My view

What I think of it

Longines Flyback chronograph with caliber 30CH and a French steel case from 1952, a true gem of Swiss watchmaking.

  • Brand: Longines
  • Reference: 5966
  • Model: Chronograph
  • Flyback: Yes
  • Caliber: 30CH (manual-winding chronograph movement)
  • Case material: Steel
  • Diameter: approx. 37 mm
  • Strap/Buckle: Generic
  • Condition: Good
  • Year of manufacture: 1952
  • Working order: fully functional

The 30CH caliber (launched in 1947) is the direct heir to the legendary 13ZN. It is also the very last chronograph movement entirely designed, developed and manufactured by Longines in its own Saint-Imier workshops.

This Longines remains a privileged witness to a golden age of watchmaking, when the manual dexterity of ’50s craftsmen transcended mere mechanics to reach the level of art.
