“If everything seems under control, you're not going fast enough.”
― Mario Andretti
The high quality stainless steel case with screwed bottom, contains a rare BFG 590 movement form the 1960s. Continuously running, separately reset with pusher at 8h and second resetable even while running (flyback feature). Case bottom is WAKMANN signed and shows the unique number of every watch. The white dial with luminova indizes and hands is protected by a sapphire glass. Dial is signed with WAKMANN Chronograph. The Flyback Chrono is 50 meters water resistant and comes with a 20mm (width) leather strap – optional with a milanaise wristband.
The second pusher provides flyback functionality to measure time-distances of several cars. This flyback is not only helpfull, it is something special. Every push resets it and the hand is back on zero (twelve) and without the need to start measuring again, the counter restarts again automaticly. You dont lose any time in reset and restart. One push and measuring goes on – on the fly!
The 3rd great feature is the ability to measure the speed of a racing car. All you need is a track section of 100m. Push the upper button twice (start and end of 100m distance) and the watch shows the current speed of the car. No matter if you’re a fan of oldtimers and historic races, or a fan of mechanical watches with a real history. This is the watch you are looking for.

The Flyback Racetimer 1960 was created to build a bridge between the long watchmaker-history of WAKMANN and the eventfull era of car-racings. It is created to cherish historical events like oldtimer races and historical ralleys.
While the overall time tracker is used to show the racing time passed by (in minutes and hours), the independent second counter can be used to calculate the time-difference between several cars. Race marshals and visitors use the Tachymetre to measure the speed of driving cars. All you need to do is to reset the counter when the race starts. Measuring of time-distance and speed does not affect overall time measuring! Push the upper right button to start measuring with the big seconds-counter. Push again to stop measuring.
