Longines Ultra Chron Automatic Diver 7970 from 1968

Powering this iconic diver is the automatic Longines Ultra Chron movement, a testament to the brand’s precision and innovation during that time. The movement not only ensures accurate timekeeping but also contributes to the overall charm of this classic.

Adding to its allure is the original bracelet, a seamless complement to the watch’s design, emphasizing both style and functionality. A rare find, the watch comes accompanied by its original box, completing the package and adding an extra layer of authenticity and nostalgia. Notably, this timepiece includes additional links on the bracelet, thoughtfully added to extend its length. While these links are not original, they are period-correct, seamlessly aligning with the vintage style of the Longines bracelet. It’s worth emphasizing that having an original bracelet on these watches is already a rarity, making this timepiece even more exceptional.

Owning this Longines diver from the late 1960s is not just acquiring a timepiece; it’s embracing a piece of horological history. From the original bakelite bezel to the well-preserved bracelet and the rare box, each element contributes to the unique story this watch tells – a story of an era where craftsmanship met style in perfect harmony.
