Blancpain’s new Air Command flyback chronograph now in camouflage green

First released in the 1950s, Blancpain’s Air Command collection features high-performance chronograph watches. The brand’s latest addition to the line includes two new Air Command flyback chronographs in camouflage green. The watches come in two sizes - 42.5mm (Ref. AC02 12B53 63B) and 36.2mm (Ref. AC03 12B53 63B), that fit well on large and small wrists.

The new Air Command flyback chronographs are encased in lightweight grade 23 titanium and feature a bidirectional rotating titanium bezel with a ceramic insert. Its dial, for the first time, comes in a camouflage-green colour to give a vintage feel. There is a tachymeter scale on the dials’ periphery, Arabic hour markers, two sub-dials, 30-minute and 12-hours, at 3 and 9 o’clock respectively, and vintage-inspired beige SuperLumiNova-coated hands.

The automatic movement F388B with 50 hours of power reserve powers the 42.5mm model, while the automatic movement F188B with 5 Hz frequency and 40 hours of power reserve drives the 36.2mm version. However, both the watches are equipped with a flyback function, a useful feature for pilots in resetting the current timing operation and beginning a new one with a single press.
