKBIRD as belonging to the Bell & Ross Vintage collection. However, its materials and its Flyback automatic chronograph movement incorporate the latest technological advances to offer ultra-modern functions promoting legibility and precision. The quality of the steel case (category 316 L, indicating a very high level of solidity and resistance to oxidation), its matte black PVD finish, its 43mm diameter, its sapphire crystal and its water-resistance to 100m make it a modern watch in step with its time.

FLYBACK : THE CHRONOGRAPH FUNCTION
DEDICATED TO AVIATION
The Flyback complication was developed for aircraft pilots before
the Second World War. It allowed them to instantly stop and restart
their chronograph on receipt of radio or visual signals indicating
the moment to change course or release bombs. Unlike standard
chronographs, requiring successive pressing of buttons to stop, reset
and restart the stopwatch function, the Flyback system allows the
stopwatch to be stopped and restarted in a single movement. This
makes the Flyback complication the best instrument for calculating
short time periods.Technical Specs:
