The new Bell & Ross BR X1 RS17 Skeleton Chronograph

The new Bell & Ross BR X1 RS17 Skeleton Chronograph, the inspiration came from a Formula 1 steering wheel, on which each piece of information is paired with a different colour. The 45 mm case is crafted from black ceramic and Carbone Forgé. Lightweight and highly resilient, this composite material is the same that is used in Grand-Prix racing cars being particularly suited for structural components subject to extreme mechanical stress https://www.aomwatches.is/.

The elements relating to the chronograph complication are partially coated in “Renault” yellow.Rubber, another material used in F1 for racing car tires, is used on the rim of the case and the “rocker” type push buttons to ensure an excellent handling of the timekeeping functions.The bezel features a tachymeter scale designed for calculating racing speeds while the dial flange is split into several hour segments, each of which has a corresponding colour. This colour segmentation makes the measured time easier to read. The chronograph hands are yellow, the date is red, the small seconds hand is green and the hour hand, white. The latter is coated in Super-LumiNova that guarantees excellent legibility, both day and night.

The skeleton mechanism of the automatic Calibre BR-CAL.313 beating at 28,800 vibrations can be admired through the grey-tinted sapphire crystal.
