Based on the BR-05 which Bell & Ross also refers to as part of its Urban collection, the BR-05 CHRONO PATROUILLE DE FRANCE offers a wonderful contrast from the ice blue of the main dial to the deep blue chrono registers (at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock), white numbers and hour markers offset by the deep blue minute/second trail around the main dial.

This is the fourth Bell & Ross / Patrouille de France collaboration. It is limited to 500 pieces and is currently available for pre-order with a projected delivery date in February.
