Longines ULTRA-CHRON (2022)

This is a tribute to the 1968 ULTRA-CHRON Diver, the first dive watch to be equipped with a high-frequency movement at the time. This re-edition model has a stainless steel case in 43mm. Automatic calibre L836.6, a high-frequency “in house” movement. “high-frequency” is defined when the balance wheel oscillates at 36,000 beats per hour (10 beats every second) or higher. LONGINES pioneered in 1914 (to time 1/10th of a second) and 1916 (to time 1/100th of a second), improved precise timekeeping. From 1959 onwards, LONGINES made use of the high-beat-movements to increase the accuracy of its watches. Power reserve is 52 hrs Priced at CHF3,500
