Carl F. Bucherer Manero Flyback 00.10919.08.53.01 – History
The Carl F. Bucherer Manero Flyback embodies the Swiss brand’s commitment to marrying traditional watchmaking craftsmanship with contemporary performance. Part of the Manero collection — a line that celebrates classic design with technical sophistication — the Flyback revisits a complication originally developed for aviation and professional timing, bringing it into a modern, everyday package.
From its earliest days, Carl F. Bucherer has balanced innovation and heritage. The brand’s chronograph history naturally extends into the Manero Flyback, where the flyback mechanism — allowing the chronograph to reset and restart instantly with a single press — elevates the functionality beyond that of a standard stopwatch. The result is a chronograph that’s both historically grounded and engineered for modern precision.
The reference 00.10919.08.53.01 stands as a refined expression of this tradition, combining the brand’s technical expertise with an aesthetic that feels both sophisticated and purposeful.
Design and Aesthetic
This Manero Flyback is built around a 43 mm stainless steel case that strikes a balance between commanding wrist presence and comfortable wearability. Its polished and brushed finishes add visual depth while reinforcing the watch’s refined character.
The dial offers a clear and functional layout. Chronograph subdials track elapsed minutes and running seconds, while a date window at 6 o’clock provides everyday usefulness. Applied indexes and luminous hands emphasize legibility and precision, while the textured dial surface adds subtle visual interest. A domed sapphire crystal protects the dial and ensures clarity in all lighting conditions, and an exhibition caseback reveals the movement in action — a detail prized by collectors.
Movement: Automatic Flyback Chronograph
At the heart of the Manero Flyback is a robust automatic chronograph movement engineered for reliability and performance. Key features include:
Automatic self-winding for dependable daily use
Flyback chronograph mechanism allowing rapid reset and restart of timing functions
Date display integrated into the dial layout
Small seconds and minute counters for precise elapsed time reading
Approximately 42-hour power reserve
Exhibition caseback showcasing the movement’s architecture
The flyback function distinguishes this watch from conventional chronographs, offering practical utility for sequential timing and reinforcing the model’s sporty credentials.
