Horological Meandering

Vintage Longines Diver Chronograph Ref 7981. The marriage of a top movement in a sporty case.

 

The Longines Chronograph Ref 7981 is a diving chronograph issued in the second half of the 60's. The idea was great: Using a fine and great chronograph  movement, the 30 CH, for a sports watch, a diving watch, to be more precise. 


The outcome is very interesting. 

The 30 CH movement, housed in another chronograph:


The 7981, belonging to our dear friend Ztirual: 





Of course, there are more elegant  " 30 CH ", but no more cool ones than this 7981. 

And cherry on the cake, this red crosshairs, matching with the bezel. 

A cool watch I ma hunting for a while, too... 

Best,

Nicolas
