As I was showing off the newest Carrera and bragging about its legendary movement, a friend asked, “So why does the movement matter? Aren’t they all pretty reliable nowadays?”. Yes, most of the movements in $7,900 chronographs keep good time and operate smoothly, and the El Primero works as well as any of them. The pushers, the hands reset instantly, and there is a solid feel in winding and setting the watch. Accuracy was within three seconds per day, over the week that I wore the watch.

Beyond this baseline of reliable operation, however, chronograph enthusiasts will find pleasure in the fact that this new Carrera is powered by the legendary El Primero movement. Whether the beautiful design of the movement, its place in the history of chronographs, its death and miraculous rebirth, or the sweep of the second hand, there has always been something special about the El Primero movement. Forty-four years after the race to be the first, El Primero enthusiasts can be proud to be the last, with the El Primero being the only movement in the great race of 1969 that is still in production today.

Jeff, you should be very proud of your Flyback review. The whole article flows smoothly through the story of the watch and adds great bits of peripheral information to flesh it out into a great read. In the above quote you have set forth in a simple straight forward way that even a non watch nerd should be able to understand why we nerds love not just the looks but the guts. You capture it all in a few lines, from the design of the watch in its beauty and technological achievement to the history and importance of the brand and the its place on the tree of watchmaking evolution.

Bravo,
