This year, for its Only Watch charity auction, Bell & Ross is offering lovers and collectors of sophisticated watchmaking and thrills a unique experience with the chance to immerse themselves inside a racing stable of motor sports par excellence. Bell & Ross and Renault Sport Formula One™ Team, two prestigious French brands that share the same values and interest in the premier discipline of motor sports, are delighted to associate their names with this auction. Official watch partner of the Renault Sport Formula One™ Team, Bell & Ross has created the BR-X1 RS17 Only Watch for the occasion. This exclusive timepiece is based on the latest technologies and the most innovative materials and features all the construction elements of a racing driver's chronograph. Its highly sophisticated skeleton mechanism reveals its workings behind a smoky grey sapphire crystal. The skeleton chronograph movement combines haute horlogerie finishing and extreme lightness. This instrument with its innovative design features a carbon case protected by a high-tech ceramic and rubber 'belt'. The dial echoes the colour codes of the instruments on board the Renault R.S. 17 single-seater. The bascule pushers, which are used to adjust the chronograph function, allow for great precision. They are made of high-tech ceramic and protected by yellow rubber for better grip. The bezel features a tachymeter scale, a measuring element for calculating running speed. The lucky purchaser, in addition to winning this exceptional model, will be invited by the team to experience the competition from the inside, during the last round of the championship which will take place in Abu-Dhabi at the end of November. A unique experience, the guest will be welcomed by the Renault team, visit the paddock, meet the team drivers and receive Nico Hülkenberg's gloves, which the Team Renault Sport Formula One™ driver will wear during the race. Bell & Ross, motivated by a constant search for new challenges and a passion for performance and precision, reaffirms its support by participating for the fifth consecutive time in the Only Watch charity auction with a model that will appeal to sports watch enthusiasts.
