A Chronograph Like No Other

The last generation of Roger Dubuis’ chronograph features the Flyback function and offers a fusion of traditional watchmaking and modern innovations.

Taking more months to complete.

The integrated construction is a bold move away from the usual modular approach.

The vertical clutch provides better accuracy and is shaped like a supercar gear-system.

Its patent-pending Second Braking System (SBS) also brings extra stability to the chronograph seconds hand.

Innovative minute counter

The 120° Rotating Minute Counter (RMC) at 3 o’clock perfectly demonstrates Roger Dubuis’ expressive attitude and commitment to reinvention. This joyful and unexpected feature has led to a pending patent and is characterized by a tripartite hand that carries the 0, 1 and 2 past the 0-9 digits on the right, which are presented with large red numbers in pure Roger Dubuis style. The display begins when the chronograph is activated .

Proven performance

The performance of the Flyback chronograph is also certified by the independent Poinçon de Genève. Unlike other certifications, every function has to be tested before and after casing, simulating the realities of daily use as closely as possible.
