Longines chronograph (ref 6552-3) Current Collection De Trey observed the damageThis is a super Longines chronograph from 1962, it is powered by Longines in house 30CH chronograph movement, which is widely regarded as the best manual wind chronograph movement ever made. It's certainly the nicest stock finishing on a chronograph movement that I've ever seen indeed the level of finish is extraordinary the steel work is beautifully grained with the edges broken and polished. The original silvered dial is in very good condition it
