The Basics
Representing the brand’s rich history, one of the significant characteristics of The Longines Telemeter Chronograph is its telemeter scale on the dial, inspired by a Longines chronograph produced in 1933. The circular steel case of this timeless and elegant model has a diameter of 41 mm and houses the caliber L688, a self-winding mechanical movement with a column-wheel chronograph mechanism exclusively developed for Longines. This model is equipped with a transparent case back, date aperture at 4h30, a small second at 9 o’clock, a 30-minutes counter at 3 o’clock and a 12-hours counter at 6. The white lacquered dial with 9 black Arabic numerals features the red telemeter scale and a spiral tachymeter scale. The blued steel Breguet hands, indicating hours and minutes, add a touch of elegance to this exceptional model fitted on a black alligator strap.
