Unveiling the Longines Ultra-Chron, a standout in the realm of dive watches. Launched in 1968, this remarkable timepiece was the first equipped with a high-frequency automatic movement, showcasing Longines’ legacy of innovation. The brand has been at the forefront of high-frequency technology since 1910, when they introduced the first device capable of measuring time with 1/10th of a second accuracy.
The Ultra-Chron not only pays homage to its 1968 predecessor but also features cutting-edge advancements. It is powered by an exclusive Longines calibre with a silicon balance-spring, ensuring resistance to magnetic fields. This automatic watch boasts a self-winding mechanical movement that beats at an impressive 36,000 vibrations per hour, offering a power reserve of up to 52 hours.
Designed for the modern diver, the Ultra-Chron includes a screw-in crown, unidirectional rotating bezel, and is water-resistant up to 30 bar. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal is treated with multiple layers of anti-reflective coating, enhancing visibility even in challenging conditions. The striking black dial with Swiss Super-LumiNova ensures readability at all times, while the stainless steel bracelet features a triple safety folding clasp and push-piece opening mechanism for secure wear.

This dive watch is not just beautiful but also incredibly functional. The water resistance is fantastic, and the visibility in low light is perfect thanks to the Swiss Super-LumiNova.

I’ve owned several dive watches, but the Longines Ultra-Chron is by far the best. The automatic watch winder feature keeps it ticking perfectly when I’m not wearing it!
