A journey into the past of the legendary Longines brand through one of its iconic models: the monopusher chronograph with a column wheel. Inspired by the first wrist chronographs developed in 1913 by the Swiss brand and belonging to the Heritage collection, this model houses the L788 caliber, a monopusher movement developed exclusively by ETA for Longines, featuring a column wheel and 13 1/4 lines of measurement.
The idea is to pay homage to the original caliber 13.33z, the first chronograph movement designed by Longines to equip wristwatches.
This edition of Longines Column-Wheel Single Push-Piece Chronograph It comes in three versions with a diameter of 40 mm: two versions, one in steel and one in rose gold, show off Arabic numerals and the third, available in steel, with Roman numerals. With all the functions activated from the monopusher integrated into the fluted crown, among the distinctive features of this model is its white dial with all the numbers in black except for 12 in red. With blue hands, the watch has two counters, at 3 and 9 o'clock, as well as a date window at 6 o'clock.
The watch case The Longines Column-Wheel Single Push-Piece Chronograph It changes depending on the model. The closest to the original model is round in steel or rose gold while the third model, made of steel, is equipped with movable lugs and has a thicker and more angular case. All three versions have a transparent sapphire caseback that allows you to admire the movement's blue column wheel.
