The Extra-fort Roue à Colonnes Retour en Vol by Eberhard & Co. exemplifies the unique craftsmanship of the Swiss Maison, blending historical charm with modern innovation. It combines two key features of classic chronographs: the column wheel and the fly-back complication. The column wheel, visible through the sapphire crystal case back, is the heart of the chronograph, while the fly-back complication, known as retour en vol, allows for quick resetting and restarting of the chronograph with a single press, originally designed for pilots in the 1930s. The dial features a frappé finish with circular and azurée counters, available in various color combinations. Strap options include classic alligator leather or a steel bracelet, depending on the dial version.
