Three years ago, the Bell & Ross Vintage Sport Heritage paid tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Dassault Falcon business jet. This year, Bell & Ross feature another Dassault aircraft, the multi-role fighter jet Rafale, with its chronograph BR 03-94 Rafale. Like all Bell & Ross watches, the concept that the designers want to get across is that of feeling as if you were wearing part of an aircraft on your wrist. The watch was released on occasion of the Le Bourget air show, 15-21 June 2015.
