Bell & Ross becomes the official partner of the Rafale Solo Display
Last June, during the 55th edition of the Paris Air Show (Salon International de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace – SIAE) at Le Bourget, Bell & Ross officially unveiled its partnership with the Rafale Solo Display, the Rafale’s official flight demonstration program operated by the French Air and Space Force. This collaboration further reinforces the connection between the brand and aviation professionals. Driven by shared values of innovation, precision, and performance, Bell & Ross—already a partner of the Patrouille de France—now joins forces with this ambassador of the French Air and Space Force, whose mission is to demonstrate the excellence of the Rafale through perfectly choreographed aerial performances.

Bell & Ross: instrument watches for aviation professionals since 1994
Inside the Rafale cockpit, a Bell & Ross watch feels right at home. It’s not just about design, even if the brand’s aesthetic codes are in perfect harmony with the dashboard flight instruments. It’s above all a philosophy and a demand for excellence. The pilot’s precision in flight mirrors that of the instrument—they become one. Closely connected to the aeronautical world since its beginnings and chosen by many civilian and military professional pilots, Bell & Ross has solidified its commitment to this field through numerous significant partnerships, especially with elite units and air forces. One of the most emblematic is, of course, the partnership established in 2021 with the Patrouille de France.

Rafale Solo Display: a virtuoso ambassador of French aerial talent
The Rafale is undoubtedly one of the best fighter aircraft in the world. Its technological superiority and agility in flight make it the flagship of its manufacturer, Dassault Aviation, and a symbol of excellence for the French aerospace industry. To showcase its exceptional flight capabilities, the French Air and Space Force stages breathtaking aerial demonstrations. The Rafale Solo Display team includes pilots and mechanics from the Air and Space Force. It is part of the official ambassadors of the French Air and Space Force and proudly represents the Ailes Françaises (French Wings)! With 9 minutes of spectacular maneuvers performed with absolute precision, the Rafale Solo Display can adapt to all types of weather conditions to captivate the public. Precision, agility, power… these displays astonish audiences at international airshows and aviation events. They also highlight the Rafale’s elegance—true to the philosophy of Marcel Dassault, who used to tell his engineers to inspire artistic creativity: “A beautiful aircraft is one that flies well.” A philosophy fully embraced by Bell & Ross.

BR-03 Chrono Rafale Solo Display: a precision tool for the Rafale Solo Display pilot
Every Rafale Solo Display flight is a captivating show and a performance of exceptional precision. At the controls of the Rafale, the pilot operates at speeds ranging from 200 to 1100 km/h. He must be able to rely on the immediate and perfect readability of his cockpit instruments. Time is a decisive factor for the safe and flawless execution of every maneuver. The new BR-03 Rafale Solo Display chronograph has been designed for high performance in extreme conditions. Robust, its case is made of high-tech black ceramic that is resistant to scratches. Precise, the chronograph is powered by an automatic movement, the BR-CAL.301 calibre, with a 42-hour power reserve. Readable, the dial features visual elements inspired by the world of fighter jets—such as the yellow dotted line around the date window—and highlights precision-related indicators, especially through the two orange hands for the chronograph function. The indexes and subdials are coated with photoluminescent material for optimal readability in the dark. Finally, the Rafale Solo Display logo appears at the bottom of the dial, as a mark of quality for a chronograph used and approved by an elite fighter pilot. Precise, fast, and efficient, this exclusive limited edition of 500 pieces stands as a testament to the relationship of trust between Bell & Ross and pilots. Designed for Rafale pilots and offered to enthusiasts of elite aviation, the BR-03 Chrono Rafale Solo Display watch celebrates the exceptional performance of this unit and illustrates Bell & Ross’s ongoing commitment to the world of aviation.
