The Longines Column-Wheel Single Push-Piece Chronograph Watch

The Longines Column-Wheel Single Push-Piece Chronograph Watch
Taking inspiration from Longines' first chronograph wristwatches, in 1913, this timepiece houses an exclusive Longines movement which, like its illustrious predecessor, is equipped with a column wheel and measures 13¼ lines. Each of the chronograph functions is controlled by simply pressing the push-piece, which is inserted in the fluted crown. Proposed in three versions, The Longines Column-Wheel Single Push-Piece Chronograph recalls these historic timepieces with its white dial adorned with painted black numerals, with the exception of the "12" in red; a direct reference to the dials of that era.
