Blancpain Air Command Flyback

The Blancpain Specialites Air Command Flyback Chronograph watch is a masterpiece of the sports luxury watch category, combining superlative Swiss craftsmanship, impressive characteristics of water-resistance and durability, and the pedigree of a fine and exclusive mechanical movement. Part of the original Blancpain http://www.buy-replicas.com/watches/blancpain.html "Trilogy" that includes the Fifty Fathoms and the GMT watches, the Blancpain Specialites Air Command Flyback Chronograph watch is one that is versatile and distinguished. The Specialites Air Command Flyback Chronograph watch is animated by one of the best chronograph movements ever produced, the F185 Calibre.

Originally conceived by Blancpain and Frederic Piguet, the selfwinding F185 Calibre is still praised for its fully-integrated, column-wheel controlled chronograph mechanism, and low overall height. Composed of 308 hand finished pieces which are assembled from start to finish by one individual Blancpain watchmaker, the F185 Calibre is extensively refined with Cotes de Geneve, perlage, and anglage finishes. The 21-karat gold rotor of the F185 Calibre efficiently winds the Air Command Flyback Chronograph watch to its full power reserve of 40 hours, and the vertical clutch coupling of the chronograph mechanism ensures that the starting of the chronograph central hand is smooth and without any backlash or imprecise movement. The flyback mechanism, originally developed to enable pilots to have an efficient timing instrument, permits the chronograph central hand to be sent back to zero without stopping it first, thus enabling repeated and instantaneous multiple timings that are not possible with a conventional chronograph mechanism.

The Blancpain Specialites Air Command Flyback Chronograph watch offers this exceptional mechanism great protection within a 40.5mm case wrought from the finest stainless steel, which has been refined with elaborate hand finished surfaces. The chronograph pushpieces, the winding crown and the caseback all screw down, and with their robust gaskets, ensure that the Blancpain Specialites Air Command Flyback Chronograph watch remains water resistant to a depth of 200 meters, a level suitable for diving usage. The unidirectional rotating bezel, finely engraved with a graduated scale, permits the measurement of dive times, as well as more typical day to day occurrences, such as the timing of a phone call or a parking meter. The rich black dial, with finely recessed chronograph counters, is a model of impeccable finishing, and is a perfect contrast with the white gold hands and hour markers, which are coated with ample amounts of Superluminova, for optimal contrast and visibility in the darkness.

The Blancpain Specialites Air Command Flyback Chronograph watch is available on the sporty Aqualung rubber strap, complete with a signed stainless steel deployant clasp, or the very finely crafted X-71 stainless steel bracelet. With its great flexibility, and fine details of luxurious technical sophistication, the Blancpain Air Command Flyback Chronograph watch is a versatile companion that is nearly without peer.
