Like the B-Rocket, the Best bell ross aero gt watch replica was created to market Bell & Ross limited edition watches… this time, a pair of them: the BR 03-92 AeroGT and BR 03-94 AeroGT chronograph. Both are designed to be reminiscent of the automotive and aeronautic industries that inspired the concept car.
For the First Time, a Watchmaker Makes a Car… and It’s a Legit Concept Car. Meet the AeroGT and BR 03-92 and BR 03-94 Watches that Go with It.
AeroGT. Good name for a concept car but not a name you’d expect from a watchmaker. Actually, there’s nothing about watchmaker Bell & Ross’ AeroGT concept car that’s expected. Just let that sink in for a second… the concept car was created by Bell & Ross. Bell & Ross makes watches. Not cars.
Bell & Ross AeroGT Concept Car
So, the fact that the AeroGT (which was unveiled at this year’s Baselworld) is better looking than the Bugatti Chiron and the Lamborghini Centenario LP 770-4 and pretty much any other supercar and hypercar unveiled this year is even more staggering. It’s not like the car is a Ferrari or McLaren that was co-branded with Bell & Ross. It’s a Bell & Ross car.
Oddly enough, bell ross aero gt watch replica is no stranger to building absolutely beautiful motor vehicles. In 2014, they built the fully functional B-Rocket motorcycle, partnering with UK’s Shaw Harley-Davidson Speed & Custom. The B-Rocket bike was built in tandem with the Bell & Ross BR 03-90 B-Rocket watch ($5,800.00), which was limited to 500 pieces.

The BR 03-92 AeroGT has Bell & Ross’ trademark 42 mm stainless steel case, which houses an automatic calibre BR-CAL.318 time-only movement under a fully open-worked dial.

The BR 03-94 get the same case and open-worked dial. But, it’s powered by Bell & Ross calibre BR-CAL.319 automatic three-register chronograph, large date and tachymetric scale on the flange.

Black perforated leather straps with red accents and stitching and red-banded crowns & pushers add even more of a car feel to the watches. Both are limited to 500 pieces.
Unlike the B-Rocket, the AeroGT isn’t fully functional. It’s just a rolling chassis. Although, Bell & Ross was kind enough to include the theoretical AeroGT specs and performance figures. Surprisingly enough, they’re actually plausible.
In the theoretical world of Bell & Ross creative director Bruno Belamich where his concept car rules the road, the concept car is powered by a 4.2-liter twin-turbo V8 putting 602 horsepower through an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Mating that drive-line to the AeroGT’s 2,955-pound carbon fiber and aluminum body would yield a more-than-respectable 2.9 second 0-62 mph sprint (0-60 of about 2.7 s) and hypothetical top speed of 196 mph. Standing kilometer run should clock in at 19.8 seconds. 16-inch front and 15-inch rear six-piston carbon ceramic brakes handle the stopping. 245/35 ZR front and 305/30 ZR tires over 20-inch jet impeller-inspired wheels keep the whole thing on the ground.
Like I said, it’s a pretty realistic setup. What isn’t theoretical is the concept car’s design. Bell & Ross Sales Director, Fabien de Nonancourt, does a pretty good job of explaining the design of the car in the video below. So, I’ll just hit the highlights.
The whole of the AeroGT is inspired by planes. Bell & Ross themselves refer to it as half aeroplane concept car. Tiny, razor-thin wing mirrors hearken back to a plane’s carnard wings. The vertical stabilizer fin on the rear of the car is a tail wing. The huge exhausts are a jet’s exhaust nozzles. And, the whole of the greenhouse looks like a cockpit canopy. The AeroGT is all very plane-y. You’d expect it to be cheesy. But, it’s not. It’s quite well done, actually.
The bell and ross aero gt watch and BR 03-94 AeroGT watches are quite real. But, very sadly, there’s no plans to make the Bell & Ross AeroGT car a drivable reality. Who knows, maybe some car and Bell & Ross collecting billionaire will make it happen. One can only hope. Until then you (and I) will have to be happy with the videos and tech specs below.
