Catalogue Essay
Longines’ savoir faire and expertise in the field of chronographs remains undisputed. The present lot is a superb example of a reference 7413 housing the iconic 30CH flyback chronograph movement.
Its large, 38 mm case is in tune with contemporary tastes. Furthermore it has most probably never been polished and its long downturned lugs give the watch a certain machismo. A crisp blue pulsation scale adds a dash of color to the monochrome silver sunburst dial.
It is without doubt that Longines manufactured some of the greatest wristwatch chronograph movements, and the present reference 7413 is a perfect example. The present lot in superb condition will speak to the collector of sleek sophisticated chronographs from Longine’s “golden era”.
