Every year, the Bell & Ross design team goes nuts with an incredible and (sadly) hypothetical vehicular creation.

While Bell & Ross are well known for their aviation-inspired designs, there’s another side to the French watch brand that takes them from the flight deck to the boat deck.

With aeronautical instruments remaining a main source of inspiration for Bell & Ross, it’s fair to say they’re passionate about aviation.
