The modern rebirth of the Longines UltraChron Carbon

Inheriting the brand’s breakthrough in watchmaking performance in the 1960s, the Longines UltraChron Carbon watch is a modern rebirth of the brand’s high-frequency diving watch. In 1968, Longines launched the UltraChron diving watch, consolidating its position as an expert in high-frequency technology. The new UltraChron Carbon watch not only inherits the bloodline of high-frequency diving watches, but also incorporates many avant-garde watchmaking technologies and materials to show its distinctive personality.

The unique design and functionality of the UltraChron Carbon watch

The case texture of each UltraChron Carbon watch is unique because of its unique manufacturing process. Forged carbon material is used in watches for the first time, which means that it is not only light but also super tough. The weight of the watch does not exceed 80 grams, and there is almost no weight-bearing feeling when wearing it. The 43mm case size is a large one, but due to the material characteristics, the UltraChron Carbon watch is lighter and more comfortable than a steel case of the same size. The winding and adjustment crown is located on the right side of the case. The deep black case contrasts sharply with the glossy crown. The forged carbon material has strong scratch resistance, and with the waterproof function, the UltraChron Carbon watch can become the best partner for divers. You no longer have to worry about the watch being damaged when working underwater. The watch is water-resistant to a depth of 30 bar (300 meters), which is what a diving watch should have.

Precision timepieces combined with luxury design

The UltraChron Carbon watch has received TIMELAB’s chronometer certification, which means that it has undergone 15 days of rigorous testing to confirm its accuracy. The special black exclusive watch box enhances the luxury of the watch. Opening the watch box reveals two different colors of NATO military straps, black and bright blue. Attach one of the straps to the watch, and the UltraChron Carbon transforms into a sporty diving watch.

High vibration frequency movement and night readability design

The new UltraChron Carbon watch is equipped with a high-frequency L.836.6 movement with a vibration frequency of 5 Hz, which is twice that of conventional mechanical watches and has higher timing stability. The movement has a dual barrel design and has a power reserve of up to five days. In order to improve the antimagnetic ability of the watch, Longines added a silicon hairspring inside the movement, and its antimagnetic performance is ten times that of the ISO 764 standard. The sandblasted anthracite dial design of the watch is more low-key and luxurious. The hour markers and hands are coated with Super–LumiNova® blue luminous paint, which can be read clearly at night or in dim light.

Conclusion

In short, Longines’ UltraChron Carbon watch is really a masterpiece of both technology and beauty, especially suitable for friends who like diving and sports. Do you think this kind of watch is worth buying? Welcome to share your views in the comment area, and don’t forget to like and support!
