In this captivating post, WatchProSite contributor amanico presents a stunning vintage Longines 13ZN Chronograph from a friend's collection. His detailed photography and insightful commentary highlight the watch's exceptional design and the horological significance of its movement, making a compelling case for its place among the finest chronographs. This article delves into the aesthetic and technical merits that continue to make the Longines 13ZN a highly sought-after piece for collectors.
And if you look at auction results they do fetch a nice sum, up there with the 32x from Omega. The 13ZN and the later 30CH are wonderful calibers and the one you have shared with us here is special in finish since the base and bridges are gilted - very pleasing to the eye I have to say ( ok, since I am not good at movements I judge them from a aesthetic perspective ) Regards, Stefan
Alas, not the same movement, inside.
At first glance the case looked like solid SS until I took notice of the backside of the lugs, oh well ...
so lovely, my friend. thanks for sharing the pics
