THREE COMPETITION CHRONOGRAPHS
Under the name Alpine F1® Team, this series comprises three sporty and sophisticated avant-garde timepieces. 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.
BR-X1 A521
THE SOPHISTICATED CASE
This is the most sophisticated model of the collection. Its multi-material case combines grade-5 titanium, ceramic and rubber. The toggle push-buttons are made from titanium, covered in rubber for a better grip, and their ergonomic design recalls the paddles on the steering wheel of a Formula 1™ racing car. A rubber shell surrounds the case to protect it against impact. Great attention has been paid to the skeleton dial. The glazed base offers a view of the spectacular mechanism, including the symbolic X-shaped central bridge and the moving balance spring. The bezel is divided into a fixed, graduated section made from titanium and a rotating aluminum ring, covered with black PVD, allows the wearer to mark the time. This skeleton timepiece was produced in a limited edition of 50 pieces.
