Description from the seller
Longines Nonius Chronograph – Ref. 8271-1 – Cal. 330 / Valjoux 72 – ca. 1970
Description
Magnificent Longines Nonius Chronograph ref. 8271-1, manufactured around the early 1970s.
The Nonius is one of Longines' most characteristic vintage chronographs. Its name comes from the nonius or vernier measuring system, used in precision instruments. Longines translated this concept to the watch with its distinctive orange central hand, designed to facilitate a more precise reading of the chronograph.
This specimen is equipped with the prestigious manual-wind Longines 330 calibre and 17 jewels, based on the Valjoux 72, one of the most renowned chronograph movements of its era.
Main features:
Reference: 8271-1
Calibre: Longines 330 / base Valjoux 72
17 jewels
Manual winding
Stainless steel case
Original inner caseback signed Longines
Crown signed Longines
Orange Nonius hand
The watch runs perfectly and has been recently serviced by a watchmaker. The chronograph functions correctly: start, stop, and reset.
Shows signs of use and patina consistent with its more than 50 years, clearly visible in the photographs, which form part of the description.
A very interesting piece for Longines and vintage chronograph collectors, both for its unique Nonius design and for its valued 330 calibre.
Extras: No box, nor documentation.
Shipping type: Worldwide shipping by express insured mail, UPS, SEUR, DHL or similar.
Does not include customs duties; if any are due, the buyer would pay them.
