For sale is a rare 1960s Longines ‘Water Ski’ Chronograph. Red 8226-1 Cal 330 Longines (Valjoux 72) movement. Unfortunately missing its inner bezel (the outer bezel unscrew so I suspect that’s how’s it’s been lost. The glass also rotates. Runs and seems to keep time. The chronograph seconds hand works and resets but the minute counter does not function. Service highly recommended. Some surface marks, scratches and signs of age. Measures 43mm excluding the crown These watches are £2-3k in good order so this has been priced accordingly to reflect the missing bezel and service
This product would be a great fit for collectors of classic watches who appreciate the history and design of mid-century timepieces, specifically those with nautical themes and Swiss-made movements like the Valjoux 72.
