If you haven’t already heard, Renault F1 Team has ceased to exist. Instead, Renault is continuing its F1 career as Alpine F1 Team starting in 2021. As a watchmaker that has been closely associated with Renault F1 Team for half a decade now, Bell & Ross is continuing as the official timekeeping partner for the newly minted F1 team.
To mark this continued collaboration between the two brands, Bell & Ross has launched a new Bell & Ross Alpine F1 Team Watch Collection, inspired by the world of Formula 1.
The Bell & Ross Alpine F1 Team Watch Collection comprises of three sporty and sophisticated avant-garde timepieces, namely, BR V3-04 A521, BR 03-94 A521, and BR-X1 A521. “A521” is, of course, in reference to the current Alpine A521 single-seater.
Each timepiece reflects the visual identity of Alpine F1 Team for this season, particularly the basic colors: blue, black and white. These watches will be worn throughout the 2021 season by the staff of the Alpine F1 Team.
Those lucky chaps! Fret not if you weren’t one of them because, the BR V3-04 A521, BR 03-94 A521, and BR-X1 A521 are available to anyone who are willing to drop the dough for them.
The 43 mm round case Bell & Ross BR V3-94 A521 has a starting price of US$4,400 while the 42 mm square case Bell & Ross BR 03-94 A521 will sell for US$6,400. Both Bell & Ross BR V3-94 A521 and Bell & Ross BR 03-94 A521 has a limited run of 500 pieces.
Meanwhile, the holy grail of this collection is none other than the skeletal Bell & Ross BR-X1 A521. It commands a hefty US$21,500 and there are just 50 pieces to go around worldwide.
