Blancpain L-Evolution R85F-1203-52B

Historical Context & Significance: This watch represents the ultimate fusion of high complication and high-tech materials within the L-Evolution collection. It takes the mechanically superb Rattrapante (split-seconds) Flyback Chronograph with Large Date and houses it in the lightweight, motorsports-derived case of titanium and carbon fiber, otherwise seen on “Super Trofeo” models. The result is an uncompromising sporting “grand complication” that is both visually and technically impressive. The extensive use of carbon fiber on the lugs, caseband, and dial underscores its direct link to the world of supercars. This reference is the most advanced expression of Blancpain’s partnership with motorsports, combining its most complex chronograph movement with its most advanced case technology.

Variations: This is the titanium and carbon fiber version of the R85F model, which was also offered in stainless steel (-1103-) and precious metals like rose gold (-3603-).
