THREE COMPETITION CHRONOGRAPHS
The stopwatch function has been inextricably linked with motor sports since time immemorial. It serves to measure short periods of time and thus the speed of racing cars. Stylish, functional and easy to read, these three watches reiterate all the Bell & Ross know-how in the field of professional watchmaking. They are called the A521, in reference to the current Alpine A521 single-seater. Relatively similar, the dials of these sporty timepieces reflect the visual identity of Alpine, in particular the constructor’s basic colour code of blue, black and white. They also call on cutting-edge materials tested on Formula 1 cars.

THE ROUND CASE
The straightforward and effective instrument-watch, par excellence, with a 43 mm round steel case inspired on the brand’s Vintage collection. The dial includes 12 numbers in white, which contrast with the surrounding black to ensure optimum legibility. The typeface in italics conveys the notion of speed and momentum. The two stopwatch counters have been designed as stars and white circles, calling to mind the wheel rims of racing cars. The counterweight of the stopwatch’s central seconds hand takes up the stylized “A” of Alpine. A mini red, white and blue flag at 6 o’clock evokes the French origins of Alpine. The duotone speedometer function allows the wearer to calculate speed and used in conjunction with the stopwatch, the two-way rotating bezel, marks the time in even greater detail.
