Launched in 2005, the BR01 was inspired by the simple idea of turning a plane’s cockpit clock into the best aviation wristwatch, reliable, functional, readable and precise.
Thanks to this original idea, “from the cockpit to the wrist”, the BR01 broke with the aesthetic codes of the contemporary watchmaking
By adopting the distinctive design features of this iconic fighter aircraft, the BR 03-94 Rafale asserts a strong identity from the very first glance. The stealthy matte black ceramic case is a reference to the anti-reflective tints of instrument panels in aeroplane cockpits. Rafale’s characteristic colour adorns the dial: a monochrome camouflage grey. The typography of the numerals subtly recalls that of the registration numbers that feature on the plane’s fuselage. The hands used for the chronograph functions are distinguished by orange tips (in aviation, this is the colour of essential features and test flights), which offer excellent legibility.
