Launched in 1966, Longines' Ultra-Chron line marked a new era in mechanical watchmaking.

In the midst of the race for precision, Longines introduced the revolutionary high-frequency 431 automatic caliber, capable of operating at 36,000 vibrations per hour (5 Hz). The result was an extremely smooth sweeping seconds hand and a level of precision that placed the Ultra-Chron among the most advanced mechanical watches of its generation.

This 1968 example brings all this historical significance together in an extremely elegant package. The original dial is very well preserved, while the stainless steel case has received only a light polishing throughout its life, maintaining the original lines and proportions. Inside, the renowned 431 caliber was recently serviced and shows excellent performance, ready for many years of use.

In excellent condition, this Ultra-Chron is an opportunity for anyone looking for a vintage piece that delivers much more than beauty. It is a watch that combines innovation, historical significance, and timeless design, making it a sure choice for both collectors and those who wish to wear one of the great icons of 1960s Swiss watchmaking on a daily basis.
