A seamless blend of the mechanical prowess of watches and the dynamic aesthetics of motorcycles, the Bell & Ross BR 03-94 BLACKTRACK chronograph is an embodiment of perfection forged in the fires of creativity and innovation.
This creation is born from the genius collaboration between Bell & Ross and designer Sacha Lakic. The BR 03-94 BLACKTRACK is not just another chronograph; it is an intricate bond between speed, movement, and time, echoing the elegant yet powerful essence of the Blacktrack BT-06 motorcycle. Together, they represent a fusion of artistic bravado and technical ingenuity.
Sacha Lakic, a man of diverse creative capabilities, lends his iconic design touch to this chronograph. His works, renowned for their daring and ingenuity, breathe life into objects, turning them into pieces of art that are adored and esteemed globally. “The goal is to create functional products full of passion that give their owners pleasure and stir up emotion,” Lakic professes, and this ethos is the soul that animates both the BR 03-94 BLACKTRACK and the BT-06 motorcycle.

The 42mm case of the BR 03-94 BLACKTRACK, crafted in matte black ceramic and water-resistant up to 100 metres, is a nod to the aeronautic inspirations of Bell & Ross. The iconic design finds companionship in the faceted angles of the Blacktrack BT-06 motorcycle, drawing parallels to the technical intricacies of stealth aircraft. The black calfskin strap, edged with a hint of red, speaks a language of rugged elegance, embodying the spirit of motorcycling.
Within the timepiece, the BR-CAL.301 self-winding mechanical movement, with its 42-hour power reserve to the Super-LumiNova® treated indices, pulses with reliability and precision, echoing the performance of the 1,200cc engine that propels the Blacktrack motorcycle. The dial, reminiscent of a dashboard, accentuates the unity between the watch and the motorcycle. A subtle detail, the superposition of the off-centre chronograph second hand over the minute hand creates the iconic Blacktrack “B.”
The BR 03-94 BLACKTRACK exemplifies a narrative where engineering becomes art, where time and motion are not just intersecting paths but are intrinsically woven into the fabric of one another. Amidst the rhythm of gears and the ticking of seconds, Bell & Ross and Sacha Lakic have not just created a watch or a motorcycle but an experience, a testament to the artistry borne from precision, innovation, and a relentless pursuit of perfection.
