It boasts an unprecedented level of autonomy for a hand-wound tourbillon\u2009: a 50-day power reserve thanks to 11 interconnected inline-mounted barrels. This reserve is displayed on the left, in the same way as the hours and minutes on the opposite side, by means of large luminescent numerals inscribed on black anodized aluminum cylinders. On either side of the latter, red reinforcement bars serve as a reminder of the carmaker\u2019s signature color.

The winding crown is nested in a central insert at the top of the watch, while the time-setting crown is placed on the back of the watch.

First launched in 2009, the Flyback chronograph is distinguished by the dial-side positioning of its double-clutch column-wheel mechanism. It is now housed in a Big Bang with a revamped design featuring a broad case and a deliberately technical dial. The H-shaped screw heads are made even more striking thanks to polished and satin-brushed finishes. The new crown is rubber-clad, and the pushbuttons are round for the first time.
