Longines took that challenge seriously, and the Ultra-Chron brought years of precision work out of the laboratory and into an everyday wristwatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat's appealing is how calmly it carries that ambition. The styling belongs to a familiar, elegant Longines, while the little Ultra-Chron emblem tells a rather more adventurous engineering story. It is a lovely reminder that a watch can have plenty to say without raising its voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA BIT OF TRIVIA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLongines' high-frequency experiments predated the Ultra-Chron by decades. In 1959 the company developed its five-hertz Calibre 360 for observatory timing trials, where accuracy was measured in demanding competitions rather than across a shop counter. Longines registered the Ultra-Chron name in 1966, bringing that pursuit of precision to the regular collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOUR THOUGHTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe rather like watches with a little more going on than they first let on. This has all the ease and charm of a traditional vintage Longines, yet there is a whole chapter of watchmaking waiting behind its name. It is the sort of watch we'd enjoy wearing simply for what it is, and enjoy all over again when somebody asks about it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Past2PresentWatches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63221973385603,"sku":"LUC5134BO","price":845.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/2397\/4423\/files\/longines-ultra-chron-8301-front-_4.jpg?v=1794564336","url":"https:\/\/past2presentwatches.com\/products\/vintage-longines-ultra-chron-8301-crosshair-automatic-watch-1970s-serviced-uk-warranty","provider":"Past2PresentWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
