The present Longines wristwatch is a very unconventional specimen in the world of chronographs considering the very unusual design of the lugs. It is indeed a very fine and gorgeous flyback chronograph realized in 18k yellow gold with a snap on back. The main peculiarity of this watch is the movable and flexible fancy lugs that are able to confer a touch of elegance to this sporty watch. A principle of oxidation is spreading softly all around, but the round case still maintains its original condition. The argentè dial has painted luminous Arabic numerals, and an outer scale for seconds and minutes in a different dark color. The caliber used is the famous and iconic 13ZN.
