Description from the seller
Zenith El Primero Rainbow Flyback (Ref. 02.0480.405) – The Military Icon born to fly
Born from a specific request by the French Ministry of Defense to equip the air force pilots, 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 sport watchmaking. Under the matte black, highly legible dial beats the legendary Calibre El Primero 405, a high-frequency automatic chronograph movement (36,000 A/h) enriched with the Flyback complication (Flyback), which allows resetting and restarting the chronograph with a single press of the button.
