Bell & Ross BR 03-94 Blacktrack
I would consider the new Bell & Ross BR 03-94 Blacktrack to be one of the most significant releases of recent times because it showcases a design direction that the vaunted aviation themed brand can bring to their pilots watches in the future.
The watch takes after the Blacktrack BT-06 motorcycle by noted French industrial designer, Sacha Lakic, and the appearance of the motorcycle is inspired by the world of aviation, particularly the faceted angles of stealth aircraft like the F117 Nighthawk.
The BR 03-94 BLACKTRACK chronograph takes the iconic square shape that Bell & Ross is known for, faceting the four corners of the square to create an obvious nod to the motorcycle, and leaving an octagon surrounding the circular dial. The dial itself comes inspired by the instrumentation dials on a motorcycle, with details like the red hands for chronograph seconds and minutes that denote the same function.
Furthermore, the watch also has three interesting details - the first, that the superposition of the off-center chronograph second hand over the minute hand creates the Blacktrack “B” at midnight, and the second, the date in red is always shown with double digits, something that obviously recalls an electronic speedometer, and lastly, a picture of the namesake motorcycle engraved on the caseback.
You will be able to buy this 500 piece limited edition watch by itself if you fancy the design, but if you own the actual Blacktrack BT-06 motorcycle, you can have a little more fun, as there is a space in the center of the console to insert the watch into.
When I first saw the BR 03-94 BLACKTRACK chronograph, the first thought that came to mind was how suitable it would be as a basis for the next generation of aviation inspired watches from the brand. Unsurprisingly, this was an opinion that was shared by others in attendance. When something is so obvious and immediate, I think that most likely, it will be done, and if Bell & Ross needs a little nudge in this direction, leave a comment down below to let them know how much you would like to see faceted edges on the cases of a new line of pilot’s watches from them.
Will it be done? Let’s see.
