Vintage re-issue well done : the Longines Ultra-Chron classic.
Longines has a track record of well done vintage re-issues and this Ultra-Chron might be their best effort yet.
Longines offers the watch with either a bracelet or a leather strap : for me this is a watch that works best with a strap ...although I immediately changed the original black strap to something more colorful !
The overall dimensions are very pleasing with a height of just under 11mm.
Yes,there is a historical correct date window and I find it well executed !
Very nice mix of polished and brushed case parts.
The movement is one of the highlights : hi-beat with 36000 Hz ,silicon escapement, exclusively produced by ETA for Longines and chronometer certified.
Very faithfull to the 1967 model with only a slightly bigger case (37mm vs 35mm).
The watch also comes in a 40mm version but I felt that the spirit of the original model is best served with the 37 mm case.

The chronometer certification is done by TIMELAB with extensive tests over 15 days with the movement encased into the watch : the result is an almost non-existing daily deviation !!
And finally a wrist shot indicating that the watch wears a bit larger than the 37mm would suggest.
Thanks for looking,

Love the watch and love the pairing. Longines is killing it this year with releases like this one! 🔥🔥🔥
Indeed,very well done!
Maybe Longines should give a helping hand to big sister Omega ☺️😉
It is great watch by Longines. Rarely do they miss. If I am being nitpick, I think the hands could use better legibility. And the caseback should be screwed, not snap back.
In real the hands are pretty legible.
As for the caseback I agree with you.
Probably Longines wanted to stay close to the original model.

Yes, my friend. I gave the watch to my daughter...she loves it.
It didn't get enough wear with me....too many watches
Great gesture, and good decision. I am letting go all those which don't have any wrist time...
Thanks for the first hand review 👏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
It’s a watch I am much intrigued by and always wanted an Ultrachron (and this possibly works better for me than the reissued diver). Absolutely need to see it live 🤞🏻
Very nicely done, Longines was my absolute grail back in late 1980s
did not know much about watches back then, seeing Longines in shop window and dreaming may be some day i can afford one.
