Launched in 1966, the Ultra-Chron line stood out for its exceptional accuracy and significant technological advancements!

In the 1960s, the watch industry faced the challenge of competing with the increasing accuracy of electronic watches. Longines met this challenge by developing high-frequency mechanical movements, culminating in the launch of the 431 caliber. This movement operated at an impressive 36,000 vph (vibrations per hour), noticeable by the smoother sweep of the seconds hand, providing greater accuracy than the COSC-certified chronometers of the time.

This 1968 example is in excellent condition, with a well-preserved original dial and a lightly polished stainless steel case that retains its original lines. The 431 movement was recently serviced and performs excellently. It comes with a new, high-quality black leather strap.

Ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of fine vintage watchmaking, this Longines Ultra-Chron combines history, technology, and sophistication in a single watch. A unique opportunity to acquire a historic piece, a symbol of the technological advancements of the era, with timeless charm.
