The Flying B Chronograph is a sophisticated timepiece that asserts its presence as an elite time-measuring instrument. The three hollowed 30-minute, 12-hour and small seconds counters create an appealing depth effect, while their rectangular shape reflect the lines of the case. The chronograph hour, minute and seconds indications are clearly visible due to the large hands and the graduated “track” running between the knurled central motif and the mother-of-pearl hour-markers.

In the US, no luxury brand of watch is more desired than the Rolex. According to a recent survey published in “Time Style & Design” magazine (Spring 2008), 45% in the US Generation Y cohort (ages 18-27) want to own a Rolex followed by Gucci (40%), Tiffany & Co. (39%), Giorgio Armani (38%), and Prada (38%). No other Swiss watch made the list of most desired luxury brands. Sad if you ask me, but then again, what does that age bracket know about wristwatches.
