More “extreme” than an ordinary observatory? Actual measurement of Longines Ultra-Chron formal watch: high vibration frequency, strong anti-magnetic resistance, full of details!

Do you know? In the world of watches, the movement is like the heart, directly related to the accuracy and stability of travel time. The L836.6 movement launched by Longines in recent days has a vibration frequency as high as 36,000 times per hour, which is almost twice that of traditional movements! In this way, both accuracy and practicality are improved. Watch lovers should pay close attention to this UltraChron Classic watch!

UHF movement

Watch enthusiasts all know that the movement is the heart of the watch, which determines the accuracy and stability of the watch. The vast majority of mechanical watches on the market use pendulum-type movements, with vibration frequencies generally between 18,000 times per hour and 28,800 times per hour. Although this is quite good, it still cannot satisfy some users who have extremely high requirements for accuracy.

Some watchmaking brands have begun to develop high-frequency movements, striving to achieve double breakthroughs in accuracy and practicality. The L836.6 movement launched by Longines is an example of this. The vibration frequency of this movement is as high as 36,000 times per hour, which is almost twice that of traditional movements. It has inherent advantages in travel accuracy.

Moreover, the L836.6 movement adopts an automatic winding structure, which can obtain power without manual winding and is very convenient to use. In addition, the movement’s power reserve has been increased to 52 hours, which is also a very good result among mechanical watches.

UltraChron Classic

The most attractive aspect of a watch, besides its movement, is its exterior design. The UltraChron Classic watch inherits the design features of the historical model and offers two size options, 36mm and 40mm. 36mm is more in line with traditional aesthetics, while 40mm is more in line with modern people’s aesthetic habits.

The new watch is equipped with the L836.6 movement, so its performance has also been greatly improved. The most obvious change is the dynamic reserve. The old model only has 40 hours, while the new model has 52 hours. This way, even if the wearer does not wear the watch temporarily, he does not have to worry about it stopping. At the same time, the anti-magnetic ability of the new watch is also very good, and it can be used normally even in a strong magnetic field environment, which is something that traditional mechanical watches cannot do.

The UltraChron Classic watch is available in two versions: black leather strap and stainless steel strap. The former is priced at US$3,900 and the latter is priced at US$4,000.

brand value

The “UltraChron” trademark was first registered by Longines in 1984. In the Swiss watch industry, “UltraChron” represents ultra-high-frequency movements. The vibration frequency of such movements is generally more than 36,000 times per hour, and it also performs very well in terms of anti-magnetic ability and accuracy.

This time Longines launches the UltraChron Classic series of watches, which can be said to fully demonstrate the brand’s profound heritage and brand value in the field of high-precision watches.

Conclusion

The UltraChron Classic watch not only achieves a breakthrough in movement technology, but its appearance design also inherits the classics, taking into account both traditional and modern aesthetics.
