While many watchmakers have crafted timepieces inspired by classic vehicles, the newest creations from Bell & Ross are truly unique.

As a partner of the Renault Sport Formula One Team, it’s no surprise that Bell & Ross have introduced the BR-X1 Chronograph RS17: the new line of timepieces takes inspiration from the Renault RS17 F1 car’s steering wheel and dash controls.

The series of three timepieces were created using lightweight Carbone Forge, ceramic, and titanium, much like the materials of the Grand Prix vehicles. Naturally, all of the colors featured on the new watches derive from Renault vehicles.

Bell & Ross’ new timepieces boast a 45mm x 45mm forged carbon case, and push buttons reminiscent of rockers. Wearers will also enjoy watching the complication move via the skeletonized movement.

Additional features include designated color sections for time, chronograph, seconds and power reserve indication, and date.

The Bell & Ross BR-X1 Tourbillon RS17 is available starting at $6,000.
