Up for sale, freshly serviced and working perfectly: a vintage Swiss Made Longines Flagship Ultra-Chron wristwatch with reference 8052. It features an 18k solid yellow gold case, measuring 35mm in diameter and just under 10mm in thickness. The dial features a lovely gold tone sunburst finish, with a calendar window placed between the 4 and 5 O'clock position. Polished and lacquered stick shaped hands indicate the time on raised black and gold tone indices.
Inside we find a very intriguing Swiss Made Longines Cal. 431, an automatic movement with a much higher beat rate than your average watch: the Ultra-Chron was one of the earliest watches to operate at 36,000 bph at a time when the standard was just half that. The movement was completely stripped down, cleaned and lubricated, and is working perfectly. The watch in its entirety was lovingly restored with eye for authenticity: the case was cleaned but not polished, to maintain its sharp edges and lines. The crystal is brand new and free from scratches. The watch came to us with a worn unsigned crown, which we replaced with a brand new unsigned example. It is however a perfect fit for the case.
The watch is in good condition considering its age, with normal wear marks to its case. The dial and hands have aged particularly well, with no real deterioration to speak of. Please study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we. The watch comes fitted to a black leather Hirsch "Rainbow" strap with quick release spring bars and generic gold tone buckle, ready to wear. Accompanying the watch is its original Longines presentation box as well as a little cardboard hang tag, but sadly no paperwork is present with this piece.
Your new timepiece will be packaged with great care, and will be shipped out as fast as possible. We usually ship the same day your payment comes in, and provide full insurance as well as a tracking code for all of our packages. If you have any questions regarding the item or our services, please do not hesitate to reach out. We'll gladly assist as soon as we get the chance!
