After firmly sorting out their driver issues, the BWT Alpine F1 Team can now finally focus on the task at hand on the racing circuits. And what better time to do so with a brand new timepiece. A long-standing partner on the circuits, Bell & Ross have unveiled a new collaborative timepiece with the BWT Alpine F1 Team.

Showcasing their shared values for the ultimate mechanical performance the new BR 03-92 A522 achieves maximum lightness while maintaining a very high resistance. Fittingly, the timepiece is called the A522, in reference to the current Alpine A522 racing car.

Featuring a 42mm ceramic case, the BR 03-92 A522 combines resistance, lightness and legibility. The watch also subtly adopts the colour and graphics of the Enstone team. The dial of this sporty timepiece designed as a car counter captures Alpine’s visual identity, including the brand’s colour code based on white/blue, and uses the Bell & Ross DNA black/white contrast.

The counterweight of the central blue chrono seconds hand takes up the stylised A of Alpine. A mini blue/white/red flag recalling Alpine’s tricolour origins is placed above the date window at 6 o’clock and the Alpine’s signature blue is used to highlight the minute track on the flange.

On the mechanical side, the BR 03-92 A522 is powered by the automatic BR-CAL.302 movement, 3 date hands. Finally, an ultra-breathable micro-perforated rubber strap ensures unrivalled comfort when worn. It is one of the emblems of this Formula 1 collection.

Limited to 999 pieces, the BR 03-92 A522 is the latest in the series of Alpine timepieces, from Bell & Ross. Need to get one? Check it out here.
