Longines Chronograph 30 CH Ref 7413. Grace and Beauty.
Is it possible to find a fine Chronograph without having to sell the house?
Of course!
Longines 30 CH Ref 7413:
The Class of a superb dial:
And the majesty of a noble movement:
For the price of a Rolex Date Just in steel...
38 mm case, which is enough as the watch looks bigger in the real due to the generous aperture of the dial.
A pleasure to live, since 2009, now... A pity Longines didn't keep that level of class!
I will post a review on that watch, one day.
Best,
Nicolas

I got to find where you shop
These babies in great shape cost a lot more. I love this watch and movement. Do you have this one? Joe
Yes, Joe, I own it for what? 6 years, now?
True, finding a 30 CH in that shape is not evident, but ont impossible! Thanks, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Agreed, Nicolas. Vintage Longines chronographs . . .
. . . are perhaps the sweetest value in all of watchmaking. Ubik's monopusher . . . . . . is to die for. Marv's more recent example . . . . . . is also my cuppa tea. Some day . . . ...
Or i go to France or ...
To California. A 30CH here requires the "ransom of a King". In any case, it's a very desireable chronograph. Beautiful. Cheers, Nilo
Year?
Hi Nicolas! I took the liberty of posting the pictures of this fabulous Longines in the Brazilian most prolific watch-related forum, and it's been a hit! My colleagues want to know when it was made. Some are assuming at the 1960s Marcelo
Hmm, this would be my birthyear.
I guess sometime I need to buy such a lovely piece!! If you get tiered of it - let me know... (kidding). I presume, you would never sell such a beauty - at least I wouldn't...
Another winner, Nicolas!
I must, must visit some day and see all your wonderful chronographs laid out next to each other. What a wonderful collection! Cheers!
A really lovely chrono!
Another really lovely watch you have there! Also curious what year it is...
I'd define its beauty not less than moving
Thank you Nicolas. And I'm totally with you when you express your sadness about what's Longines today. Ciao, Elio
How nice and lovely chrono my friend...
... a beautiful dial, a great caliber, an ideal size and the quality of Longines of the past. What else? I regret letting pass a similar one some time ago. I wish another opportunity will come. A charming timepiece no doubt. Thanks for sharing my friend! ...
what's not to like ...
got this one from Bruno a real beauty indeed, such a nice chrono movement !! ...
Indeed, Patrick. Congratulations for getting this beauty.
The last picture is so cool! Best, Nicolas
