The Stratos Flyback, which we took to calling “Felix” for brevity during our time with it, received a lot of attention last fall when it became the first watch to break the speed of sound, worn open to the elements on the wrist of its namesake Austrian daredevil when he leaped from a balloon and free fell 130,000 feet. So much is this chronograph tied to Baumgartner’s feat that the man’s visage is engraved on the caseback. But there is more to the watch than its 15 minutes of fame. It is, in fact, a direct descendant of Zenith’s El Primero movement, the first full-rotor integrated automatic chronograph. It can also track elapsed time down to 1/10th of a second.

 These are random photos and videos that are collated for prosperity sake. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!.........
