Longines Chronograph 30 CH Ref 8225-2 " Nonius ".
In the last years of the Longines 30 CH, we had some off the beaten paths versions, such as the Diver Chronograph, Ref 7981, A big cushion case: And the one I wanted to share with you, here, the Nonius, Ref 8225-2. The Nonius is a special 30CH, able to me...
That's a beautiful movement, and it looks in perfect condition.
Thanks for sharing. Vte
It’s all about the great movement...
Love these watches. Perfect vintage for any collection however impressive.
Any possibility to put this movement into my Avigation :-) ?
Seriously, this is the kind of watches that created the Longines reputation. Back in the sixties (I still remember these days), Longines was one the Swiss brands with the highest recognition.
Strangely enough, there were two offered by a local seller . . .
. . . about six years ago. Both in good condition, one slightly better than the other, and for ~ $3K. Sad to say, they disappeared about five years ago. ;-(
My hunch is they're closer to $5K now . . .
. . . and wouldn't be surprised if they went for more. These were, if memory serves correct, the final iteration of cal 30CH chronographs. A Art
Are you thinking about . . .
. . . this one? [photo and watch credit: Marv, ~ 2010] Yes, these cushion-case Conquests were issued about the same time as Nonius. Art ...
I would gladly have either . . .
. . . at yesterday's prices. Not sure if I would pop for one today. The same $5K gets you a lot of Omega ;-) . . .
