A. Lange & Söhne, Glashütte i/SA "DOUBLE SPLIT FLYBACK", Movement No. 75119, Case No. 177865, Ref. 404.032X, Cal. L001.1, 43 mm, circa 2011
A heavy Glashuette wristwatch in near mint condition, with flyback chronograph, double rattrapante and 38h power reserve indicator - with original box, Lange booklet and guarantee
Case: 18k pink gold, screwed on glazed back, original 18k pink gold buckle. Dial: solid silver, argenté.
The DOUBLE SPLIT is the world’s first and only mechanical chronograph with a double-rattrapante function. It features two pairs of stopwatch hands that can run together as well as separately. For the first time, they allow time comparisons, lap-time and reference-value measurements as well as fastest/slowest measurements of events that last up to 30 minutes.
The long, narrow sweep hand measures seconds and fractions of a second. The minutes that have elapsed are indicated by the respective precisely-jumping minute counter hand in the subsidiary dial on the right.
With the Double Split, times can be stopped to an accuracy of one-sixth of a second. Accordingly, the minute scale is subdivided into six intervals per second. Moreover, the peripheral tachometer scale allows speeds to be measured in kilometres per hour over a distance of 1000 metres.
