Elegant vintage champagne dial, polished crystal, and guaranteed functionality. Model History: The Longines Ultra-Chron line was introduced in the late 1960s as part of the industry-wide race toward high-frequency movements. Longines was among the early adopters of 36,000 vibrations per hour calibres, branding them under the “Ultra-Chron” name to emphasize their superior accuracy and smooth seconds sweep. This reference 8301-8 houses the Longines calibre 6651, part of the respected 66x family, known for its slim architecture, reliability, and refined finishing. Ultra-Chron models like this represent a transitional period where traditional Swiss craftsmanship met emerging precision-focused engineering, making them highly collectible today.
