By the 1950s, Longines had already established an outstanding reputation for its in-house chronograph movements, and the <strong>caliber 30CH<\/strong> represents one of the most significant chapters in this remarkable tradition.<\/p>\n<p>Successor to the legendary caliber 13ZN, the 30CH is a manual-winding chronograph movement featuring a <strong>column wheel and flyback function<\/strong>, and is particularly admired by vintage watch collectors for its sophisticated architecture and exceptional construction. In this example, the movement is housed inside an impressive <strong>38 mm case crafted from 18 kt rose gold<\/strong>, a remarkably generous size for a wristwatch produced during the 1950s.<\/p>\n<p>Completing the watch is a <strong>beautiful original dial<\/strong> that has developed a captivating natural patina over the decades, giving this particular example a distinctive character that cannot be replicated. Preserved in excellent condition and paired with a brown crocodile leather strap, this Longines ref. 5966 is a superb testament to the golden age of the Swiss manufacture's chronograph production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5727,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[15,24],"product_tag":[443],"class_list":["post-26915","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-senza-categoria","product_cat-sold-by-us","product_tag-longines-cronografo-ref-5966","pa_cassa-oro-rosa","pa_epoca-anni-50","pa_genere-uomo","pa_marchi-longines","pa_movimento-manual-winding","pa_tipologia-wristwatches","first","outofstock","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!--
