Säljer en underbar vintageklassiker från Longines. Denna mono-pusher är från 1972 och släpptes i samband med OS i München 1972, ett OS som tyvärr gick till historien som ett tämligen tragiskt OS.
Boetten mäter 36mm exkl krona, spår av användning finns men inget som stör.
Urverket är ett Valjoux 236 verk som fungerar utomordentligt bra, håller tiden, nollställer exakt. Servicehistorik saknas i övrigt!
Klockan kommer Head Only!
Lite bakgrundsinformation från HODINKEE:
The history behind this watch is one of hope and ultimately tragedy; it was created for the second Summer Olympics ever hosted in Germany, and the first one not under the Nazi regime. It was meant to present a new Germany, and was marketed as the “Happy Games” or the “Rainbow Games,” manifested in marketing campaigns by a multi-colored mascot named Waldi, a rainbow dachshund. These rosy beginnings were marred by Black September terrorists kidnapping and holding hostage members of the Israeli national team, resulting in the deaths of eleven members of the Israeli team, and seventeen total fatalities.
This watch features the navy dial color (the other two dial colors offered were a brighter blue and silver), and is powered by an in-house mono-pusher chronograph movement for a single 30-minute register.
The dial retains its original tritium material and bright orange luminous chronograph hand. The outer white tachymeter track adds an additional dimension to the single-register dial layout, and the vibrant addition of the orange chronograph hand places the watch squarely in the 1970s. This is a very cool vintage Longines made even more interesting by the historical context around its creation.
