Bell & Ross was chosen by the Armée de l'Air et de l'Espace (French Air and Space Force) to become the official watchmaking partner of the Patrouille de France.
Patrouille de France is the French Air and Space Force's official aerobatic display team, created in 1953. Its mission is to represent the French Air and Space force abroad, acting as an ambassador for French aviation and for France itself. Considered as one of the most precise and aesthetic acrobatic flying team in the world, the Patrouille de France has flown around the world with grace and elegance for more than 67 years. Every year it continues to impress and move new generations of spectators. Comprising 9 pilots and 35 engineers, the patrouille de France manages an annual agenda with a military precision approach.
Its time is split between winter, which is dedicated to training, and summer which is spent demonstrating at air shows. It traditionally opens the Bastille Day parade in Paris, with nine Alpha Jets.
Bell & Ross is honored to raise the Patrouille de France insignia amongst its professional accolades. The professional instrument that Bell & Ross has designed for the Patrouille de France prove its ability to meet very specific needs.
