The Longines Ultra-Chron Legacy:

The Ultra-Chron series by Longines was groundbreaking for its high-frequency movements. Introduced in the 1960s, the Ultra-Chron watches, including this one, featured Caliber 431, a movement with an exceptional 36,000 vph (vibrations per hour), making them one of the most accurate mechanical watches of their era. This was a major leap in precision, competing with the best in Swiss watchmaking.

The Ref 8309 model, with its elegant crosshair silver dial, is a testament to Longines' ability to combine cutting-edge technology with stylish design. The crosshair lines, which intersect at the center of the dial, enhance the watch's visual appeal while maintaining clarity and readability. It is a perfect example of the understated sophistication Longines has always been known for.
