The L-evolution collection reflects Blancpain’s most dynamic and avant-garde facets. Based on the latest technical developments, the alliance between Blancpain and Lamborghini resulted in this striking, expressive Super Trofeo flyback chronograph, which Blancpain released in an edition of 600 pieces in 2010 to mark the Lamborghini Super Trofeo sports car race. The case is made of titanium and is inspired by the sleek profile of the Lamborghini Gallardo. The distinctive anthracite/black dial features two red and white numerals at 9 and 12 o'clock, reminiscent of racing car numbers. Another exclusive feature of this exceptional model is the white gold oscillating weight engraved with "Super Trofeo". With the flyback function, pressing the "flyback" button once stops timing the first interval and resets the hand to zero. The chronograph hand starts again the instant the button is released.
