Longines Flyback Chronograph Cal. 30CH in 18K Rose Gold, Circa 1947

This vintage Longines flyback chronograph is powered by the celebrated caliber 30CH manual wind movement. The flyback complication allows the chronograph to be reset instantly without stopping, a feature originally developed for aviation and racing use. The watch is housed in an oversized 37mm round case crafted in 18 karat rose gold, featuring distinctive spider-style lugs with a strong mid-century profile.

The silver dial remains in very good original, unrestored condition with crisp graphics and baton hour markers. The watch is fitted with a brand new black leather strap and retains a clean, well-balanced presence on the wrist. A snap-back case construction completes the design.
