Bell & Ross BR 03-92 MA-1 - Flight Jacket-inspired

Since 2005, Bell & Ross has built a reputation for high-altitude performance products by creating a watch series inspired by cockpit instrument design: square, practical, and sturdy. In the cockpit, in addition to the instrument, there are many other equipment. For example, the flight jacket worn by pilots is one of the most important equipment: in the 1950s, with the era of military jets, the design of flight jackets in the United States also changed: the MA-1 officially debuted in this context. Become a symbol of the US Air Force. The MA-1 jacket was originally a pilot's life jacket, but later became a fashion classic, and in 2019, Bell & Ross's new watch was inspired to showcase the brand's creative design philosophy.

The watch is paired with a deep khaki ceramic case with a three-layered openwork dial, orange luminous paint on the lower part of the dial, and a double-sided khaki/orange calfskin strap, making the watch look like a MA-1 bomber jacket. The wearer adds a military style https://www.copywatchalike.is.

Bell & Ross has always adhered to the principle of design first and aesthetics. In fact, the MA-1 flight jacket has the same concept: in the 1950s, jet aircraft were widely used, and the altitude of the flight increased, so the pilot faced the cabin. Low temperature challenge. In addition, the streamlined design of the aircraft fuselage is popular, while the avionics are more advanced, which makes the cockpit more compact. Therefore, in the past, the fleece-lined leather jacket worn by the pilot was too thick and bloated to keep warm and needed to be upgraded quickly.

At the time, nylon was the most suitable replacement material because almost all polyamide fibers were used to make parachutes and parachute ropes during the Second World War. Until the 1950s, the US Air Force's military uniform suppliers finally adopted a light, strong and waterproof nylon garment, while the polyester fiber material was insulated and warmed, with an elastic wool collar and cuffs, and the MA-1 jacket was born.

BR 03-92 MA-1 is inspired by the design of the MA-1 jacket rather than the nylon fabric itself, but the same lightweight and scratch-resistant ceramic material as nylon is used in the deep khaki case with a deep khaki dial. In contrast, the orange luminous numbers set for night flight are more eye-catching.

The raw material oxidized ceramic powder for the case is added to the special pigment without crystallizing, so that the case is dark green khaki. The dial is overlapped by two metal sheets into a sandwich structure, and the number of the upper piece is punctured at the time and position to expose the luminous coating of the lower metal piece.
