Fly-Back Hand
Definition
What is a Fly-Back Hand in Watches?
Flyback Hand – The flyback hand, also known as a “reset” or “retrograde” hand, is a captivating complication found in certain mechanical watches that adds an extra layer of functionality to traditional timekeeping. This ingenious feature allows the chronograph function to reset and restart instantly with a single push of a button, making it particularly useful for timing consecutive events without the need to stop, reset, and restart the chronograph manually.
How the Flyback Hand Operates: In a standard chronograph, pressing the reset button halts the chronograph hand and requires a separate press of the start button to restart it. The flyback hand, however, streamlines this process. When the flyback button is pressed, the chronograph hand instantly resets to zero and begins timing again without any additional steps. This is especially advantageous in scenarios where precise timing of multiple events is essential, such as in aviation, sports, or scientific research.
