Longines Twenty-Four Hours Single Push-Piece Chronograph
As a tribute to its precious heritage, Longines takes its inspiration from the models in its museum to design watches that reflect its vast know-how. The latest addition to the Heritage collection is the Longines Twenty-Four Hours Single Push-Piece Chronograph. Housing an exclusive calibre, this mono-pusher chronograph is a re-issue of an earlier pilot’s watch and displays the time on a 24-hour scale.
The diameter of the original model, a magnificent 47.50 mm, has been reproduced, as well as the dial with its 24-hour scale, available in black or silver.
The steel case has a closed back, decorated with Longines’ famous hourglass symbol, in use since 1889 and the oldest logo still in active use in its original form in the international registers of the World Intellectual Property Organisation. Each watch in this exceptional series is numbered.
The model on which this new creation is based was fitted with a calibre originally intended for a pocket watch and later adapted for use in a wrist-watch.
The Longines Twenty-Four Hours Single Push-Piece Chronograph houses an L789 self-winding, mechanical movement. This new column-wheel chronograph calibre, produced exclusively for Longines, is an adaptation of Longines’ own single push-piece movement.
It features a chronograph function, displays the time on a 24-hour scale, and has a small seconds at 18o’clock plus a date aperture at 12 o’clock, at the bottom of the dial.
The Longines Twenty-Four Hours Single Push-Piece Chronograph comes with a black or brown alligator strap.
