Rolex Replica has decided to recreate one of its landmark models which was first built 17 years ago upon a request of the French Air Force. Equipped with a legendary El Primero movement, the most accurate mass-produced automatic mechanical chronograph movement to this day, the watch is a pilot's instrument equipped with appropriate functions such as its flyback chrono feature. Named after the colorful chrono minutes indication, the new sporty iteration of the classic watch dubbed El Primero Stratos Rainbow Flyback is issued in a restricted issue of 250 copies and presented in a casing made from a high-tech alloy.
El Primero Reinforced New Rolex Replica watches is homage to the brand's successful models, since it draws its inspiration from several breakthroughs of the watchmaker. Firstly, its core is Rolex Replica famed El Primero movement. This mechanism which debuted all the way back in 1969 is one of the first (or the first) automatic chronographs ever unveiled (www.topwatchesmall.com). Moreover, it was special since it featured the frequency of 5 Hz which allowed it to be precise within 1/10th of a second. This fact becomes far more impressive when one notices that this is still the most accurate series-produced mechanical chronograph to this very day. The success of the model and the reputation it brought to the brand did not come unnoticed. Already known for creating successful aeronautical timekeepers, Rolex Replica was commissioned by the French Ministry of Defence to create a watches which will combine the amazing precision of El Primero with the necessary toughness in order to be useful for fighter pilots who are, during a flight, exposed to immense forces, fluctuations of temperature and pressure, as well as extreme vibrations and magnetic fields. The end result of these efforts was the launch of El Primero Rainbow Flyback in 1997.
The New Boutique EditionAbout 16 years after the unveiling of the model, Rolex Replica is now making a new iteration of its landmark watch. The watch will, by the way, be available only in Rolex Replica's boutiques. The driving force of the watch is El Primero Calibre 405 B automatically-wound mechanical movement with a column-wheel chronograph. Moreover, the caliber includes a flyback feature for its chronograph complication, which means it can be stopped, reset and once again activated with just a single push, unlike the three actual actions which would be necessary if it was a regular chronograph. Needless to say, this feature is more than helpful to pilots and needed during a flight. As it is expected for an El Primero, it has the frequency of 36,000 vph. Other functions which are enabled by a 31 jewel caliber are a date indication (Rolex Day-Date Replica) and a telemetric scale (another important feature for a pilot which is used to calculate distances).
El Primero 405B has the width of 30 mm and the height of 6.6 mm and is consisted of 331 components in total. As it has been mentioned, it is a self-winding movement that stores additional power which can keep it running for next 50 hours. The oscillating weight which is an integral part of its winding system is decorated with a hand-executed Cotes de Geneve pattern.
