Pressing the reset button after the chronograph is activated results in an instantaneous reset - or 'flyback' - action, allowing for the types precise timing useful to fighter pilots or while waiting at the checkout counter of your local deli.

Unlike the more colorful variant from which the Rainbow collection name was born, this particular example is very much a stark black and white military style, with a crisp, legible dial with printed Tritium Arabic indices, black date wheel at 4:30, and a large luminous handset. A bi-directionally rotating 60-minute timing bezel surrounds its sapphire crystal, featuring oversized ridges for easy grip, and it comes fitted to a multi-link stainless bracelet with signed deployant clasp.
