STONEBRIDGE WATCHES SAYS...Longines Ultra-Chron Automatic – High Beat Vintage Excellence
A superb example of one of Longines’ most technically impressive vintage offerings, this Longines Ultra-Chron Automatic perfectly captures the brand’s innovation during the golden era of Swiss watchmaking.
Overview
Introduced in the late 1960s, the Ultra-Chron line was developed to showcase Longines’ pursuit of precision. At its heart lies a much admired high beat movement, operating at an elevated frequency to deliver improved accuracy and a beautifully smooth sweep of the seconds hand — a true hallmark of horological refinement.
This particular example is presented in excellent condition, with a clean silver sunburst dial, crisp applied indices, and sharp case lines that reflect careful ownership over the decades.
This watch is in excellent overall condition, with a particularly well-preserved dial and case. The watch presents beautifully on the wrist, combining vintage charm with everyday wearability.
It has been paired with a new, high-quality leather strap, soft and comfortable, and finished with a Longines signed buckle, completing the look with period-correct elegance.
Stonebridge Notes
We have previously sold two examples of the Ultra-Chron, both of which were met with strong demand. As such, we were particularly keen to source another example that meets our standards — and this piece is every bit as appealing, offering both technical intrigue and timeless design. This version runs with rematkable daily accuracy under 10 seconds.
Conclusion
At Stonebridge Watches, we have long admired the Longines Ultra-Chron for its blend of innovation, reliability, and understated style. With its highly regarded high beat movement and excellent presentation, this is a standout vintage piece that continues to earn its place among our favourite watches to offer.
