Comprised of nine pilots and 35 engineers, the "Patrouille de France" year is divided into intensive training in the winter and performances at various air shows in the summer. Traditionally, nine Alpha Jets have opened the Bastille Day parade in Paris.

 Founded in 1953, Patrouille de France is the official aerobatic team of the French Air and Space Forces. Their mission is to represent the French Air and Space Forces and to be an ambassador for French aviation and the country internationally. Considered one of the most precise and artistic aerobatic teams in the world, Patrouille de France has been flying with grace and elegance in the skies of countries around the world for over 67 years, captivating new generations of fans every year.

This limited edition of 500 pieces will be released to the general public. The dial of the "BR 03-94 PATROUILLE DE FRANCE" proudly and elegantly displays the Patrouille de France logo.

 When military agencies select watches, various parameters are important: case diameter, special functions, water resistance, daytime and nighttime readability, legible indices, large numerals, precision, power reserve, shock and heat resistance, magnetically resistant case, and rotating bezel. At air shows, pilots fly at speeds of 300 to 800 km/h, with only a few meters separating them from other aircraft. At these speeds, even the slightest mistake can be fatal. For pilots, every second counts. Time is a crucial element for flying in complete safety. Their watches are essential tools for navigating and mastering millimeter time.

 Bell & Ross has worked closely with pilots to develop the BR 03-94 PATROUILLE DE FRANCE chronograph, perfectly adapted to the needs of their missions.
