Named after Renault’s new R.S. 16 race car for this year’s Formula One season, luxury watch brand Bell & Ross has released two limited edition timepieces in black & bright yellow: the BR-X1 RS16 and BR-X1 RS16 Tourbillon ($TBA).
Both watches feature 45 mm cases made of Carbone Forgé, grade 5 titanium and ceramic with rubber inserts, the brand’s emblematic rocker push-buttons, and a water resistance of up to 100 m. The dials are grey-tinted sapphire crystals, boasting metal appliqué indices with Superluminova inserts, protected by anti-reflective sapphire crystals. Complete with straps made of woven rubber and carbon fiber, the BR-X1 RS16 is powered by a mechanical skeleton chronograph movement and is limited to just 250 pieces, while the other model packs a hand-wound flying tourbillon and is available as a 20-unit run.
