Today I'm wearing an Ultrachron, cal 6651 from 1973. I believe the 6651 is a slowed down version (28800bpm) of the cal 431 (36000bpm) and was a later addition to the Ultrachron line up.
It's still super accurate even for a 50 year old watch!

^Nice one - mine says hi! Post-service, it is now currently one of the two most accurate watches I own, and frankly unlikely to be surpassed by anything else mechanical.

Haven’t worn a Longines in awhile, but after viewing the last 2 posts, decided to break this one out of its box:



Happy Tuesday,

I love ultra-chrons but nice ones at a sensible price are getting harder to find

Love those too !
After seeing those latest posts, I did check on C24 and there is one fairly priced but from Japan : don't know for you but can't import from Japan on the C24 from some reason. Maybe you can and should have a look there 😀

The ultrachrons are such an interesting family...with a wide range of stylish dials and case designs and the ubiquitous high-beat movements. I'm very tempted with the recent re-release of the diver ...but, nevermind the cost of vintage, the re-release is a pricey ultrachron for sure!

Sometime back, I was lucky enough to get in first and buy this one from @JohnSteed, here on OF. These are his photos
