Blancpain "L-Evolution R Chronographe Flyback Grande Date", Case No. 134, Ref. R85F-1103-53B, Cal. 68F5, 43 mm, circa 2008
A gentleman's automatic wristwatch with flyback chronograph and large date in mint condition
Case: ceramised titanium / satin-brushed steel / sapphire glass, original steel deployant clasp. Dial: carbon fibre. Movm.: 18k gold rotorwind movement, Glucydur balance.
The L-evolution collection reflects Blancpain’s most dynamic and avant-garde facets. Creative, innovative movements founded on the latest technological advances and forceful, noble design.
The large date with a combination of two discs makes up the date, which is visible in two wide apertures placed side by side.
With the flyback function, pressing the "flyback" button once stops timing the first interval and resets the hand to zero. The chronograph hand starts again the instant the button is released. Appreciated by pilots for the time it saves, this complication is particularly suitable for flying and navigation, but also for undersea diving.
