This piece offers a glimpse into a bygone era of watchmaking, highlighting a true time capsule from the 1960s.

One of my most beautiful vintage Chronograph, this Longines Conquest 30 CH Ref 7413-3.

Surprising on a leather Nato.

Maybe a bit too much.

Better on a perforated calf:

When you think that this watch was sold in January 1966, most probably made in 1964 or 1965... A time capsule.

Best,

Nicolas
