Retour en vol is not the same as vol de retour.

It is a watchmaking term referring to a function that is particularly useful for pilots: a chronograph hand that can be reset to zero and immediately started again by pressing once on the push button.

Stopping, returning to zero and restarting the hand in three separate movements would be too time-consuming at high speed.
