Blancpain Léman Flyback Chronograph

This Blancpain Léman Flyback Chronograph is offered in the UK by a private seller. A compact, classically-styled reference featuring a flyback chronograph complication. Presented with a Bucherer branded travel pouch and a service document dating back to 2022 - the original display box and warranty papers are not included. The vendor confirms the watch to be in good working order, with some marks on the case and bracelet commensurate with age. The Blancpain Léman Flyback Chronograph is a compact and versatile sports chronograph distinguished by refined proportions and technical sophistication. Housed in a 38 mm stainless steel case with a thickness of approximately 11.7 mm, it features a rounded profile and a distinctive double-stepped bezel that contributes to its elegant yet purposeful appearance. The matte black dial is legible and function-focused, with full Arabic numerals, luminous hands and markers, and multiple concentric scales arranged on different visual planes. Subdials are clearly defined, and a discreet date window is positioned at 6 o’clock with a matching black date disc. Broad white gold hands provide contrast, while a subtle accent on the chronograph seconds hand adds visual interest. Powering the watch is the automatic Blancpain caliber F185, derived from the Frédéric Piguet 1185. This ultra-thin, in-house movement features a column wheel, vertical clutch, and flyback chronograph function, enabling instant reset and restart. It operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour and offers a power reserve of approximately 40 hours. Screw-down crown and pushers ensure 100 meters of water resistance, reinforcing the Léman Flyback Chronograph’s balance of elegance, durability, and everyday usability.
