Official partner of the Renault Sport Formula One team, Bell & Ross participated in the VIP event at the Benson Car Club at the Bund in Shanghai, organised to celebrate the Heineken Formula One Grand Prix of China which ended yesterday. For the occasion, Amy Chu, General Manager of Bell & Ross North Asia, officially unveiled the BR-X1 RS17 Skeleton chronograph, specially made for the two Renault drivers Jolyon Palmer and Nico Hulkenberg, engraved with their number and name. The case is made entirely of forged carbon and its skeleton mechanism allows the gears to be admired through the smoked sapphire crystal. The chronograph pushers are ceramic and coated with yellow rubber for better grip. The bezel features a tachymeter scale designed to calculate the speed of travel. Finally, the flange on the dial is divided into several one-hour segments, each of which has a corresponding colour to make it easier to read the measured time. The watch hands are yellow, the date hand is red, the seconds hand is green and the hour hand is white. The latter is coated with SuperLuminova for optimal legibility by day and night. The strap is made of an innovative material, rubber combined with carbon fibre, which gives the timepiece a very sporty look.
