Longines 30CH Pulsations Flyback Chronograph

Longines is a brand that needs no introduction. It was a staple of the Swiss watchmaking industry throughout the 20th century. They are well-known for their broad assortment of models and designs, as well as their masterful — and iconic — chronographs.

This particular chronograph, among others produced by Longines, represents an era when achievements in horology reached their zenith, marrying traditional designs with the cutting-edge technology of the day. It features the highly praised Calibre 30CH column wheel chronograph movement with a useful flyback function which allows the wearer to reset the chronograph without having to stop it first.

From a design and stylistic standpoint the overall look of this piece is the perfect amount of symmetrical and minimalist. It features a beautiful silver sunburst dial with matching applied hour markers and handset, all housed in a modern precious metal case. With the subtle pop of red and blue from the scales, it’s a classic Longines Chronograph suitable for everyday wear.

This piece dates to the 1950s, and captures the best of mid-century manually wound chronographs, which by the way, comes equipped with flyback functionality!

This example is in wonderful condition, which is a true rarity on pieces of this kind. This piece provides an opportunity to get a piece that characterizes its era perfectly, and represents much of what we love so much about the period of watchmaking as a whole. All this comes in a wearable case format that still looks appropriate in a modern context.
