Zenith - El Primero Rainbow Flyback - 02.0480.405 - Men - 1990-1999

Zenith El Primero Rainbow Flyback (Ref. 02.0480.405) – The Military Icon Born to Fly

Born from a specification request by the French Ministry of Defence to equip the pilots of the Air Force, the Zenith Rainbow Flyback is one of the boldest, most technical and fascinating chronographs of the 1990s.
This timepiece is not just a watch, but a piece of history of high-end sports watchmaking. Under the matte black, high-readability dial beats the legendary El Primero 405 caliber, a high-frequency automatic chronograph movement (36,000 vph) enriched with the Flyback complication (Return to flight), which allows resetting and restarting the chronograph with a single touch of the button.
