Swiss luxury watchmaker Blancpain continues to re-imagine and re-design its classic Air Command wristwatch that was first debuted in the 1950s. This time, the company has unveiled the Air Command Flyback Chronograph, a sleek, high-tech timepiece delivered in either grade 23 Titanium or Red Gold.
The new watch features a 42.5mm case with a striking blue bezel and chronograph layout. Its headlining feature is the watch's flyback chronograph complication, which is used to measure a succession of elapsed times. In addition, the watch is powered by Blancpain's signature F388B automatic movement, which delivers a 50-hour power reserve and 30-meters of water resistance.
Other noteworthy features of the Air Command Flyback Chronograph include a transparent back case, a blue calfskin leather strap, and specialty engravings along the outer case.
