BlancPain Leman Flyback Chronograph Black Dial (ca. 2005, Ref. 2385F) – original crystal

Blancpain Leman Flyback Chronograph Ref. 2385F – compact chronograph in steel

The Leman Flyback Chronograph with black dial dates from around 2005 and carries the reference 2385F. It combines a 33 mm steel case with an automatic chronograph movement and the original sapphire crystal.

Case, dial and movement

At 33 mm, the case is considerably smaller than most chronographs today. The black dial underlines the understated character of the Leman line, which makes itself felt through proportions rather than showiness. The crystal is sapphire, and according to the data it is the original crystal.

The case and bezel of this watch have been polished to a high shine. The bracelet has been polished on the high-gloss surfaces and re-brushed on the satin-finished sections. As a result, the case and bracelet look consistent and well kept. Inside is the automatic calibre F185 with a stated power reserve of 40 hours. According to the listing, all chronograph pushers work correctly. The watch is untested, so we make no statements about its running or timekeeping accuracy. The bracelet measures 17 cm.
